People age-18-and-above are now the toy industry’s most important demographic as they spent more on themselves than on children ages 3 to 5.
That represents 28 percent of total global toy sales.

He was age 35 when he called the "Miracle on Ice."
I would prefer a younger and more enthusiastic play-by-play announcer calling weekly NFL games instead of his mediocre performances.

Are the Lakers better without LeBron James?
In LeBron’s season debut, Los Angeles outscored Utah by one point with him on the court, while they outscored the Jazz by 13 with him on the bench.
