Let's Decipher Adam McKay's Hints About the Plot of Anchorman 2
Since Will Ferrell dropped the late-night bombshell that Anchorman 2 was a go the other week, the world's been wondering: What has Ron Burgundy been up to since 2004's Anchorman? Speaking with AM760/Salon, co-writer/director Adam McKay dropped a few hints about the sequel, which is currently being scripted. "I don’t want to give away too much, but I’ll just give a couple pieces of ideas that we’ve kicked around. Keep in mind we’re still writing the story, but I’ll say one phrase for you: custody battle. I’ll give you that. I’ll give you one other one: bowling for dollars." So... any guesses?
It has been eight real world years since Ron wooed his lady co-anchor Veronica Corningstone with his sweet jazz flute stylings circa 1975, so assuming the same amount of time has passed in Anchorman years it'd make sense if they now have a little Burgundy running around. Mind you, this is pure speculation, but just think about that for a second: A MINI RON BURGUNDY. YES PLEASE. Maybe the pressures of co-hosting World News Center drove a wedge in Ron and Veronica's relationship and they're fighting over their kid, Kramer vs. Kramer-style and the only way to get his family back is with... bowling?
That's all I've got with so little to go on. So have at it, Movieliners; what could Ron Burgundy be up to in Anchorman 2 -- and what would you like to see from him and the rest of the Channel Four News Team?

To all listening deities, please do not reprise the Vince Vaughan/Ben Stiller cameo workfare Jets v Sharks subplot. Ever.
Can't he host CNN or something?
How good would it be if Ron Burgundy took over from Larry King instead of Pier Morgan... Just make sure the entire news team assembles again and I'll be happy
I want to see a sequel to The Other Guys!!!
The Other Guys II: Pimps Still Don't Cry
They never shed a tear! YES.
I think they will have Ron and his news team in a Bowling competition, similar to The Big Lebowski, but hopefully very different. How funny would Ron and his team be competing in a prestigious 'winner take-all' bowling comp. King Pin was funny and so was The Big Lebowski.
I’ll give you that. I’ll give you one other one: bowling for dollars." So... any guesses?
