What's the Capital of Thailand?

We have a new candidate for worst person in the world. A Colorado high school basketball coach is facing 39 ... 39! counts of assaults on 14-17 year olds of abuse
A former charter school boys basketball coach is accused of regularly hitting players in the groin, exposing some to pornography, and pouring water on them in cold weather, according to court records.
And just when you thought the old Thailand joke had faded ...
A student said Burr would ask them, “What is the capital of Thailand?” When they would answer “Bangkok,” he would hit them in the groin.
It gets worse ...
One student sought medical attention for a groin injury he attributed to the coach’s strikes and later had scrotal surgery. Other students told police the strikes to the testicles were “the kind of hits that made you lay down” or “made you stop for a minute to catch your breath.”
Bobby Knight, you look like a saint today.

Hockey player misses empty net & falls down, allowing game-tying goal with 2 seconds left


In last night's hockey game between Edmonton & Dallas, Dallas was up by a goal as time was winding down. The Stars' Patrick Stefan was skating toward a wide open net after the goalie had been pulled. And then... well, just watch.

Terrible, terrible play. For him. For us, it's just a good laugh.

Anyway, Dallas ended up winning in a shootout, so the mistake didn't hurt them in the standings, though it did allow the Oilers to steal a point.
