Several pictures posted of 4 to 5 Monday Night Football trucks parked at the Holiday Inn at the Cedar Bluff exit (look a few pages back). The question is why not travel a short distance east, which would be on the way to the next venue (Charlotte) where the roads are wider and much less congested.

Oh I’ve been here for the whole thing. But I can’t tell if we’re seriously thinking this means anything. Lol.

Maybe they have no idea what we're all obsessing over?

Yes, it is.

Someone mentioned nightlife. Well, here at Strawplains, we have Puleo's and Aubrey's, both within walking distance. Lots of fast food and the stupid Pilot truck stop which is HUGE.

Oh and real important. We have Waffle House and Krystals. ;)

Not to step on any toes, but the Cedar Bluff Waffle House parking lot is better suited for fights. Just sayin...:)

Without being able to decipher a hidden meaning, my interpretation of the Bubba post is his version of 'see, I do have lots of money and I also have lots of virtual currency.'

The truck stuff is intriguing just because of where they are located and the connection to JG's current employer.

So the midday meltdown backed up to after supper.

If you have more than one driver, you have double the hours of driving time. The husband just chimed in, bless his logistics bammer soul, that team drivers are pretty rare and used only in very time sensitive routes. It's more expensive to have two drivers than one. No idea if espn has teams.

Trucks charge by the mile and pay their drivers by the mile... the only way they make money is when they are moving ... they actually make more money if they keep the wheels rolling ...

Grandson is OTR driver

If I understand it all properly, one member of the community passed by a certain hotel on the west end of Knoxville today, and saw the Monday Night Football production trucks pulled up there (or moving vans craftily decorated to appear to be MNF production trucks, we're still not sure which).

So the community scout, Sara, got on the phone and tricked the hotel staff into neither confirming or denying, which is of course, a confirmation just of a different sort.

And then another community scout (Tasty maybe?) drove by and confirmed that, indeed, those trucks are there, right now, live. And there are now 5 of them.

Folks have pointed out that while you might take the interstate route that passes through Knoxville to get from Green Bay (this week's MNF locale) to Charlotte (next week's site), it's not the most efficient route. And it is extremely odd that the drivers would leave that route to go to the west side of town for a hotel when there are better-situated hotels in east Knoxville, on their route without detour.

Another member of the community pointed out that those rigs have the extended cabs, and why would any trucker pay $$ for a hotel room when he's got a crib for free and doesn't even have to pack a suitcase?

So that's kind of where we are right now with the trucks, the whole thing about Bubba and the bitcoins is a separate deal (we think. so far). And Daniella seems to be a separate deal, too, we believe. Honestly, no one is explaining her role in all this, which I find suspicious.

Oh yeah, and that exit with the hotel in west Knoxville? Same exit as Jon Gruden's house, they say.

Hope I didn't leave anything out.

No body does.... but there is a reason those trucks are hear and it is NOT just passing through.... that does not add up.... the original tweet said they were here to do story on Gruden moving to Knoxville. Is that true???? But it is not they are just passing through

For the common OTR driver this is true. Do you think these MNF drivers are cut from the same cloth.

I dont
