BadJocks Stories From the Week of July 8, 2007 Is Your Diet "Idiot Proof?" - Fat Loss 4 Idiots (aka The Idiot Proof Diet) guarantees that you'll lose 9 lbs every 11 days! Get the risk free download here MORE STORIES AFTER THIS WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS
First Cheerleader Lawsuit of the 2007 Football Season: Parents Sue When Girl, 14, Gets Cut From Squad - You knew this had to be in Texas, right? Where they take cheerleading VERY seriously. Take for example Wycoda Fischer, 14 at Yorktown High School. She'll be an incoming freshman and was one of seven girls trying out for six spots on the freshman squad. Guess who didn't make the team? So why are the parents suing? According to their lawyer, Lisa Duke, Yorktown had already made an exception for the varsity, allowing 9 girls in to a team that was only supposed to have 8. Why is that? The coach apparently didn't hold tryouts because she thought there were eight girls trying out for eight spots, after telling everyone a current member of the squad wouldn't return. Oops, that was a mistake. First the girl's parents tried to go before the school board to get Wycoda into spanky pants. No dice. So, now the Fischers think that mistake should equal another mistake for their little girl and are willing to go to court to prove it. (Victoria Advocate) NCAA to U of Oklahoma, "You're 2005 Football Season? It Never Happened. Thanks." - Remember last summer when we all found out that the summer jobs at a Norman car dealership held by the Sooner's projected starting quarterback, Rhett Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn didn't actually require them to do any work or show up? Yeah, the NCAA finally got around to investigating that and have decided to penalize coach Bob Stoops and the rest of the team for "failure to monitor" the employment of the players. The punishment? They will have to forfeit all of their wins in 2005 and lose two scholarships. Ouch!. (ABC News) HS Coach Sex Scandal Update: Parents of Girl, 16, Who Allowed Her to Marry Coach, 40, Sue School for Not Keeping Lovebirds Apart - The last time we heard from the parents of Windy Hagar, 16, a HS cross country star at South Brunswick High School, they were reluctantly giving their permission for their little girl to marry her 40-year-old coach, Brenton Wuchae. That was on the same day that Wuchae resigned as a teacher/coach at SBHS in order to avoid charges that he was allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a student. And now? Dennis and Betty Hager of Oak Island are seeking at least $20,000 in damages from the school district for allegedly failing to protect their daughter. Wait, what? (My Fox NY) Fan Steals CFL QB's Helmet After Home Loss - The rules are different in the Canadian Football League: the field is 150 yards long, there are only 3 downs, but 12 players. The fans also apparently play by a different set of rules, one that allows you to walk onto the field after the game, grab the starting QB's helmet and calmly walk out of the stadium. A fan of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats almost got home with a great souvenir of Timmy Chang's, but an alert security guard spotted him and made the arrest. (The Spec) Lawn Dart "Accident" Lands Man in Hospital - Does anyone else remember Lawn Darts? Giant metal darts that you could throw around the back yard toward yellow plastic rings? Yeah, the US government banned them 30 years ago, but a few survived and I always thought the idea that someone would be stupid enough to get hit in the head was some kind of urban legend. Apparently not. Someone must have found an old set in the garage because Nashua, NH was seriously injured at a party when he was hit in the head by a lawn dart. No word yet if alcohol was involved, but that would explain a lot of things. (WMUR) UPDATE: Towel Question Answered - Several Texas readers
wrote to us to tell us that the "barbershop towel around the neck" is
the latest trend in mug shots in the Lone Star state. Apparently they feel that
it equals everyone out so that a guy with a suit and tie on looks just a guilty
as a guy with a torn Fog Hat t-shirt. We think it makes them all look like they
just came in for a shampoo and rinse. Six UTEP Football Players Involved in Brawl With Cops - Gentleman, the gauntlet has been thrown down! Before the 2007 college football season even begins the University of Texas, El Paso has 6 players--five of them underage, one already kicked off the team for other reasons--in trouble after they were arrested following a bar brawl that eventually involved cops. That kind of fast start is going to make UTEP a favorite to win the BadJock Team Award this season, but don't count out perennial favorites Miami and South Carolina. Back in El Paso, cops say that they responded to a brawl at a downtown bar and while attempting to make some arrests, one of the players is accused of attempting to take a weapon from a law enforcement officer, the others only resisting arrest, public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

Summer Golf Madness Begins -
About this time each year, we start seeing strange crimes reported in and around
golf courses. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's just bored HS kids with nothing
better to do. Whatever it is, this year looks to be a bumper crop! New Member of the World Famous BadJocks BAC Rankings! - UMass Lowell's hockey coach Blaise MacDonald was suspended this week after being arrested on drunken driving charges over the weekend. According to police, they found MacDonald asleep in the front seat of his SUV at about 9 pm Friday night in front of a condominium complex. When tested, his blood alcohol level came back as .23 and .25% or about three times the legal limit. But apparently MacDonald was still thirsty, as cops found four beers and a 750 milliliter bottle of vodka in his car at the time of his arrest. How much drinking is a .25% BAC? According to the chart on our BAC Rankings Page, if MacDonald weighs about 200 lbs (he doesn't look like a real big guy) he would have had to consume at least 12 drinks in the hour before cops found him. The good news? The .25% BAC effort does land MacDonald in a tie for the #12 spot on our list, in case you're keeping score at home. (USCHO) Outrage of the Week: Lawsuit Claims Female College Basketball Player Told Christian School She Was Sexually Assaulted by Coach, So They Decided to Punish Her - From our "Strange, But Allegedly True" files: A female basketball player at Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL has filed a lawsuit against the school claiming that after she reported being sexually assaulted by her coach last season they punished her instead. The suit, filed under the name "Jane Doe", claims that her coach, Drew Brauer, repeatedly made sexual advances toward her and assaulted her in his hotel room on road trips. It goes on to say that when she had a good game after one "assault" Brauer told her it had helped her effort. She disagreed and refused to "play ball" any more and claims that as a result, he berated and benched her. But the fun doesn't end there: according to the lawsuit, once her mother found out and told TIU, their response was to interview Brauer who told them it was a consensual relationship, so they decided to punish "Jane" for breaking school rules. No, seriously. They claim she violated school conduct codes by engaging in a relationship with her coach and suspended her five games. In addition, she had to endure a year of probation, perform 20 hours of community service and engage in a mentoring program with a faculty member, while also going through counseling. (Sun Times) |

HS
Football Coach Arrested in Internet Sting Operation, Takes Odd Mug Shot Wearing
. . . a Towel? - About all we know is that Robert Rigby, an assistant HS
football coach at Rowlett High School in Texas, was arrested this week as part
of a sting operation after he allegedly sent, uh, "inappropriate
pictures" of himself over the Internet to a person he thought was a
15-year-old girl. NOT! (Once again, some fat, bald undercover cop somewhere is
laughing at a keyboard somewhere.) What's really interesting is Rigby's mug
shot, where he appears to have a white towel draped over his chest.
Was he shirtless when they arrested him? Maybe so hot and sweaty he needed to
towel off? No one is saying for sure, but you can let your imagination fill in
some of the blanks here. (
Teens
Shoot Arrows Into Youth Soccer Game in Australia - That's right. Some idiots
thought it would be funny to use a bow and arrow to disrupt a youth soccer game
at Jelbart Park in the town of Albury. While about 100 players and their parents
were warming up, several teens--in full view of the crowd--started firing into
the general vicinity. Obviously concerned parents called police who arrived
quickly and got control of the situation. Said Constable Simon "Mr.
Obvious" Steel, " “It was a recipe for disaster. There was no regard
for public safety. They were firing towards a group of people so those arrows
could have gone anywhere.” Ya think? Police later learned that the
weapons--including one recurve and four compound bows--had been stolen the night
before from a local sporting goods store. So far, four juveniles aged nine to 13
had been arrested at the scene of the crime and later two more punks were
arrested on a nearby road after being seen carrying bows and arrows. (
Two
Drunk Men Accused of Driving Friend's Golf Cart Into Lake - What is it about
electric golf carts and water? They seem to find each other like magnets.
Usually, it's drunk kids breaking into a country club in the middle of the night
and stealing them to vandalize the course . . . with one usually ending up in
the club pool or pond. This time it was two men near a country club in Naples,
Florida. Apparently, the fiancé of one of them was house sitting for a friend
for a friend over the Fourth of July weekend and they decided to take the golf
cart for a spin after allegedly downing a few adult beverages. This, at only 3
o'clock in the afternoon . . . in the rain. When police officers arrived at the
scene, their first question of Raymond Charles See, 31 and Mark David Yerger, 29
was if they had permission to be driving the cart, and Yerger reportedly
responded, “I think so.” At that point, officers noticed that both smelled
of alcohol, were staggering around and had watery eyes and slurred speech. Both
were charged with misdemeanor disorderly intoxication. Still, Mr. See (left)
looks pretty happy in his mug shot, right. (
