The Neepawa Natives are a Junior A team from Manitoba, and they have a very unique way of welcoming rookies to the squad. The CBC had a pair of whistleblowing parents on yesterday (in silhouette, because the MJHL is serious business), and they spilled the beans on a frank-and-beans-heavy tradition. More »

Forcing rookies to dress in costume is an MLB tradition that's as childish as it is time-honored. A gloriously dumb reminder that most baseball players are manchildren, forever stuck in high school. We are too; it's a major reason baseball players are perhaps easier to connect with than athletes in any other sport. More »

Scene: waning springtime in the Seattle metro area. Local cheerleaders, presumably led by Parker Posey, now up to no good with the school year coming to an end, their youth and beauty fading. Their tools: diapers and hot dogs. More »

Our dick-headed friend is Jaguars rookie Kevin Haslam, after a run-in with Uche Nwaneri and his clippers. This never would have happened if they had drafted Tebow. [Twitpic|h/t Jovan J.] More »

Four former members of Carmel High's varsity basketball team were indicted by a grand jury and will face misdemeanor battery charges for two incidents in which they hazed and/or sodomized school mates. This is definitely going in their permanent files. More »

A longtime North Carolina high school coach is accused of, well, basically torturing some of his students after inviting them over to "lift weights." Seriously, this is Jame Gumb shit right here. More »

Carmel High School's basketball Senior Day was ruined—ruined!—by shameless tabloid reporters snooping around in the stands for salacious gossip. Oh, and the fact that three of the four seniors were kicked off the team for alleged forceable sodomy. More »

As per tradition, rookie Larry English took the team out to dinner — to the tune of $14,508.67. The real question is, which poof ordered the raspberry sorbet? [Shaun Phillips' Twitter, via Shutdown Corner] More »

Here's a screen grab from a Feb. 19 article on MSNBC Chicago on a hazing incident involving the Deerfield High School swim team. Um, girls, you're doing it wrong. More »

The University of Wisconsin marching band has been suspended amid rumors of hazing, alcohol abuse and sexual misconduct. That's right. The whole band. What kind of "sexual misconduct" gets an entire band suspended? I don't know but I was in the marching band and I can assure you, band geeks are freaky people. More »

It's good to see that NFL hazing will never die. At least not until someone tears an ACL or suffocates while taped to a goal post. The Titans held their annual dizzy bat race for the healthy players. But they reserved their true scorn for the players who were too injured to participate in the dizzy bat race. Namely, Lavelle Hawkins and Cary Williams. Protest was futile. More »

I hate to be the guy that laughs every time some poor high school kid gets violated by some other kid or group of kids that think, "Hey, if I could stick something in this kid's ass, why, that would just be fantastic!" Where's the logic? It's not that these things are suddenly happening out of nowhere, it's that we're finally hearing about them. All of them. But I'm telling you something you already know. More »

At least no one's mom killed anyone this time. Instead the lovely lasses of Morton Ranch High School are being investigated for, among other things, binding new cheerleaders and throwing them into the pool. Take it away anonymous cheer critic, "Once you duct tape someone's hands, blindfold them throw them in a pool, start flicking their body parts, that's way too far," she said. The Department of Justice disagrees. There are more details from ABC-13's investigation. More »

When it comes to accusations of boys being forced to wear lingerie and drink hard liquor, I could really go either way. If it's Michael Jackson doing it, then sure, there could be some cause for concern. When it's being done voluntarily by high school baseball players... I'm probably OK with it. More »

OK, what does this picture say to you, other than "They should really think about having those big whiteheads removed, or popped, or something?" Does this look like some debacherous, out-of-control, dangerous exercise? A way to maliciously prey on unsuspecting freshmen who don't understand the horrors of their surroundings? More »
