Daily Blast: May 1, 2013

“Chunky Cheerleader” Update – Yesterday we posted a story about the awful article on the Houston CBS website about a cheerleader for the Oklahoma City Thunder that the blogger thought was too chunky to wear her skimpy outfit. According to a report today, “a CBS Sports Radio digital content manager has been let go from the station.” Our long national nightmare is over.

Now, to more important news . . .

Jaguars Justin Blackmon Suspended for Four Games for Violating NFL’s Substance-Abuse Policy –  And, it’s emphasized in this story that it’s NOT for performance enhancing drugs, aka steroids. Dude! It’s Blackmon’s third substance-related incident in less than three years.

Video: Warriors Steph Currier and Nuggets Fan Get Into It – Hard to really see much here, but it makes for a good headline.

And, only because it will make give ESPN something to do over the next month: Tim Tebow Becomes a Free Agent - You always have a job writing for us Timmy! (He can write, right?)

Is this “The Ultimate Mascot FAIL Compilation?”  If not, it’s pretty close.

Daily Blast: April 30, 2013

Okay, here we are again, making changes to the website.

Again.

Hopefully we’ve got it pegged this time, but we’ll see about that. I’v decided to try and go back to what I was doing when I started this site 13 years ago: link to news stories of bad jocks.

Period.

While the blogging format is great, most of the stories we come across don’t deserve an entire post. Most barely deserve a link. If we DO find something worthy of a single post we’ll give it a Special Update designation. Otherwise we will just do a Daily Blast of links we find interesting.

Early on, a reviewer criticized this site has having “one link piled on top of each other in no apparent order.” Exactly.

So if you’re looking for long commentary and analysis, you’ve come to the wrong place. This site is for those with a sense of humor and short attention span.

You’re welcome. And now to the random links.

Shocking: ESPN’s Skip Bayless still defending Tim Tebow. Marry him already Skip! Watch the video here.

HS Coach Sex Scandal in NJ – High school track coach scores a triple play, gets fired following allegations he “accessed pornographic material on his school-issued computer, made inappropriate comments to female student athletes and engaged in inappropriate conduct.” When did he have time to coach?

HS Coach Sex Scandal in FL – What, you thought there would be only one today? Where have you been? This guy got in trouble when he allegedly solicited sex from one high school girl when then compared notes with a second girl who he had also–allegedly–tried to get sex from. The only thing worse that a woman scorned is two women scorned.

Hazing Update: HS Baseball Coach Takes Leave of Absence Over “Biting” Hazing Incident – And no, we are not saying that the story was “biting” in terms of how important it was. No, this is literally a  hazing incident on a baseball team that involved one player biting another as part of a team initiation. Nothing says “I want to be your teammate” like teethmarks on you body. A new low for sports hazing.

OKC Thunder Cheerleader Kelsey Williams

And finally . . . The “Chunky Cheerleader” Story continues to get traction - Two things to note here: if you’re going to make fun of an NBA cheerleader for being overweight, please look in the mirror first. And second, even if we all look at some young lady and think she might be a little heavier than your average stick thin cheerleader, for God’s sake don’t put it writing. At right, Kelsey Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“So Painful, Painful in My Areas!” – Soccer Ref Files Lawsuit Over Groin Grab

Attackes on soccer referees are NOT uncommon. We’ve chronicled a few a them over the years.

But usually they get punched or kicked by angry players, coaches or fans. This poor guy in Kenya though, first was allegedly kicked and hit by members of a youth soccer team (kids!)and then grabbed by the coach. And by “grabbed” we mean by the testicles and pulled down on.

Apparently hard enough to cause some severe pain in his, uh, “areas” according to published reports, which resulted in his inability to have normal relations with Mrs. Referee.

So, of course, he’s suing the soccer league for nearly a quarter of a million dollars, which will pay for a lot of groin ice packs.

Referee Martin Wekesa said he was seeking $240,000 in compensation from FKF after the alleged assault in a game in September last year, when he was kicked and hit by members of the Sparki Youth team before being “attacked in my private parts” by one of the coaching staff. Wekesa said Daudi Kajembe came onto the field and assaulted him after a decision to send a Sparki player off. “He pulled my testicles. He actually pressed them and I was hanging on him when he was pulling me. I was crying and could not get myself out from his hands,” Wekesa said. “I remember Kajembe told me, raising his hand, ‘I can kill you in a minute,’ and came directly to my testicles.” Wekesa was rescued by a police officer, he said, but slumped to his knees in pain on the pitch before being taken to the hospital. He is now unable to have sex with his wife, he claims, saying it is “impossible.” “It is so painful, painful, painful in my areas,” he said.
