What the hell was this guy thinking? Baylor offensive line coach Eric Schnupp was suspended indefinitely for urinating on the bar at a local tavern. He later resigned.

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.

Florida safety Tony Joiner was arrested Tuesday on a burglary charge, and you bet — it’s a boneheaded one. Joiner must be really loyal to his girlfriend, because he broke into the impound lot where her car was being stowed pending a towing bill. Joiner tried to drive the car out, but a [...]
