I mean really?<\/li>\n<li>The Mecklenburg County high school football player that died during a football game has gotten zero media attention locally.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of that, does the Register &amp; Bee have any sportswriters now? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.godanriver.com\/site\/personnel.html\" target=\"_blank\">Their website lists Nick Gueguen &amp; Adam Hainsfurther, but they&#8217;ve been gone for a long while.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Come to think of it&#8230; they haven&#8217;t even listed Trevor Metcalfe, the newest reporter that started back in August. Hey, Robert!<\/li>\n<li>We rode by the Miyako restaurant on Tuesday night, and there was one vehicle parked up beside the restaurant. Does anybody ever eat there? Have I asked that before?<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of restaurants in that area, Texas Steakhouse (one of our advertisers) has a great deal going on now. Buy a $25 gift card and get a $5 gift card free.
