There's no doubt that Cook County commissioner Mike Quigley is a Blackhawks fan. There's less doubt that he can't stand the Red Wings. According the Chicago Sun-Times, Quigley drafted a resolution to declare Jan. 1 "Chicago Blackhawks Day," he put the term "DETROIT SUCKS" at the end of the resolution. Quigley also declared Wrigley Field to be an octopus-free zone on Jan. 1 when the Wings and Blackhawks play in the Winter Classic. "The good thing about being a Blackhawks fan,'' Quigley said, ''is you don't have to live in Detroit."

Oh my God. I read this story at least a week ago, T&R is really scraping the barrel now.

I believe the average Chicagoan responded by saying, "What? The Blackhawks are still around?"

Come on Oilersguy...Maybe you should give T&R some credit for looking for things that are not about the "Egghead". Perhaps they have gotten the message...This is a great story....still LMAO.
Spiny is going to have to love this.

No, I think the average Chicagoan like myself said- "yeah, I agree with him that I'm glad I don't live in Detroit!!!"

This just deserves another post...LMAO still.

Wh is this man Quigley to steal my closing? methinks he may be a T&R devotee perhaps?
Anyway, this is all just posturing for his electorate. I hope someone throws one of those Giant Squids on the ice, them make this guy clean up 25' of calamari.

I thought this was hilarious. better than the Isles coaches or Sundin

July 28, 2008  10:14 AM ET

this is becoming more "old news central" than truth and rumors...how is this even anywhere related to sports more than the business?

We're still not sure whether Foppa's playing this season or not... he's got problems with his ankle.

The Red Wings we know and the Blackhawaks we know but, who in the h*e*l*l is Mike Quigley?

This idiot ought to be quite and with his tail tucked between his legs until the Blackhawks win something first!

Is he taking suggestions?

 
July 28, 2008  11:06 AM ET

He likes one that I called him earlier...but its up to him to premier it so I won't spoil his coming out party.

I did however have a suggestion for BGMwannabe that I don't mind sharing...
