Happy Hour: SEC Championship Style (AKA: Busch Beer for all!!!)

Alabama fans will come prepared...Realtree and all.

Why SEC Championship Style? Because it’s a game not getting enough hype this weekend. Tickets are going for around $400 a piece for upper bowl seats. Hotels are booked solid. And Centennial Park has become the biggest trailer park in the United States (Thanks to our friends from Ala-freaking-Bama). It’s gonna be a fun one, and the closest thing you’ll see to a playoff this decade.

The Morning After: December 3, 2008

Plaxico Burress is set to lose roughly $825000 by being suspended for the rest of the year. This figure could go up as he was slated to earn a another piece of his signing bonus in the amount of $1M on December 10. All of this because he felt the need to carry a gun to protect himself. 

My first thought was…”Why didn’t he just get a concealed weapon permit?” So I looked up what it would take to get the permit…only to find it is virtually impossible to do so in New York City…this of course is unless “you can show that your life is in danger and that having a gun will protect you, or will improve your chances of surviving.” Those are the words of Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a 2006 NY Post Article. This is the same Bloomberg who wants the book thrown at Burress.

So tell me…are Robert DiNero, Harvey Keitel, Howard Stern, Don Imus, and Donald Trump in some kind of danger…these are a few of those allowed to pack heat in NYC according to the NY Post article…So would a famous athlete qualify for a gun permit?
