The Swamp

Its impossibly weird to me that some people really do think like this.

Before America West Airlines was bought/merged/whatever with American, they used to have a couple daily direct flights from Columbus to Vegas. If you happened to be in the airport, you knew one of those flights had arrived because literally 60+% of the passengers were wearing some sort of red Ohio State gear, as if in place of a tag saying, "If found, please return to Columbus, Ohio".

Just a cult.

I almost puked looking at that pasta dish.

That was a fun read.

I remember seeing (but not entering) "Ditka's" in Chicago.

And I know Don Shula had a steak joint or two in Florida.

And there was a "Gretzky's" here in Toronto. Sort of a mid-level roadhouse joint.

I don't care that it has nothing to do with this season. It's awesome.

Me, when he met me and thought my name was "Jeff" after confirming the restaurant he was going to was good.

But, seriously, I am not surprised that someone who peddles in access journalism to the degree he does is doing stuff like this to keep the faucet open.

I would say yes in case that source knows someone higher on the food chain, which seems likely, that can catch and kill.
