Soccer Games Ends With Streaker

And now, our second story of sports nudity of the day. This time, there is video, but don’t get too excited: it’s grainier than the Zapruder Film.

On the other hand, that might be a good thing for the kid’s future love life.

Here’s more from FOX 8 in Cleveland:

According to Wadsworth Superintendent Dale Fortner, a high school student is now in hot water for “streaking” across the field during a school soccer game. Tuesday night, the Wadsworth High School boys soccer team hosted a game at home. Just as the clock ran out, a man in a ski-mask went sprinting down the sidelines. Seconds later, the streaker hopped the fence and took off.

Students who were lining the sidelines during the end of the game say they had an idea something big was about to happen. One soccer player told FOX 8, “He had the button pants on. He just ripped them off and ran across the field.” Elizabeth Greissing was there to watch her grandson’s game. She said, “I couldn’t figure out what was going on. All I saw was somebody running down the way and then next thing I knew it was over and done.”

HS Football Games Ends in Coach Mooning Opposing Fans

Dumbass Category LogoAs strange as this story is, this isn’t the first time we’ve reported on a coach caught mooning. Back then, a soccer coach was in trouble for showing off his backside to opposing players after a disputed call. This time, however, the cheekiness happened in New York City (and took four writers from the NY Daily news to put it together) so you know this incident is going to get a lot more press.

Here are the basic details: Boys and Girls High School is playing at Campus Magnet on Saturday. Late in the game, Campus Magnet scores a touchdown to take a 14-6 lead. They go for two, but the runner appears to fumble at the goal line. The refs get together and decide the conversion was good because the ball had broken the plane of the goal line before the fumble. Unfortunately, the coaches at BGHS disagreed and started yelling at the refs. Things got heated and the Campus Magnet school security got involved and things REALLY got heated. Eventually the refs had to eject the BGHS head coach and some assistants, but not before the home fans started heckling them. At that point, the shorts came down and the game was called on account of mooning. And we’re pretty sure that’s the first time we’ve reported on that.

Our favorite quote from the story? “His fellow coaches were holding him back and he turned around and pulled down his shorts,” said David Sumter, 40, a Campus Magnet parent. “All I saw was his big \[rear end\].” Classy!

Here’s more from the NY Daily News:

Campus Magnet had just scored a touchdown, extending its lead to 14-6. On the 2-point conversion try, running back Raeshawn Lewis was apparently stripped of the ball as he crossed the goal line.
There was confusion over whether Lewis fumbled. After the refs convened, they ruled that Lewis had broken the plane of the goal line with the ball firmly in his hands.

The Boys and Girls coaches went ballistic, charging onto the field to argue the call. The coaches, clad in red T-shirts and shorts, hurled obscenities at the refs, witnesses said. After a few minutes, five school safety officers rushed the field and pulled out their handcuffs, further stoking the Boys and Girls coaches’ rage.

“It didn’t look like much at first, but then they just kept on going,” said a 16-year-old student. “They were cursing and yelling.” The refs ejected Boys and Girls head coach Barry O’Connor and his assistant, Clive Harding, and called the game with 3:49 left in the fourth quarter to give Campus Magnet a 16-6 victory.

Fans from Campus Magnet kept heckling the Boys and Girls coaches, witnesses said. That’s when the burly assistant lost his cool – and then his shorts. He walked toward the fence surrounding the field, started screaming at some fans and then revealed his caboose.

Painful Sports (Game) Video: NBA Elite 11 Has Jesus Christ

We’re not big into video games, but to our untrained eyes, this “feature” on NBA Elite 11 looks like an little bit of programming mistake to us. It turns out that if the Lakers get behind, one of their players stands in the middle of the court and stretches out his arms like he’s Christ on the Cross. Just stands there, not moving. The most fun we’ve had with a video game since hackers figured out how to take the bikinis off the female volleyball players in Xbox “Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball” game back in February of 2005.

Maybe it’s a Phil Jackson “Zen” thing?
