This is Sloan from Entourage. Great stems. The show starts up again soon, which is a good thing, because since The OC went off the air, our TV viewing has been trimmed considerably. Adding to our nightly trauma – What about Brian, a vastly underrated show about mid-20s angst, had its season finale Monday. We […]

Happy Valentine’s Day, mom! I’m a dirty mess in college when you’re not around! Hazing rules. As long as nobody we know is involved. Lots more pictures on […]

It’s late. It’s Monday. It’s Peter King time.
Time for the chubby wordsmith to wow you with his insight, and dazzle you with his insider information. And, if you’re lucky, the most popular Sports Illustrated writer – well, this side of Brigid Mullen - may induce vomiting while polishing the knob of Brett Favre.

Is it finally safe to go back in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?
Criminal proceedings have long-since ended for the Minnesota Vikings players who were fingered in the party boat bacchanal that captivated the nation in the winter of 2005, but the final nail was hammered into the coffin this week by the boat operators who […]

Ever wonder if Albert Pujols […]

Badjocks has done it again. As promised, the blog has posted scores of hazing photos from various schools around the country. It’s a hoot, really, and it’ll be making the news very, very soon.
There’s a lot here to sift through, but we’ve boiled down our favorites, for your viewing pleasure.

Let’s Post Hazing Pictures

Posted by TheBigLead on May 16th, 2006

It’s what every blogger aspires to do: Break a national news story. Kudos to the brilliant minds at Badjocks, who earned mention in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and USA Today after unearthing photos of the Northwestern girls soccer team hazing the shit out of freshmen.
The Times went straight newsy, but […]
