There will be no more brawls at Bradley Tech

Actually, there will be no more fans at Bradley Tech either. Following a brawl Tuesday night after the Bradley Tech vs Bay View High School game, school district officials have banned Bradley Tech and Bay View from attending any varsity or junior varsity boys and girls basketball games. Their opponents’ fans will be allowed to attend games however.

On Tuesday, the brawl lead to six injuries and ten arrests including a girl who suffered a seizure during the brawl. Somewhere someone is trying to figure out a way to blame Ron Artest for this.

Here’s video of the brawl.

Cheerleaders. Soldiers. Booze. Sex.


That’s the headline from Newsweek. They are either running out of good headline writers or they simply realized that there really isn’t anything more you need to add. Why waste words when that will get everyone’s attention. Hell, if they could have added lesbian to it, I’m sure they would have. Titillating headlines aside, this story has got everything that tabloids love… except it’s Newsweek.

According to the article, two cheerleaders from Ware Shoals High School in South Carolina ditched a school function and instead headed to a hotel room with their coach Jill Moore to meet two National Guardsmen on a recruiting trip to their high school. Moore allegedly gave the girls vodka and then went to another hotel room with one of the guardsmen and left the other one with the two girls. One of the girls admitted to having sex with him.

Oh but wait… there’s more. The principal of the school is being charged with obstruction of justice for trying to cover up what the cheerleading coach did. Oh but wait… there’s even Moore… (sorry)… Jill Moore also is accused of having sex with a male high school student and separately would bring along a cheerleader to the National Armory to distract other employees while she had sex with a Guardsman. Did we mention she is married with two kids. (Jill, you dirty slut.)

Moore is the only one to be charged. The guardsman are off the hook because everyone involved were at least 16, the age of consent in South Carolina. The Newsweek subheader was “A National Guard recruiting mission gone awry shakes a small South Carolina town to its core.” Did it really go awry? This might be the single best thing to happen to the National Guard. What high school student isn’t going to want to join the Guard now? Look at the perks!

Sportsmanship is alive and well in Connecticut



Thinks there’s a BCS
in high school sports

The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference has instituted a rule that any football coach who runs up the score and wins by more than 50 points will be suspended for the next game. The CIAC claims it’s been looking into this rule for the last couple of years but apparently it’s all because of one coach, New London’s Jack Cochran.

During a game when his team was up 60-0, Cochran called a timeout right before the half, ostensibly to get another score in. (This might be the biggest dick move since Buddy Ryan ordered Randall Cunningham to fake a kneel down against the Dallas Cowboys.) That angered the opposing coach so much that he hit a security guard and a New London assistant coach and was arrested. So now, the football mercy rule is known unofficially as the “Jack Cochrane rule”.

Football committee chairman Leroy Williams explained the need for the rule.


Try to explain that to kids. When you get someone down, you don’t have to kick them. The key thing to remember is, it’s about the quality of the game. It’s about teaching kids right from wrong. It’s about the game of life and that’s how we had to look about it.

Actually, if it’s one thing we learned from watching amateur sports like college football and Bob Stoops over the years, it’s that you should always run up the score whenever possible because that’s how you come out a winner!
