Prankster Ribery wants more fun at Bayern

The Frenchman Franck Ribery, a winger for the Bayern Munich, wants to bring the fun and games back to training after several months of rigorous, regimented work under Louis van Gaal. He has a reputation for being a joker in the dressing room and regularly performed hilarious jokes on his team-mates and even former coaches Ottmar Hitzfeld and Jurgen Klinsmann during his first two years with the club.

Ribery may be planning to lighten up his coach, although he admits that the more serious approach to training is also working. However, since Ribery does not believe Van Gaal would see the funny side to any shocking pranks ideas, he has so far kept his head down and followed orders.

Ribery could be fit to make his first start of the season this weekend after recovering from a calf strain picked up while on international duty for France. He was able to train fully on Tuesday and could appear for France in their crucial World Cup qualifier against Serbia tonight, giving him more match fitness to enable Van Gaal to pick him with Arjen Robben in his first-choice team on Saturday.

Jet's Sanchez psyched to face former USC roommate

The Jets' starting quarterback rookie Mark Sanchez, the fifth overall pick of this year's NFL draft, is very excited and can't wait for the 2009 NFL season to officially begin. He is about to get a true educational experience since the defensive schemes and the speed of the game would ramped up more than just a notch compared to the preseason games on Sunday when they face the Houston Texans in Texas.

Sanchez first NFL game would give him captivating flashbacks, facing a fellow rookie and former USC college teammate, Brian Cushing, the Texans' strong side linebacker. Both rookies were roommates for about 21/2 years at Southern California. They grew pretty close and had their share of college yucks, pulling the kind of shocking pranks that stay in the memory banks forever.

According to Sanchez, Brian Cushing always had something going on in the house or something funny to say about practice or class. He used to have a snake in their apartment and when people would come over and fall asleep at their house. They would put the snake on their guests to see how scared they got which they taught was a pretty funny pranks idea.

At USC, Sanchez and Cushing saw players constantly come and go, and they were two of the mainstays, considered the vocal leaders of the offense and defense. When players needed a pep talk, they didn't mind firing their teammates up. Although the two have had hundreds of laughs together, there won't be anything comical if Cushing comes flying around the end and plants Sanchez on his backside. If that does happen, it's a sure bet that Cushing will do a little trash talking.

Daniel Radcliffe claims he is done partying and pulling pranks

The 20-year-old star Daniel Radcliffe claims he is too old for partying. In the past he used to play a lot of stupid stuff pranks and get involved with drinking or partying with the cast. Now, he no longer socializes with the rest of the ‘Harry Potter’ cast and crew because he wants to carve out a career as a respected, matured and serious actor.

He also blasted stars who are only interested in fame, insisting he hates the celebrity culture where people are celebrities as a by-product of what they do. He couldn’t care less about people reading every little thing about Peter Andre and Jordan. He said they don’t want to work, have no interests, no passions, nothing and yet they seem to be held up on pedestals. It does annoy him but can't do anything about it since his part of it.

Daniel’s serious attitude appears to be in contrast to his ‘Harry Potter’ co-star Rupert Grint. Rupert has been spotted at several UK music festivals this summer and makes no secret of his love of wild nights out. He recently said that when he's drunk, he likes to cause mischief. He steal props like the broomsticks from the 'Harry Potter' set and bring them out to the pub for comedy value. It seems funny at the time, trouble is he usually gets too trashed to remember what happened the next day.

AHS students face discipline for prank racist remarks

A number of Anderson High students face discipline for a racial incident. The episode unfolded in the AHS parking lot as students were leaving school Thursday. A couple of students made inappropriate remarks of intentional inflammatory racial remarks shouting “white power”. At least one of them covered his head with a sheet fashioned like a Ku Klux Klan hood according to the Anderson Community Schools officials.

Based from the information received by school officials investigating the incident, the actions appeared to have resulted from a student dare. Some students knew that the racially charged incident was planned, though it’s unclear how many was involved. Anderson High School principal Pat Fassnacht said school officials have been contacting parents of students who were involved or who might have provoked the incident. He said a number of parents have been notified, though he declined to say how many.

On Friday morning, AHS increased police presence and metal detectors at the entrance. Reaction of the other Anderson students were credited by the principal since they took the incident as more of surprise and disbelief rather than get angry with the tightened security. The silly stupid stuff pranks ideas that turned into a serious prank will result in punishment ranging from suspension to possible expulsion according to ACS interim Superintendent Lennon Brown.
