Also gently caress the Chicago Blackhawks, they don’t deserve anything good.

It was reported last night they made more money in season ticket sales in the 90 minutes after they won the lottery ($2.5 million) than they were fined for their whole sexual abuse coverup ($2 million).

Bleh.

The Chicago AM1000 (local sports) is a poverty station that has been banging the drums for the Hawks for a while. When Bobby Hull died they did a 3 hour 100% non critical talk circuit about him. Bobby fuckin Hull. The sex abuse is another angle of the same poo poo sandwich.

The sex abuse alone is reason enough to hate the Blackhawks. The rest of the poo poo they regularly engage in is not considerably better.

I’m super scared cause I have native onions all over my yard in SoCal, but there’s a copycat that is super poisonous, same looking leaves and all

Death Camas look similar but you can tell them apart pretty easily if you just learn what the differences are. The easiest one is that onions smell like onions, and death camas don't, at all. It also tastes bitter, doesn't have the brown wrap around the bulb, and has different flowers, but the smell thing is an easy one to rely on... just only eat onions that smell like onions.

Multiple NHL teams did lesser things and got their 1st round picks stripped, yet sexually abusing one of their own players and covering it up is a nothingburger according to the league.

After Chicago got announced, the ESPN talking heads were saying how he gets to play for a great sports city, and that it's great for the sport that he gets to be with a team with such a storied history, etc. and it's so loving gross.

FBI aren't saying why and wouldn't share the warrant with the Tampa Bay Times, so it's up in the air.

This feels weirdly targeted, if Tim Burke is talking to the press afterwards it means they didn't find anything arrest worthy.

ESPN also hosed up the lottery show and announced Columbus had fallen to the 3rd pick before going to commercial, when the card was actually shown after they came back. People in the NHL thread were already seeing what was coming.

The really funny part is the reason he brought it up this time (apparently this has bugged him for quite a while) is the inciting incident was a cop getting killed. He was fine silently stewing for everything else, including when two kids from the high school across the street died in a car accident earlier this year, but now that we've crossed the line into cop disrespect it is TOO FAR.
