Unbeleivable.

"I used to drink Hennessy ... at halftime," Artest said in an interview with the Sporting News, which is publishing the story in its Dec. 7 issue. "I [kept it] in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store and get it."

"I'd just walk to the liquor store and get it."

I like that they included that. I read the first part and thought to myself 'how'd he ever manage to get his hands on a bottle of Hennessy?' and then wham!! They hit you with the revelation that he walked to the liquor store. Good stuff.

I wonder if Hennessey is to blame for his friend getting stabbed through the heart with a table leg and dying on the court during a heated pickup game.

Whew. That's not too bad. For a second there, I thought he did something serious like update his Twitter feed during a basketball game.

He was probably under the influence when he got his haircuts too.

What makes this any worse than Kiprusoff having smokes between periods?

Cause he'd be half cut for the second half. Although maybe he just had a sip...and if he parties as much as he says he does, then maybe it wouldn't affect him. I guess it'd depend on the amount...how do you know he wasn't playing half liquored by the 3rd quarter?

Don't forget doing rails off the crossbar during TV timeouts.

I'm willing to bet that if he needs to drink Hennessy at half time, he's probably not just taking a sip or a shot. He's most likely an alcoholic and taking a few good chugs out of the bottle

Well Kipp would have to leave the saddledome and go to the designated kill-yourself-area to take a drag. Artest could just stay in his locker.

Hmmm I'm pretty sure Grant Fuhr had cartons of nasal spray in his locker. Sinuses you know.

Didn't the Red Sox talk about doing shots of Jack before games during their '04 run? Who cares.
