Tough choice. Pay good money to see the decrepit shell of a former legend 35 years past primary relevance or go to US Bank Stadium to see Paul McCartney.

This isn't correct. The state (or county), not the victim, brings a criminal action. That's why criminal cases are captioned "State of Minnesota vs. Accused Person." I don't know why there are no criminal charges here, but there are circumstances where the victim of an alleged sexual assault...

Wait until you see the price for game tickets on the secondary market!

Every once in a while the network would pressure them to air the Tonight Show right after the local news and there would be protestors at the station. You could hear them when the weather guy was in the Backyard doing the forecast.

Pretty easy to guess numbers 1 and 2. Nice twist for number 3.
