The simplest option, and probably the best, is to add an id field to
your events, and make that a unique number. So:
"items" : [
{
"homeAway" : "Home",
"start" : "2008-11-27",
"oppScore" : 9,
"date" : "11/27/2008",
"opponent" : "Seattle Seahawks",
"coach" : "Wade Phillips",
"id" : "1",
"label" : "11/27/2008 - Seattle Seahawks",
... (next item has id 2 etc.)

Use an id, then you can use duplicate labels.

Yes. In this case your labels can be unique, and you can use a "lens"
to display what to show on a timeline. Or I may be mistaken, and a
lens only applies to what is shown in the popup -- I am new to TL
myself.

This is just a matter of specifying the pixels-to-event ratio. If
you'd like some more help with that just ask.

Not sure what you mean by this. They should stack up vertically by
date-time, that is if A and B happened at the same time, they should
be vertically stacked.
