Windy City within reach of unlimited championships
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Championship, MLB, NHL,
The city of Chicago has a long sports tradition. When the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last week and ended the NHL’s longest championship drought, a new chapter began in the history book of the Windy City. That story continued on Sunday night as the champs brought Lord Stanley’s prized hardware into Wrigley Field to show off to the fans - and perhaps inspire either of Chicago’s two baseball teams to follow in their footsteps.

American Idol 9: The Finale
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features, Video,
Wednesday night was Simon Cowell’s last moment with American Idol, and the night belonged to him much more than the two contenders for the ninth Idol crown. Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox performed ably on Tuesday night, but only the votes would determine which would walk away with the winning title. The show will undoubtedly crash and burn now that Cowell is walking away…but that is talk for another time.
The Top 12 Idols - including Crystal and Lee, of course - danced out on stage to deliver “School’s Out for Summer.” While Orianthi jammed out on the guitar, Casey James suddenly announced a surprise appearance - Alice Cooper. This was an exciting guest star, but honestly, he sounded quite bad. And I’m a fan.
The evening started out with a fairly lackluster vibe…but there was much, much more to come.
