Going Off The Grid
	On a 1-10 scale, how interested are you in the World Cup?	Thoughts on Russia as tournament host so far	Where will LeBron James play next season?	Daily drink of choice	Favorite amusement park

Travis	7. Would have been 10 if U.S. was playing	Good job. Country hasn't been a story line at all	Lakers	1 Mountain Dew	Disney World -- still the GOAT of amusement parks
Hanlon	3. Know what's going on, but will only watch games w/ friends	Seems like a fun and engaging fan atmosphere	Think he'll stay with Cavaliers	1 cup of coffee, but could be 4 when working on the road	Epcot -- eat and drink around the world in one day
Peterson	1	Could not be more excited	Hope it's the Cavaliers	3 cups of coffee, 1 gin & tonic (hopefully in that order)	Yosemite National Park -- the rides are crazy
