Yikes, these are some heavy-duty boneheads. After a game on October 14, Coastal Carolina freshmen football players Rickey Johnson, Mario Tynes and Eric Brown Jr. had their car pulled over by police.

Texas Tech football coach Leach falls off bike, breaks arm

Backup punter stabs rival in attempt to become starter

This one’s pretty sick, and definitely boneheaded.  Mitch Cozad was a backup punter for Northern Colorado.  Apparently he wasn’t happy with his status — he wanted to be the starter.  So in a Tonya Harding-like incident on September 11 of last  year, Cozad ambushed the starting punter, Rafael Mendoza, in the parking lot.  Cozad stabbed [...]
