Well this is cool. The CADILLAC (MI) NEWS reports that ESPN is filming a segment to air on either SportsCenter or Outside the Lines that will detail the rock band KISS visiting Cadillac High School in 1975.

ABC’s Modern Family is supposed to be funny (we haven’t seen it, because we’re bad at keeping up with any non-sports television - it’s a personality flaw), which is a welcome respite from the lineup of forgettable, canned-laughter-fest sitcoms that usually get trotted out every year by the networks.
