There may not be another tournament this year, but that doesn’t mean I can’t show the love and appreciation for someone in Chicago television. Earlier this year, personal favorite, Kim Vatis, left NBC 5 to pursue other opportunities. As expected, my ANGER! reached levels of Chucky after hearing about this. However, NBC 5 has went out of their way to mend my broken heart. Lauren Petty has arrived on your television on weekend mornings. You can also catch her on some weekdays doing some reporting out and about.
Some weekend mornings, you are lucky enough to see both her and winner of last year’s tournament, Cheryl Scott. Other weekends, you are stuck with Pete nutSack doing the weather. That’s alright though. As long as Lauren is front and center, that’s all that matters. As usual with these babes I talk about, fantastic at her job and someone I adore.
Lauren, keep up the good work. We’re paying attention. And one more thing, the picture below, is an all-star team of Chicago babes on one newscast. (Lauren Petty, Cheryl Scott and Michelle Relerford)

In that picture she kind of looks like a less sluttier version of Stephanie McMahon
March 24, 2014 at 11:29 am
I didn’t realize that until you said it. It must be the smile. Stephanie use to be a babe back in the Attitude Era. Now, not so much.
March 24, 2014 at 12:35 pm
That’s what being married to HHH gets you! Lauren is quite nice, but I still want Kelly Crull.
And where exactly is Chucky level of anger? Does your definition match mine? Mine is somewhere between bashing someone in the face with a piece of heavy mining equipment to disemboweling him with a wooden cooking spoon, then locking them in a portable toilet and setting it on fire. Penciling a person in for a visit with the angel of death just isn’t enough anymore. Please enlighten me.

Sounds like Chucky just revealed himself to be one of the co-writers for the Hostel movies!
Fro, didnt forget ya. She said you have to make the reservation with the friends and family rate. Then she has to have your name and stuff to go in and approve it when she goes to work tomorrow. Shes out of town now when she gets home later ill find out more and point you in the right direction.
March 24, 2014 at 5:36 pm
CS….no, I’m just a huge fan of the late George Carlin. Truth be told, that was all his genius there.
March 24, 2014 at 8:12 pm
2 words- YES PLEASE!
March 25, 2014 at 9:43 am
Ladies and gentleman,
I am heading to New Orleans. I bought a cheap ticket to the show (cheap by Wrestlemania standards) and will driving down there next weekend. CS, I am going to be penny-pinching for this trip so I can get those cheap hotels, that would work great.
March 25, 2014 at 10:35 am
Fro, the woman explained to me that all the hotels have a limited number of friends and family rates they can do and with WM in town they are all used up in the city of New Orleans. The best I would be able to help you with is a Hampton Inn in Covington, Louisiana which is 32 miles from New Orleans @ $91 a night. Let me know if your interested asap and we can start the process.
March 25, 2014 at 10:48 am
I’ll get back to you later today. I am probably going to go cheap and get a Super 8 off of 55. Those rates are about $30 cheaper. Super 8 sucks but I usually use them on vacations because they’re dirt cheap.
March 25, 2014 at 10:55 am
Keep in mind availability, those could be booked up. If you go to Kayak.com there is a Econolodge in Kenner, La for $120 a night. Good Luck! Again let me know if you cant find anything cheaper.
March 25, 2014 at 10:57 am
Google is telling me Covington is about 58 miles or so from New Orleans. I don’t know what’s up with that.
March 25, 2014 at 11:30 am
I just booked the reservation in Hammond, Lousiana which is about the same distance to New Orleans from Covington. I stay on I-55 so I won’t have to go out of my way. First, I am staying overnight in Memphis for about $50 and in Hammond, each night is about $70 after taxes.
March 25, 2014 at 11:30 am
That is weird. Hotel link says 32 and maps says 41 and your google says 58. Did technology died? lol
March 25, 2014 at 11:32 am
Oh, I sent ya the link to search rates I can help you with.
March 25, 2014 at 11:45 am
Yeah. If you look at the map, it’s actually the same distance. The only difference is a bridge crossing if you’re in Covington. It’s all good though. I am going to Wrestlemania and I am going to be spending quite a bit of time on Bourbon St. From what all of you are saying, it’s going to smell like a dump. Imagine the stereotypical WRASSLIN’ fan and times it by 75,000. I am in for a treat.
March 25, 2014 at 1:07 pm
Anyone see Scooby-doo on Raw lastnight? I guess now hes eligible for the WWE Hall of Fame!
March 25, 2014 at 3:07 pm
Hey. He’ll be in the next year. No doubt about it.
And good news coming from the NFL: They just approved on penalizing teams whose players dunk the football over the goal post. It’s good to see Roger Goodell working hard at his job. Apparently, being commissioner of any sport must such a boring job, that they have to keep making rule changes and scheduling games every single day.
March 26, 2014 at 8:36 am
Ladies and gentlemen, the sun is out today here in Illinois. And the Bears just signed Jared Allen.
It’s a glorious day.
March 26, 2014 at 9:51 am
I like they got him for half the money they spent on Peppers. I think his best years are behind him but we will see flashes of the past. They need a secondary! You can have the best run stop defensive ever and it wont mean shit without a badass safety making that qb think twice about passing over the middle.
March 26, 2014 at 9:56 am
Wait, Chris Conte isn’t that guy you’re talking about?
March 26, 2014 at 10:30 am
Probably not Fro. Just sayin’.
March 26, 2014 at 11:04 am
I would love to lock Chris Conte in a sound proof room with Chucky, a blow torch, hand cuffs, jumper cables, a pair of vice grips…. Chucky please continue…
March 26, 2014 at 11:35 am
I wonder if Jared Allen will keep #69? Anyone remember a Brock Lesnar wearing that number in practice squad/pre season? Then he tried to fight for real and got a bad tummy which got got kicked by Alistair Overeem ending that career sending him back to the WWE for a paycheck.
March 26, 2014 at 11:58 am
CS…..those are not my usual weapons, but don’t worry, I’m sure I can find a good use for them somehow. Now, aside from Jay Cutler, who else would you like locked in that room with me. Cutler’s bimbo wife can be included in your list.
March 26, 2014 at 12:20 pm
Roger Goodell, John Boehner, Nancy Grace, and if there is any room… The entire Chicago cubs staff.
March 26, 2014 at 1:23 pm
You don’t like John Boner? Welcome to the club. Let’s throw in Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, Rush Limbaugh, Sean “Baby Jesus” Hannity, Michael Weiner Savage, Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and Tom Skilling. That’s all I can think of at the moment. As my hero and idol, George Carlin once said, these are people need to be smashed in the head 30 or 40 times with a bowling trophy.
And people who identify themselves as Christian conservatives or members of the tea party should be thrown screaming from a helicopter.
If I think of some more people who should be penciled in for a visit from the Angel of Death I’ll let you know.

This is going to get VERY interesting!
March 26, 2014 at 10:31 pm
Personally, I’d love to tolchock Ezra Klein, Chris Hayes, Reginald Toure, Lawrence O Donnell, and the rest of those whining man children from msnbc across their hound and horny grinning listos, then give them all horrorshow boots to those bing cherries that they call their yarblockos, oh my brothers. Ditto for Pat Quinn, Rahm Emmanel and his brother Dr Death, and Martin “Rain Tax” O Malley, and every Governor of Illinois who’s been sent to jail in the last thirty years.
And bolshy great yarblockos to all the grazhny vonny hippies, hipsters, Occupy Wall Streeters crying about capitalism while surfing the net on their Samsung Galaxy, Al Sharpton, Jesse jackson, and everyone else crying about RRAAAACISMMM!!! and Ricketts and Ma Fratelli McCloskey. Those prestoopnicks can all get run over by a platoon of M-1 Abrams, then get napalmed by a squadron of Vietnam-era A-4 Skyhawks.
March 26, 2014 at 10:43 pm
HOLY SHIT!!! DVX is giving Chucky a run for his money!!! Hell, I think he’s actually “lapped” him.
March 26, 2014 at 10:57 pm
I was just thinking the same thing. Some of you guys are just some crazy bastards.
I love it.
March 27, 2014 at 12:14 am
Somebody has been reading Anthony Burgess.
March 27, 2014 at 8:18 pm
HA HA HA HA HA HA…nice thread gents!
March 27, 2014 at 8:49 pm
Genrebuster! You coming back up to the city anytime soon? If you come back in the fall, we should get some tickets to a Bears game.
