Former Gonzaga standout Raenna Jewell was busted for inappropriate relations with a minor. Not like a miner in a mine, or a mimer with a mime. They’re just called mimes. Anyway, Jewell was the Apache Junction High School freshman girls basketball and softball coach, and the article doesn’t say whether the 16-year-old in question was swinging the lumber or taking it to the hole. Break it down for us, Badjocks:
According to reports, Jewell, 25, was first arrested on suspicion of sexual conduct with a minor back on March 29, three days after cops received a report from the victim’s mother about some “suspicious text messages” being exchanged between her daughter and Jewell. Uh, oh.
Text messaging is going to take down an entire country one day, I can feel it. Can you imagine if Nixon had a cell phone? Actually, that’s a bit different, since the only person he tried to screw was, well, everyone.

Central Michigan University has agreed to a payout of $450,200 after its former women’s soccer coach was accused of getting stinky on his hangdown with two of his players, according to ESPN.
The [players], a senior and a freshman, each had a sexual relationship with Tony DiTucci because of his “skilled manipulation and seduction,” lawyer Jennifer Salvatore said.
“They were young individuals who held the coach in high esteem,” she said in an interview. “He made them believe they were special and he was in love with them. Looking back on it, they wish they had handled it differently.” [...]
DeTucci was replaced in midseason by Tom Anagost, whose interim tag was removed after his team finished second in the MAC. As for the Mack Daddy, he said that players totally came onto him first. Banging your coach is great until you realize that you’re sharing a bunk with one of your teammates. Hey, coaches these days don’t have time for rebuilding seasons. You gotta win now.

Once again, there was no shortage of heartbreak, disappointment, and abject failure in the NFL, and as usual there’s no better place to celebrate all that than in the Monday Morning Suck-Off. The best of yesterday’s worst all took a careful look at their playoff chances or positioning and said, “You know what? Screw it.”
This is true of the Redskins, who erased the remnants of their playoff hopes with a 20-13 stinkbomb against the putrid Bengals, while the Giants failed to imrpove their dominant playoff position with a no-show against the quarrelsome Cowboys, New York’s second consecutive loss. The Titans had an opportunity to clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, but instead got shut out of the end zone in their 13-12 defeat at the hands of the Texans. Baltimore, playing at home for the chance to steal the AFC North crown, also failed to score a touchdown in a 13-9 loss to the Steelers in which the referees mercifully gave Pittsburgh a last-minute touchdown to prevent a dreary game from going into overtime at 9-9.

Virginia football coach Al Groh, fighting for his job after two 5-7 seasons in three years, fired his offensive coordinator/son Mike Groh and two other assistants this weekend. The younger Groh will presumably keep the latter title, unless he doesn’t RAKE THE GODDAM YARD LIKE HIS MOTHER ASKED.
Loved by most players and an easy target for the fan base, Mike Groh’s departure ends a three-year run that provided limited success. Over the past three seasons, the Cavaliers’ offense failed to crack the top 100 in total offense.
Oh, that’s not so bad. Just the bottom sixth of all D-1 football for three straight years. They were probably just having some GROH-ing pains. Huh? Huh? Anyone? Is this thing on?

The serenity of a youth football game was ruined by a coach who allegedly shoved an opposing player — also known as “an 11-year-old child” — in the facemask after the game ended.
Joe Deavenport says after a particularly contentious game, one of the other team’s coaches shoved the face-mask of his son, knocking him out of the reception line…
“There’s no question, it is assault,” Deavenport said… “This grown man approaches him and physically and forcefully pushes him, hits him in the head and my son had no idea why that was happening…”
NewsChannel 5 spoke to the coach viewed on the videotape… He says that action viewed on videotape was justified by some of the events that happened during the game.
I like that the coach feels justified. Some people get all defensive and apologetic after they violently shove a child. This guy isn’t gonna back down from some 11-year-old bully. You can watch the video here, but it’s a bitch to get to work. If you’re hankering for some adult-on-child violence, it may be easier to just head over to the playground and do it yourself.
We’ve got a couple moves in the “rash but probably deserved firing” department: Ned Yost is out as the Brewers’ manager, while Raiders coach Lane Kiffin is reportedly in the final throes of employment for Al Davis.
Yost guided Milwaukee to the brink of the postseason, but a 3-11 start to the month of September eroded the team’s 5½-game lead in the NL wild card race, and ownership apparently prefers the team’s chances with third-base coach Dale Sveum finishing the year in charge. My take: people named Ned are 700% more likely to be fired than non-Neds.
As for Kiffin, his troubles with the team are well-documented. Over the off-season, he refused to resign, while Davis didn’t want to fire him because he’d have to continue paying Kiffin. With Kiffin’s public statements last week about how he doesn’t control the defense, Davis’s mind was made up, according to Nancy Gay of the San Francisco Chronicle. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will take over the team, immediately returning some much-needed “white trash chic” to the team.
