The mighty Fins barely avoided an upset in the semis. Determined to up their intensity, they come out firing in the final. Big Red weathers the initial storm, but just barely, carrying a sizable deficit into the second period. At that juncture, however, Big Mo changes jerseys and Secretariat actually takes the lead just before the half. Miami attempts a trick play as time runs out, but they quickly realize that they’ve never been up against a defense as smart as this. Bailed out by yet another favorable call, however, the Dolphins score off an error and manage a halftime tie.
The Fins begin the second half with trash talk and posturing. Secretariat goes up by 10. Miami tries some deception. Secretariat by 20. The Dolphins get back to basics. Secretariat by 30. Miami gives up. At this point, oddly, the gap closes as Big Red takes pity on his undermanned opponent. Red then clowns his way through the final period, juggling and break dancing instead of playing. Mercifully for Miami, the spectators, and the record-setting TV audience, time runs out on yet another easy Secretariat win.

Speaking of Golf...
If you're ever close to the green and can't remember which clubs to take out of the bag, we at LT have composed a song to help you remember (to the tune of Sinatra's whatever-the-hell-that-song-is-called):
Wedge and putter,
Wedge and putter,
Go together like
Bread and butter...
(Actually, that's all we've written so far.)

City Challenge #13: Port Lucaya vs. Kibungo
Friendliness of the people:
Respect for everyone vs. disdain for tourists

8 buck for milk vs 60 cent cabs
Another clear edge to Kibungo

Greasy division: Port Lucaya
Spicy division: Kibungo

5 channels vs 3 ESPNs
Edge to PL

Tie
Climate:
Cool year round vs ‘What the hell kind of sweat box is this?’
Edge to K’o
Music:
Rwandan music is nice, but, come on, man: PL has kettle drums!
Currency:
Bahamian is interchangeable with US. Still, it doesn’t have gorillas on it.
Aggressiveness of the market sellers:
They’re insistent in PL, but it’s strictly A ball compared to the major leagues of Ko.
Pollution:
Littered beaches vs air that smells like diesel
Edge to PL only because they’re at least making some attempt to clean the beaches

The 5 Most Overrated Rivalries
1. Red Sox-Yankees
They play each other what?—18 times a year? Hey ESPN, stop pretending that every one of them is an event! Nobody outside of New England gives a crap.
2. Auburn-Alabama
Such intensity! Such hatred! Such rooting for one another the rest of the year for the glory of the good ol’ SEC!! Duke-UNC you guys ain’t.
3. Evert-Navratilova
Martina went oh for her fat years. Once she got in shape, MarNav laid Chrissie out like Greg Norman on Viagra.
4. Army-Navy
Admirable students at important universities, but the football game has become a big yawner. Quick—who won last year? Yeah, I don’t know either.
5. Duquesne-Fordham
The Dukes rock. Fordham is suck. ‘Nuff said.
