The D-List: March Week 5

The Hutaree Militia - Nine members of a fringe Christian militia group (the group’s web site states that Hutaree means “Christian warrior”) based in Michigan. The group has been indicted on 5 counts including attempted use of weapons of mass destruction. Their plan was to murder a police officer, then attack the funeral party with explosives and other weapns. Again, according to the group’s web site, they are “Preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive”. No one was injured (at least in regards to this plan).

The Catholic Church - This priest thing is getting completely inexcusable. Further, allegations are being reported of the Pope’s knowledge and involvement in some of these cases prior to his becoming Pope. I’m not going to go into this any further, but what a bunch of soul-less D-cases.

Santonio Holmes - for hitting a woman in the face with a glass full of liquor, cutting her near the right eye, at an Orlando nightclub earlier this month. Holmes allegedly then offered to pay her so she would not press charges, she currently wants $15,000 in damages. In the lawsuit against Holmes the woman said she was intimidated into not pressing charges.

Urban Meyer - For lashing out at Orlando Sentinel sports reporter Jeremy Fowler and threatened to ban the Sentinel entirely from all things Florida football for his reports regarding Florida WR Deonte Thompson’s comments about former Gator QB Tim Tebow and the current QB for the Gators. Thompson stated that ``You never know with Tim…he can bolt. You'll think he's running, but then he'll just come up and pass it to you. You just have to be ready at all times. With Brantley, everything's with rhythm, time. Like, you know what I mean, a real quarterback.” Fowler simply reported this and blogged about it, needless to say Urban over-reacted a little bit and even went as far to Fowler: ``You're a bad guy, man. You're a bad guy, if that was my son, we'd be going at it right now.''

The artist who painted this mural of Jonathan Toews - See the article for a picture, but to sum things up, Jonathan Toews is the captain of the Chicago Blackhawks (NHL) and the mural is in Chicago above the freeway there. It's D-Case worthy for the insanely hilarious nose the artist gave Toews. Secondarily, it's also stupid because he's pictured with the Stanley Cup despite the fact that the Blackhawks haven't won the cup and haven't played in the NHL finals for quite some time.

Pontius Pilate / Judas - D-Cases, the end.

Derrek Lee - because, according to manager Lou Piniella, Lee had just sat down for some pregame chow on Wednesday when the clubhouse chair beneath him decided to call it quits. The Cubs first baseman dusted himself off for an appearance in an exhibition game against the Rangers, but he left early to receive treatment for his 34-year-old back.
