Again, we could always come up with cases such as these.  I agree the
background at the house would beat the background at most badge racks.
Discrepancies could be and are investigated and I'm sure we could get Bubba
to fess up to laying the TLD on the TV.  Of course Bubba probably has a
remote these days and is generally too lazy to walk to the TV.

Bottom line...it makes sense for some facilities to send TLD's home.  It
makes sense for some facilities to keep them on site.

I think Mae West would give taking the TLD home a try.
