Darnell Dockett Is Apparently Live-Tweeting Jury Duty [Update]
Update, 5:30 p.m.: It's come to our attention that the photo of a courtroom that Dockett tweeted is actually an old photo, from a 2013 trial in Washington State. So it's entirely possible that he's making this whole thing up. Our original post on Dockett's tweets is below....
Goose Island BCBS: Trophy Beer That's Worth The Chase
A couple of weeks ago, one of my old day-drunk buddies brought another of our kind into the bar. That was notable, because we don't get a lot of new blood, not even the kind of new blood that is basically the same old blood wrapped up in a different bag of scum and bones....

Cherokee Chief Apologizes For Dan Snyder Alliance
Dan Snyder had a lousy Native American Heritage Month. His team went 0-for-November, bottoming out in Indianapolis with RGIII on the bench and the owner's pet's career in worse shape than his left and right menisci. Plus there was that brutal New Yorker cover and a gloriously oblivious "Happy Thanks...

Blackhawks forward and noted shit-stirrer Daniel Carcillo didn't appreciate Brayden McNabb's forearm in his face in last night's game, so he fought McNabb, and "won." Carcillo, a former King, then waved like a pageant queen to the Los Angeles crowd as he exited the ice. How polite!...
