The best thing I can say about that picture is the dude is dead and buried in Holy Sepulcher cemetery. Not to far from my parents.

Don’t you mean “ble$$ed”.

I blame WGN. When it became a superstation with the Cubs (like TBS and the Atlanta Braves) and the Sox made do with a shitty UHF signal on WFLD, the dye was cast.

Michigan should have lost that game. Illinois’ Chris White (Mike White’s son) clanked a winning field goal off the upright at the end of regulation. No overtime in those days. Never saw a more dejected crowd filing out of a game.

I saw a Hawk nail one in our back yard the other day. The only thing left behind was blue feathers.

Just an example of the hypocrisy of the NCAA. Other schools forced to drop their native american imagery, but not FSU, because with the NCAA it’s all about the Benjamins.

Living in Champaign IL, I’ve already been down this rabbit hole with Chief Illiniwek. I think the revised black hawk logo for the Blackhawks is a 100% winner.

I like the fact that Blackhawks games start with the National Anthem, and in addition to active and retired military being recognized, a Native American is also present during the National Anthem.

How long before this carrier gets the nickname “Edsel”?

I see what you did there.

The paucity of JFK assassination mentions would seem to suggest the reader demographics for Deadspin don’t reach that far back. I remember the nuns telling us to put our heads on our desks and start praying because they had just killed the first Catholic president.

Best comment of the entire thread.

We used to think Bickell was a monster in the playoffs.

The Jeff Carter slash was retaliation for Carter hacking down on Keith’s bare hand as he tried to pickup his glove. Dirty play begets dirty response. Not comparable in my opinion.
