The city originally attempted to relocate the New Jersey Devils to Nashville, but things didn’t work out after a push from the state of New Jersey and promises to the Devils to renovate their arena. The NHL finally granted an expansion franchise to Nashville after the completion of Bridgestone Arena, to begin play in […]

Garth Brooks crying? Now there’s something you don’t see every day… Of course the “Friends In Low Places” singer has been known to shed a few tears every now and then.

What happened to the Christmastime that I love? Now that the calendar has flipped to November, the holiday season is officially upon us. It still might seem a little early to celebrate Christmas, but try telling that to all of the retailers that have had their Santa stuff out since late September. Needless to say, consumerism love Christmas, and brands have been chomping at the bit to roll out their Christmas themed ads and products. I’ll admit that the one […]

It would be a natural fit. Yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys shared a teaser of who will be the halftime performer for their annual Red Kettle Kickoff Thanksgiving halftime show, which has featured country artists for the last several years in Lainey Wilson in, Dolly Parton in 2023 (iconic), and Luke Combs in 2022.

Driving in a winter wonderland. As we inch closer and closer to the winter months, we all must prepare for driving in wintry conditions. That is unless you are reading this from a place like Florida, where the cold weather months won’t really affect your commute. I’d imagine that must be nice… though you don’t get to experience what the rest of the country calls “the four seasons,” which isn’t a great trade off in my opinion. If you live […]
