I've found a list here of the top U.S. cities for sports fans.  The rankings only included cities with pro teams in all four major sports.

It looked at attendance, prices, and the city's total number of sports bars, but NOT how many championships they've won in recent years. 

I'm stunned by what city is number one. Dallas??? Really??? 

Here are the top 12:

1.  Dallas

2.  Chicago

3.  Detroit

4.  New York

5.  San Francisco  

6.  Minnesota

7.  Phoenix

8.  Denver

9.  Miami

10.  Philadelphia

11.  Boston

12.  Washington D.C.

Did you know PAUL MCCARTNEY was once invited to play in a "super group" with JIMI HENDRIX and MILES DAVIS?  He was, but he couldn't make it because he was on vacation at the time. 

Just before his death, JIMI HENDRIX was planning on recording with MILES DAVIS.  Their sessions were also going to include jazz musician TONY WILLIAMS.

And this "super group" could've had one more piece:  PAUL MCCARTNEY.

In 1969 (when Paul was still with THE BEATLES), Jimi, Miles and Tony sent him a telegram that said, quote, "We are recording an LP together this weekend in New York.  How about coming in to play bass?  Call Alan Douglas."

Paul didn't make the recording session, and it's unclear if he even received the telegram.  An assistant replied on his behalf . . . and said that Paul was away on vacation, and wasn't expected back for two weeks.

It's also unclear whether or not that recording session took place at all.  In his autobiography, Miles said that he and Hendrix jammed at his apartment, but they didn't get into the recording studio.

The telegram was sent in October of 1969.  The Beatles' break-up was officially announced in April of 1970, and Jimi died five months later, in September.

According to a new BankRate.com poll, Tennessee is the best state in the U.S. for retirement.

Statistics on cost of living, crime rates, tax rates, access to medical care and average annual temperatures were compiled to develop the ranking, with the best being states with relatively low cost of living, low crime rates, low tax rates, easy access to medical care and higher-than-average year-round temperatures.

Louisiana follows at number-two, while South Dakota is number-three. Kentucky and Mississippi round out the top five.
