* 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.

4. Prior to the game, Raoul’s office issued an Official Opinion that those who foul the AG could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

5. The AG looks like he’s done this once or twice.

6. “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?

7. Get that weak writ outtahere!

8. Traveling. You think this is the NBA?

9. 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.

10. I’m just very happy it wasn’t shirts v. skin.

11. The Globetrotters find a replacement for Curly Neal.

12. Looks like the Attorney General was running with a football. Was dribbling required or did they play with NBA rules?

13. Marcus: This… is gonna be painful.

    Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:21 am

14. House team forgot to update the “AG always wins” rule to its own detriment.

    Comment by Michelle Flaherty Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:25 am

15. Be like Barack.

18. –Marcus: This… is gonna be painful.–

    You better kiss your momma at the bus stop, because I’m taking you to school….

19. 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.

    Comment by wordslinger Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 10:52 am

20. The House plans on seeking charges because they were ‘robbed’.

    Comment by Jocko Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 11:06 am

21. ===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.

    Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 11:44 am

22. 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.

    Comment by Huh? Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:27 pm

23. If my shoe explodes, I know who to sue and how to sue them. And, it won’t be for a new pair.

    Comment by A guy Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:32 pm

24. anyone know the complete lineups for both sides?

    Comment by 10th Ward Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:46 pm

25. ==But, nobody was severely injured==

    No caption. Everything about this breezy sentiment made me laugh.

    Comment by lakeside Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 12:49 pm

26. Out of curiosity, how many women played? How many were invited?

    Comment by Annon Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 1:48 pm

27. House?…This is… my house.

    Comment by Dotnonymous Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 1:56 pm

28. I hope Steve Reick dunked on Dave McSweeney for talking all that trash!

    Comment by An American Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 2:17 pm

29. To A Guy…
    I think those shoes are Lebanon’s. That would be a tough lawsuit.

    Comment by Itsjustme Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 2:27 pm

30. @Wordslinger @Rich Miller did you ever see Napo play hoops back in the day? the kid had an amazing vertical leap. just stunning.

    Comment by Amalia Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 3:20 pm

31. This is my life’s work. And I’m just beginning….to Dink on you son!

    Comment by Goldie Thursday, May 2, 19 @ 4:38 pm

32. Goldie won.

    Amalia, I did not, but I don’t doubt you one bit. The man is a beast.
