Manti Te’o
Former Notre Dame linebacker-and Heisman finalist-Manti Te’o gave sportswriters and fans an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and heartbreak after the death of both his grandmother and girlfriend within 48 hours of each other. Deadspin.com reported Wednesday that the girlfriend didn’t even exist- it was a fabrication. Notre Dame says that the Te’o was a victim of a hoax. ESPN.com’s Lester Munson reflects on the fall of a sports hero.
Boeing
After recent technical problems with Boeing’s 787 carriers, the FAA announced Wednesday plans to ground the planes until they can determine the cause of the issues. WBEZ’s Niala Boodhoo explains what this latest hurdle could mean for the Chicago company’s image and bottom line.
Obama’s Gun Proposals
President Obama announced Monday his executive orders for increasing gun control measures, including tougher background checks and a band on military assault weapons. Richard Pearson of the Illinois Rifle Association reacts to the President’s proposals.
Data Pot Map
Chicago’s been front and center when it comes to the local politics of pot-smoking. One reason is that last summer the city decided it would start issuing tickets for possessing small amounts of weed instead of just arresting everybody. WBEZ Web producer Elliot Ramos parsed through the data and analyzed what all the numbers mean.
Music Thursday
Bands, and the venues we first saw them in. For many music fans, nothing beats the live concert experience. The music (of course), the vibe, the camaraderie, the noise, and even the sweat. After the adrenaline-fueled euphoria subsides, and your hearing has returned, certain shows leave moments you’ll not soon forget. We’re joined on this Music Thursday by Bruce Finkelman, owner/operator of Empty Bottle in Chicago. He’ll share some of his most memorable concert-going moments, and we’ll invite listeners to call in or weigh in via social media.
