While Utah took it one game at a time, L.A. prov ed that on any given Sunday a team can rest on their laurels and lose.

With the Tyson -Spinks fight nearing, the safe and sensible prediction is for Tyson to win by either a late TKO or a unanimous decision. Spinks doesn’t have a chance, unless he resorts to biting, butting or low blows. It’s terrible to see low blows in a big fight. Remember Duran-Leonard II? There were more crotch shots in that fight than in a David Lee Roth video. Yankee announcers Hawk Harrelson and Bobby Murcer are jokingly promoting a sprin- toff between Rickey Henderson and Bo Jackson. Harrelson says he’ll take Henderson in the 50 and Bo in the 100.

Mouse Davis once again pop ped into the news with the for mation of a new league, the World Indoor Football League. There can’t be enough room for more than one indoor football league. But this is the WORLD Indoor Football League. I guess that leaves it open for overseas expansion. Surely they’d love it in Bangkok. Hey, America fell for indoor soccer, which has an entertainment value slightly higher than the pay binoculars at Sea Lion Caves. Why doesn’t so meone bring Australian Rules Football to the states? A heart attack may start with pressure, fullness, squeezing dr pain in the middle of your chest. It can spread to your shoulders, neck or arms. Dizziness, fainting, sweating and shortness of breath may even occur. If you experience any of these symptoms for more than two minutes, call for emergency medical help immediately. The longer you wait, the more you risk dying. Which can be very painful for everyone who cares about you.
