Trust me, Andrea, if you tried to read the L.A. Daily News, you'd be snoozing long before you finished the first section.

Classic!  That's a prize winner!

Green Bay Packers:  I can't say it's alternate name on a family message board.

I'm pretty certain I know the name you can't post.  FWIW, in the first MASH book, in the part where the 4077th is forming the unit football team, there's an off-handed reference to "The Green Bay Pachederms".

There is a nearby suburban community college (Volunteer State C. C.) sometimes referred to as "Harvard on the Highway" or "U.S.C.--the Univesity of Sumner County". Campus has a nice little radio station WVCP.
