Chance F-Bombs / Konkol Column / Poop Fairies / Bloodshot Records

The Chicago Sky championship rally sure was a party. There was drinking and cigar smoking.

And after "champagne for breakfast," Sky superfan Chance the Rapper even matched former Blackhawks' goalie Corey Crawford's infamous 2013 profanity laced Stanley Cup rally speech.

The Grammy-winner from the Chatham neighborhood dropped the F-bomb twice with TV camera's rolling while playing hype-man at the Millennium Park party celebrating the Sky's WNBA title.

Also, Gov. J.B. Pritzker used his executive authority to rename Chicago "Sky Town" for a day — before Sky season ticket holder, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, could get a word in.

Pritzker gave the team a paper copy of a proclamation at the downtown rally. Then, Lightfoot dunked on the governor, so to speak. She presented team ownership with a golden plague marking her mayoral decree that renamed the city "Sky Town" for a day.

While folks celebrated the Sky Tuesday, Chicago police officers were quietly being stripped of their guns and police powers for failing to report their vaccination status. Cops have every right to be angry. For generations, they've been untouchable heroes, even the dirty ones. That's the Chicago Way, right?

• Just in time to cure the Chicago Sky's championship rally hangover, Eater Chicago ranked the best places to score a plate of chilaquiles, a Mexican breakfast dish that's a"killer hangover cure." If you live north of 26th Street, that is. La Catedral Cafe at 25th and Christiana is the southernmost joint on the list. (Eater)
• Police are looking for a clown who shot a man on 83rd Street in Chatham. Seriously. Someone wearing a clown mask, tan sweater and white latex gloves walked up to a man and shot him in the leg. No clown was in custody late Tuesday. (FOX32)
• It sure was fitting that the U.S. Senate to schedule today's confirmation hearing for former Mayor Rahm Emanuel's presidential appointment as U.S. Ambassador to Japan on the seventh anniversary of Laquan McDonald's murder, who was shot and killed by police officer Jason Van Dyke. (Patch)
