Jocks Gone Wild - Perusing a recent story in the Sports section of the Virginian-Pilot has led me to discover a fun new website: "BadJocks.com" Billed as a cross between ESPN's Sportscenter and Fox's Cops, the site focuses the harsh light of public scrutiny on the misbehavior of amateur and professional athletes -- particularly boozing, brawling and babe molesting.

The story in question reports that Virginia Tech place-kicker Brandon Pace was recently featured in a web segment called "Who Did Something Stupid Today?" after photos of the underage student appearing in an online album "apparently showed him and backup fullback Jesse Allen drinking heavily." Make that "doing beer bongs." Given the stunt's now-widespread publicity (last item), expect the sophomore from Virginia Beach to graduate to "Dumbass of the Week."

There's lots more hilarity at BadJocks.com. I recommend checking it out.
