Most sports fans can agree on very little, but one general point of consensus among them: Of all the different types of athletes in the world, mixed martial artists and hockey players are probably the last two you’d ever want to mess with.
(And that’s because they’re all crazy, in the least pejorative way possible.)
Now, in fairness to the seven alleged assailants in this story, they all appeared heavily intoxicated and may not have realized who they had just picked a fight with.
But that didn’t make their decision any less harrowing — as evidenced by subsequent mug shots that have popped up.
To wit, former Arizona Coyotes player-turned-NHL analyst Paul Bissonnette found himself in some unwanted spotlight recently when an otherwise innocuous dinner outing turned into anything but.
According to NBC News, Bissonnette was having dinner Sunday night at a Scottsdale, Arizona, steakhouse (Houston’s) when he noticed “a bit of a ruckus” brewing at the bar.
“It was a bunch of drunk golfers,” Bissonnette revealed in a Monday X post. “Things obviously continued to escalate.”
Bissonnette added: “They asked one guy to leave, and then one guy kept getting in the manager’s face, put his hands on him, and that went on for about probably 30, 45 seconds. And you could tell [the manager] was a little shocked and surprised and stunned.”
