I'm not sure of the hotel situation in Frisco, but maybe alternate days with bowls games in Orlando using the Disney World infrastructure.

Two schools come in, play the next day, leave the next morning, and two new schools come in that afternoon.

ESPN will figure out what college football inventory it needs for December and then backfill with generic weeknight bowls in Frisco, Texas until it reaches equilibrium.

The first big news story I remember as a kid was the disappearance and murder of a local girl. But you did not hear about that happening in other places. After Atlanta, missing children from other places became major news. You thought it was happening more because you were now hearing about it more.

Atlanta child murders. Before that, missing kids were a local news story only, if at all. It went national and impacted the culture at large, fueled by the rise of the 24-hour news cycle.

The parallel is the Tylenol poisoning murders. Now everything is safety sealed.

L&L is in a surprising number of states, but most (outside of California) only have one or two locations.

For those wondering ... the Royals.TV + MLB.TV bundle is $199.99/yr -- which isn't bad because that's just an added $50 for the season of Royals.TV (MLB.TV alone for the year is $149.99)

Not sure why there is not a Hawaiian mixed plate joint in every neighborhood. Grilled protein, sweet-soy flavor, easy-quick-cheap- relatively healthy takeout option.

They think they are trying to contend, but given the outfield, it may appear to be pretend.

They don’t let you vote for the kicker or the punter.

The last season of Cheers was a bit rough, but the toupee reveal was one of the funniest moments in television history.

Super Bowl commercials have been crap for well over a decade. They maintain cultural relevance because they provide easy media content and an accessible subject of conversation that anyone can talk about.

I assume the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies is a faithful recreation of Cinema Paradiso followed by a ninety-minute performance of that fake American song from the 1970s.

Like Nelson Muntz, maybe they thought you secretly liked Andy Williams.
