Year End Special

ESPN.com's Page 2 has done an obscenely long two parter on all of the absurd moments from the sports world in 2006, in which we learn all sorts of arcane, idiotic stuff, such as:

An Indian runner who won an Asian Games silver medal in the women's 800 meters failed a gender test.

and

A former Marshall University cheerleader sued for sexual harassment, claiming that the squad's cheers had sexual code names, that a female coach encouraged cheerleaders to act in a sexually provocative manner at a golf team fundraiser and that a male cheerleader rubbed his scrotum on her face.

The lawsuit claims that when the cheerleader refused to go along with the sexual hijinks, she was put on probation for "not being personable."

and

A Nebraska youth football coach was charged with 96 counts of possession of child pornography after handing out football camp flyers that had been printed out on child porn he had been looking at while drunk.
