New And Improved Hazing

Now With Sodomy!

Why is it no surprise to me that the following, and rather disturbing item comes to us courtesy the state of Utah? I don't know, it just seems to fit...no pun intended.

Three high school football players in Salt Lake City have been arrested and charged with multiple first-degree felonies including, forcible sodomy, attempted forcible sodomy, and forcible sexual abuse. This from the Desert Morning News:

In one incident, a student said that after East's football game against American Fork on Aug. 30 and before the game against Highland on Sept. 6, he was jumped by two students in the locker room, according to court documents. The two juveniles held the victim down while a third attempted forcible sodomy, court documents state. The boy was able to escape by fighting off his attackers.

First off, that kid is a bad-ass for getting himself out of that pickle. Second, thanks to the Desert Morning News, and court documents for showing some discretion by not letting us know which end that sick little punk was trying to forcibly sodomize. Some things are better left unknown. You can check out the full story by clicking here.

Best Sports Month--Ever

Hell, we had a hard enough time getting through September without our heads spinning clean off of our necks. Watching eight football games at once, while monitoring two fantasy leagues and multiple parlay tickets can be rather exhausting. Having Drew Brees as our FFB QB hasn't helped matters much either. You have no idea how much I hate that man right now.

October offers no let up, as the first quarter of the NFL season wraps up this weekend. This is typically the week that the picture tends to become a little bit clearer, as four teams usually separate themselves from the rest from the rest of the pack and are considered "elite". The Pats, Colts, and Steelers are already there. If Dallas handles the Rams like everyone expects they will, the 'Boys will round out the top four. Damn, the NFC is worse than ever before.

The MLB playoffs get underway next week with our beloved Halos going up against the one team no Angels fan is looking forward to seeing. Boston has historically owned the Angels in post-season play, so you'll have to excuse me if I'm not exactly fired up for the best-of-five series that gets underway next week in Boston.

The NHL is underway. WSS doesn't care all that much unless the Kings are good, and even then we don't pay much attention untill the playoffs. I'm sure there will be a sweet on-ice brawl or two we may highlight over the next several months, but that's about it. There's your NHL update for the year, unless NBC figures out how to handle the playoff coverage a little bit, no...much better this season. If you like puck, go here.

UPDATE

Norv Turner is still the head coach of the San Diego Chargers.
