Best April Fools jokes/pranks.

It’s all good by me. I know she takes a lot of grief. I see there’s a group taking pictures of cardboard cutouts of her around the City.

Best mayor that Chicago has had since, well... my lifetime anyhow.

I can’t say that I agree with everything she’s done. And as mayor of Chicago she’s technically head of the largest organized crime syndicate in the country... but that’s just the Chicago way.

Remembering Mark Cuban’s April Fool’s Day prank.

The year was 2003. Our feelings about Mark Cuban were far less complicated than they are today. He pulled off this greatness:

During a timeout in the Mavericks game against the then-New Orleans Hornets, Cuban began to argue with a ref, as he had done many times, but this was actually an actor dressed up as ref, and Cuban took the battle to another level, repeatedly shoving and then trying to wrestle the official.

The Dallas owner later told the Dallas Morning News that he was nervous the gambit would fall flat.

“We did it, and I remember thinking, I hope this doesn’t crater,” Cuban said. “When I stood up and there was the first shove, I could hear the whole place gasp. Then we went at it and I could hear everybody going nuts. Then I started laughing and blew it.”
