* Attorney General Kwame Raoul (a former state Senator) takes it to the lane during this week’s House vs. Senate basketball game…

The Senate barely won a low-scoring game, despite having a significant height advantage (Treasurer Michael Frerichs also played). But, nobody was severely injured and money was raised for charity, so it was a good night.

My knees will be killing me. - A guy - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:01 am: Dr.K - wordslinger - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:01 am: Prior to the game, Raoul’s office issued an Official Opinion that those who foul the AG could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice. - Stones - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:04 am: The AG looks like he’s done this once or twice. - 47th Ward - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:06 am: “My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.” Anybody else see the Charles Barkley resemblance here? - lake county democrat - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:08 am: Get that weak writ outtahere! - Bogey Golfer - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:09 am: Traveling. You think this is the NBA? - Henry Francis - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:10 am: The House team clearly was missing retired Rep. Currie’s rim protection. Raoul never took it to the hole in prior years when she was in the game. (Who is the cherry-picker in the background?) - 47th Ward - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:12 am: I’m just very happy it wasn’t shirts v. skin. - A Jack - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:18 am: The Globetrotters find a replacement for Curly Neal. - Michael Westen - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:20 am: Looks like the Attorney General was running with a football. Was dribbling required or did they play with NBA rules? - Rich Miller - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:21 am: Marcus: This… is gonna be painful. - Michelle Flaherty - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:25 am: House team forgot to update the “AG always wins” rule to its own detriment. - Amalia - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:35 am: Be like Barack. - A guy - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:35 am: Jumpin’ through hoops - Iggy - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:41 am: this is like when the freshman in college visits his old highschool on thanksgiving break. give it a rest dude. - wordslinger - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:47 am: –Marcus: This… is gonna be painful.– You better kiss your momma at the bus stop, because I’m taking you to school…. - wordslinger - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:52 am: I’m guessing Napoleon Harris parted the paint like Moses did the Red Sea when he drove to the hoop. Can’t imagine anyone taking that charge. - Jocko - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 11:06 am: The House plans on seeking charges because they were ‘robbed’. - Rich Miller - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 11:44 am: ===Can’t imagine anyone taking that charge. === I said something sarcastic to Napo once and he jokingly half-checked me against a wall. Thought I was gonna die. - Huh? - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:27 pm: Frerichs played in the game, while being tall was supposed to be an advantage, he wasn’t much help. He fit the basketball stereotype that white guys can’t jump, they have stone hands and only get in the way. - A guy - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:32 pm: If my shoe explodes, I know who to sue and how to sue them. And, it won’t be for a new pair. - 10th Ward - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:46 pm: anyone know the complete lineups for both sides? - lakeside - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:49 pm: ==But, nobody was severely injured== No caption. Everything about this breezy sentiment made me laugh. - Annon - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 1:48 pm: Out of curiosity, how many women played? How many were invited? - Dotnonymous - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 1:56 pm: House?…This is… my house. - An American - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 2:17 pm: I hope Steve Reick dunked on Dave McSweeney for talking all that trash! - Itsjustme - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 2:27 pm: To A Guy… I think those shoes are Lebanon’s. That would be a tough lawsuit. - Amalia - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 3:20 pm: @Wordslinger @Rich Miller did you ever see Napo play hoops back in the day? the kid had an amazing vertical leap. just stunning. - Goldie - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 4:38 pm: This is my life’s work. And I’m just beginning….to Dink on you son! - Rich Miller - Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 4:47 pm: Goldie won. Amalia, I did not, but I don’t doubt you one bit. The man is a beast.
