Quintin Dailey RIP

Former Chicago Bull Quintin Dailey died last week at age 49. He was a talented player but a personal disaster, missing a bunch of games for drug violations and getting into other criminal trouble. The Bulls tolerated his issues until he started complaining about the attention Michael Jordan received, essentially ending his time in Chicago.

Quintin Dailey's defining moment in a Bulls uniform occurred in a 1985 game against the Spurs. During the game, he borrowed money from a reporter and sent a ballboy to the concession stand to get a slice of pizza. Dailey ate the pizza at the end of the bench and coach Kevin Loughery went nuts. The Bulls lost 106-98.

LOA ANIMAL SPOTLIGHT: FRILLED SHARK


Flaring the gills that give the species its name, a frilled shark swims at Japan's Awashima Marine Park on Sunday, January 21, 2007. Sightings of living frilled sharks are rare, because the fish generally remain thousands of feet beneath the water's surface due to constant ridicule from "normal" sharks about the Frilled Sharks' lack of a dorsal fin.

Spotted by a fisher on January 21, this 5.3-foot (160-centimeter) shark was transferred to the marine park, where it was placed in a seawater pool to slowly die a pathetic death in front of the hundreds of people that visit the marine park each day!

"We think this crazy ass fish may have come to the surface because it was sick, or else it was weakened because it was in shallow waters," a park official told the LOA news service. But the truth may never be known, since the "living fossil" died hours after it was caught. Mega bummer bro.
