But the travel industry is encroaching on their turf.

Airlines, hotels, cruise companies, and travel booking sites are trying to make Travel Tuesday happen, luring you to buy on one-day deals for your next vacation.

Toby, it won't be long until the rest of this week is spoken for.

All right, the case against Luigi Mangione will take a big step forward this week, almost one year after the 27-year-old was accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan.

Mangione, who faces federal and state charges for the killing of Thompson, will appear in court for hearings today as his lawyers try to get evidence thrown out ahead of a potential trial.

He is expected to receive a lot of support from legions of fans who still consider him a folk hero for taking action against what they consider an evil American healthcare system.

Mangione's legal defense fund has raised $1.4 million from an online fundraising campaign with a median donation of $15.

In sports, the 12-team college football playoff will come into view with the penultimate rankings arriving Tuesday night, showing where the top teams stand after a chaotic rivalry weekend that was overshadowed by coaching drama.

Yesterday, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin jumped ship to rival school LSU, an unprecedented and bizarre situation because Ole Miss is a national title contender

and Kiffin won't be around to coach them in the upcoming playoffs.

Meanwhile, in more coherent soccer, the draw for next summer's World Cup will take place on Friday at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in which the 48 qualifying countries will be split into 12 groups of four for the group stages.

It's about to get real.

Please do.
