Chicago Blackhawks fans get revenge by standing on Justin Bieber’s face

July 31, 2013 By Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment

Justin Bieber infuriated thousands of Chicago Blackhawks fans earlier this month while taking pictures of the Stanley Cup before a show at the United Center. Bieber stood on the Blackhawks team logo in their locker room, which is a big no-no and a sign of disrespect in the NHL. The general consensus is that the Canadian-born Bieber should have known that.

Over the weekend, a group of outraged Blackhawks fans took revenge into their own hands at the team’s annual fan convention. Chris Wilkerson, Mark Wegener and Josh Kaye came up with the idea of starting a Twitter account called @StandOnBieber and bringing a giant cutout of Bieber’s face to the convention. You can probably guess what’s coming next.

Boston Bruins didn’t rope off their logo to protect it from Justin Bieber

July 22, 2013 By Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment

As it turns out, the Boston Bruins did not execute one of the funniest sports jokes of the year before Justin Bieber performed at the TD Garden on Saturday night. Like several other sites, we were tricked by a photoshop job that made it look like the Bruins roped off their locker room logo so Bieber wouldn’t step on it like he did with the Chicago Blackhawks’ logo earlier this month.

A reader named Derek pointed out to us that the photo was taken by a fan during some sort of locker room tour in 2012. Apparently the Bruins wanted to stop fans from stepping on the logo then, but Bieber never even made his way into their locker room on Saturday. Here is the original photo, which was obviously cropped:

Boston Bruins rope off locker room logo to prepare for Justin Bieber concert

July 20, 2013 By Steve DelVecchio 8 Comments

Justin Bieber created a stir last week when he visited the United Center and stood on the Chicago Blackhawks logo in the team’s locker room. Bieber is from Canada, so many hockey fans felt he should know that stepping on the team logo is bad luck and considered disrespectful. He insisted it was an innocent mistake.

On Saturday night, Biebs is performing at the TD Garden in Boston. Having learned from the situation in Chicago, the Boston Bruins decided to take no chances and rope off the logo in their locker room so Bieber knows not to walk on it.

Bruins — 1, Bieber — 0.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, this turned out to be a hoax. The Bruins did not rope off their logo and Bieber did not go into their locker room. The photo above is a cropped version of a photo taken last year.

Justin Bieber meets the Stanley Cup

July 10, 2013 By Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment

Justin Bieber played a show at the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday night, so naturally he was given an opportunity to pose with the Stanley Cup. Bieber was born in Ontario, Canada, so I’m sure he appreciates the importance of hockey. Despite that, his photo with the Stanley Cup was enough to make sports analyst Michelle Beadle want to lose her lunch.

I don’t know if I feel that strongly about it, but Beadle wasn’t the only one who was annoyed with Bieber’s presence in Chicago this week. According to Minnesota Wild forward Zenon Kenopka, Biebs was also affecting the NHLPA meetings thanks to his insane fan base.

Bieber is moving on to Indiana on Wednesday night, and it sounds like the only ones who are sad to see him go are the Beliebers.

Zenon Konopka frustrated by Justin Bieber fans outside NHLPA meetings

July 9, 2013 By Steve DelVecchio 3 Comments

The NHL Players Association is holding its annual meetings in Chicago this week, and we all know how that goes. We’re talking about a league that has had four lockouts since 1992, so people are always curious about how discussions are going when it comes to offseason meetings. However, the NHL is not the biggest story in Chicago at the moment.

Justin Bieber is playing a show at the United Center on Tuesday night. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Bieber’s fan base, it consists of teenage girls who cry at the site of him and collect his toenails and things of that nature. According to Minnesota Wild forward Zenon Konopka, the Bieber fanatics were causing a disturbance at the NHLPA meetings on Monday.

@justinbieber I'm a fan of you being Canadian &even ur music but ur killing our NHLPA meetings with ur fan club screaming outside the hotel

— Zenon Konopka (@ZenonKonopka) July 9, 2013

Uh oh. The last thing these guys need is a distraction. I think I speak for all NHL fans when I say I can’t wait for Bieber to get the hell out of town. Where’s former NFL running back Eric Dickerson when you need him?

Justin Bieber reportedly refused to be photographed until Heat dancer came over

June 6, 2013 By Steve DelVecchio 1 Comment

As most of you have probably heard, Justin Bieber was in Miami for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and Indiana Pacers on Monday night. He was absolutely killing it with the outfit he was wearing, and from the sound of it Biebs’ attitude matched the leather shirt he was wearing.

On Thursday, the Miami Herald published a story about a 17-year-old girl who had been sitting next to Bieber during the game. She was not associated with him in any way, but that didn’t stop tabloids and gossip shows from speculating that she was the pop star’s date. The young lady, Haleigh Youtie, also gave this interesting tidbit about Bieber.

Before the Heat game was even over, Youtie, who did post on her social media accounts that Bieber, who refused to be photographed until someone brought a Miami Heat dancer over, wasn’t the friendliest, she was getting threats from rabid fans and, says her mother Eileen, ‘more friend requests than you can count.’”

What does that even mean? The team had to bribe him with a pretty girl just to be able to show the world that he was in attendance? Sounds like someone needs to get a grip of himself before Keyshawn Johnson does.

Justin Bieber balling hard with Miami Heat hat, glossy lips at Game 7

June 3, 2013 By Larry Brown 3 Comments

You see that staring back at you? That is the look of a thug. That is thugged out Justin Bieber in his gold chain, black leather shirt, black sunglasses (indoors) ready to throw brass knucks as soon as you say drop. Hard to the freaking core.

Gotta love the tie-dye Miami Heat hat, too. You think Keyshawn Johnson can stand up to that look? Not a chance. You don’t want to mess with the Biebs and his glossy lips.

Bieber does have a message to all you haters:
