Here is big Dustin Byfuglien hoisting the Stanley Cup on what is probably his parents front lawn in Roseau, MN. Now the question that begs to be asked is: why is he wearing a Thrashers jersey whilst holding THE trophy of trophies in all of professional sporting lore?
Is he trying to be funny? Is he mocking the city of Atlanta by teasing us with visions of splendor that probably will not come to fruition in the immediate near future? Perhaps he is just afraid of the potential fall-out from twittering fans in Atlanta who might be offended if he were to don a Blackhawks jersey this late into the off-season? Or is he really sending a message to his new team's fans about how serious he is about bringing this big-ass chalice back to A-town? Or does Big Buff simply like how the cobalt blue compliments his complexion?My guess is that he is publicly, and purposefully, serving notice to Atlanta-based rap-star Lil' Jon that his big-ass chalice of crunkitude is nothing in comparison to Lord Stanley's big-ass chalice, from which Byfuglien plans to be drinking again in late July or early August of 2011. Fine by me. Bring it home Big Buff!! And welcome to the ATL.
Oh yeah, don't forget to pick up your very own "crunk cup" for our season of destiny's run to the big-ass Cup!! Replace your 24 ounce domestic from Gorin's with a large cup of crizz-unk!!
Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!! What?! Okay.

I think it's a "F-U" to the Blackhawks organization for trading him.
Brent Sopel wore his Blackhawks jersey in the Canadian Rockies when he had his day with the Cup. I think Big Buff may be a little bitter.
Or maybe he's just totally bought into being an Atlanta Thrasher now.
"Chalice of crunkitude" earns you 20 golden doubloons.
Also: this whole incident is one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
Isn't the chalice of crunkitude what the Goonies were looking for on One-Eyed Willie's sunken ship?
BTW, doesn't Willie O'Ree have only one eye? Or is he just blind in one eye? We need a Willie on the team to round out the lineup...the final missing piece.
As long as it's not filled with "sizzurp".
