There are many levels of “not cool” when describing a person’s actions. Cutting in line or not refilling the coffee pot in an office are Level 1 uncool things to do. Watch how many levels this Minneapolis punk jumps in one sentence: He mugged a man (Level 5 or so) who was 93 years-old (Level 8), the team doctor for the 1980 US Olympic Men’s Hockey team (so, an American Hero – Level 15), WHILE HE WAS VISITING HIS WIFE’S GRAVE (Level 9000). Also, it was in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday, which adds a level or two — let’s call it Level 9002. Such uncoolness deserves a spot on the Mount Rushmore Of Not Cool.
The assailant, who is still at large (MINNEAPOLIS CITIZENS — DO NOT RESORT TO VIGILANTE JUSTICE, EVEN THOUGH WE’D TOTALLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU DID), whaled on Dr. George Nagobads with a plastic ice scraper, which is just the most Minnesota thing you could imagine. Nagobads managed to make it to his car by tossing his wallet as a distraction (predators always go for the easier meal, after all), and he drove himself to the hospital, despite being concussed and having large cuts on his head that required stitches.
Luckily, Dr. Nagobads, American Hero, seems to be all right. We wish him a speedy recovery and we hope the professionals handling the case are asking him to tell them cool hockey injury stories, just like we would.
