BadJocks.com is a website that covers sports-related misconduct and crime at all levels, from professional to children's, by not only the athletes themselves but coaches and spectators as well. Creator and content provider Bob Reno has since 2000 written daily items on not only well-covered events such as the rape charges against three Duke lacrosse players and the Minnesota Vikings "love boat" scandal but less-reported local events as well, with video clips sometimes included. While the site's news and audience are primarily U.S.-based, foreign news, particularly soccer-related, has been covered as well. He bills the site as "Where COPS Meets SportsCenter". In 2008 Time chose the site as one of 25 in its first annual blog index, and in 2009 Sports Illustrated named the site one of the decade's five most influential blogs.
Generally, the site's tone is light-hearted, featuring Reno's acerbic commentary on the various occurrences culled from other media. Reno keeps an annual tally of several types of stories that occur on frequent basis each year, with three (" drunken outbursts", "naughty cheerleaders" and " streakers and naked people" at the moment) typifying much of the content. However, the fourth, high school coach sex scandals, have been treated more and more seriously by Reno as many involve relations between adults and students, and he was taken aback when these numbers regularly approached 200 each year, so much that he stopped keeping count in 2007. He has sometimes posted commentary and analysis of the phenomenon, with input from readers. He followed the Pamela Rogers Turner case closely since she was a gym teacher, and also the Debra Lafave case, which like non-athletics-related scandals he had devoted considerable space to on BadJocks's sister site, DumbAssDaily.com. In the former, Reno posted a cell-phone cam video of Rogers dancing provocatively, one of several attempts to contact her victim that had gotten her parole revoked, as well as her MySpace, which officials there had taken down.
