Happy Hour: Rich. Cash Rich.
- Not only will John Rich soon have a spawn, but The Internet has uncovered his plan to name the kid Cash. The discovery was made after someone found the family’s gift registry with Babies R Us (which has since been removed) and it contained a note of thanks from “JOHN, JOAN & CASH” and also a due date of 1/7/10. Most of the list was boring, but we at least know that Cash Rich will be spending his first few months on this earth in camo baby pants and a matching hoodie. The end! [Tennessean]
- Regarding his decision to don the Peyton Manning jersey at yesterday’s Rocketown fundraiser, Coach Fisher insists that he did it to lighten up the situation and that he would do it again if he had the chance despite the fact that many Titans fans were pretty livid. [WTVF]
- Meanwhile, the Titans are spending their bye week re-learning how to throw and catch. So, hooray for that. [WTVF]
- The lady in Mississippi who claimed that Steve McNair was the father of her 17-year old daughter turned out to be wrong according to the DNA results that were released today. [WTVF]
- Some unfortunate folks in the Herm don’t have any running water this afternoon thanks to a ruptured water main on Lebanon Road. [WKRN]

Metro Police Auction Set Of Gold Grills, With Topaz [Lost & Found]
Once in a blue moon, the Metro Nashville Police Department’s auction listings for confiscated goods turns up something useful, such as this custom gold grill with genuine blue topaz and inlaid citrine stones. Though the item was appraised at $349, the highest bid is currently listed at just $57 and there are still almost five days left in the auction. All proceeds go to the Police State Drug Fund (your guess is as good as ours). Remember, Christmas is just around the corner! Thanks to Rob M. for the tip! [Smoking Gun]

Bright & Early: Weighing The Options Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The Metro Council voted to keep the 287(g) federal immigration enforcement program at last night’s meeting after also voting not to discuss the issue before making the decision. Dozens of folks opposing the program had shown up at City Hall to protest, but left abruptly after the vote was made and were reportedly upset that the council hadn’t allowed a discussion to take place. Councilwoman Megan Barry, one of only three council members to vote against the measure, came out and apologized to the crowd after the vote.
- Very funny. Titans coach Jeff Fisher attended a rally in support of Rocketown yesterday wearing a Peyton Manning jersey and declaring that he “just wanted to feel like a winner.” Though some folks thought it demonstrated a sense of humor and sportsmanship, quite a few Titans fans didn’t really appreciate the joke.
- Don’t call it a comeback. A preservation group is fighting tooth and nail against Mayor Dean’s October 5th decision to close the fairgrounds because they’ve managed to dig up a piece of state legislation signed in 1901 that commits Davidson County to hosting the state fair forever.
- Bits & pieces. The Music City Star fake-crashed into a Metro Bus yesterday to practice disaster preparedness … A guy jumped out of a Greyhound bus that was sailing down I-65 yesterday, for some reason … Williamson County police shot a suspect who had allegedly robbed a Kroger pharmacy in Franklin when he pulled out a (very convincing) fake gun … Our cotton crop is about a month behind this year thanks to all the rain.
