Chicago suburb mows Hawks fan's "playoff lawn"

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/chicago-blackhawks-fan-playoff-lawn-cut-down-prime-165433288.html

So he decided to grow a playoff lawn.

It's exactly what it sounds like. Basically, he just didn't cut his lawn. Sure, it was a terrible eyesore, but Miller put up a sign to explain himself: "PLAYOFF LAWN", it read, "Won't cut until Hawks win the Cup!"

According to Miller, people were into it, honking their cars as they drove by and, on some occasions, even stopping to take a picture for some reason....

And one night, the unthinkable happened: The city cut it, like a snake in the, uh, grass.




Still pulling for the Broons, of course, but this guy's earned some mad props!
