March 25, 2013 Raider fans rejoice! The NFL has eliminated the tuck rule! The tuck rule was laid to rest last Wednesday when 29 owners decided it was time to eliminate it at the NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix. Raiders fans know the famous rule well from the 2002 AFC divisional playoff game between the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots. The rule had only been in effect since 1999 but it was that game that put the spotlight on the rule.
Though she put on an impeccable show Wednesday night, America ultimately decided they didn't want to see Haley Reinhart in the next week's finals.
The 20-year-old Wheeling, IL, native was booted from 'American Idol' late Thursday night, leaving Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina to battle it out for the season 10 crown.
For Ralph Macchio, it was close, but not close enough.
The 'Karate Kid' star was officially kicked out of the 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 competition Tuesday night, ending a somewhat rocky road to the semifinals.
Macchio, who began the season with an unexpectedly strong debut performance, thanked his fans and partner Karina Smirnoff for an unforgettable run on the show.
'American Idol' season 10 is officially down to the final three. Over 72 million votes were cast this week, making it the highest top-four vote ever in the history of the show.
Unfortunately, even record-breaking numbers weren't enough to save James Durbin. The 22-year-old rocker was sent packing Thursday night, marking yet another surprise in an already surprise-heavy season.
Despite a solid run in the competition, tonight, 'Dancing With the Stars' season 12 bid adieu to rapper Romeo, just one week before the semi-finals.
The 21-year-old, who received a standing ovation from the judges after he was eliminated, expressed mixed - but ultimately upbeat - thoughts on Tuesday's results.
'American Idol' is down to the final four!
Last night's elimination show started off quickly, with the remaining five contestants performing 'So Happy Together.' After the mandatory Ford commercial, judge Jennifer Lopez took to the stage to sing her hit single 'On the Floor,' before contestants were quickly divided into two groups, where Jacob Lusk and Lauren Alaina found themselves in the bottom two.
And then there were five.
Ryan Seacrest told us at the top of the show that we would be disappointed with the outcome of tonight's results - and he wasn't wrong: In somewhat of a shocker, Casey Abrams was eliminated from 'American Idol.'
Of course, the elimination wasn't totally surprising, as Casey was actually eliminated on a previous episode. (He was then saved by the judges.) Even so, it didn't feel like it was his time to go, especially after his crowd-pleasing performance on Wednesday. Then again, it's a talented group of six, so tonight's results were guaranteed to have at least some shock value.
For Chris Jericho, it's time to stop believing.
The pro-wrestler officially got the boot from 'Dancing With the Stars' Tuesday night, after his tango to 'Don't Stop Believin'' on Monday earned the lowest score of the night (22).
Jericho took the news pretty well, and even saved some room for a little humor, telling the audience he had to catch a plane to attend the Royal wedding.
So much for a knockout.
After four weeks in the competition, 'Dancing With the Stars' pair Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskaya were eliminated from the competition.
The news came just one day after the duo's entertaining Viennese waltz, which earned them a score of 21 from the judges.
'American Idol' got its second shocking elimination of the season, only this time, the judges weren't able to Pia Toscano.
In a major surprise, the 22-year-old beauty, who wowed America early on with such performances as 'I'll Stand By You,' 'All By Myself' and this week's 'River Deep, Mountain High,' leaves the competition tonight as season 10 wields down to just eight contestants.
