Note from Ted; Competition is
non-existent in sports right now, but we can still have duels in
other areas. Such as music. Which Motown group was better - The Four
Tops or The Temptations? I reached out via text last night to all
kinds of folks -- former DN colleagues,
website contributors/loyalists, current and former
coaches/administrators, current refs, even a former Big 5 coach,
former NBA ref, and current NBA executive. Many folks answered with
statements such as, "Man, this is tough, but I've gotta go with . .
." Or, "BOTH great. Just a slight edge to . . . " Anyway, the win
goes to . . . The Temps. By a whopping margin, 28-9. (Now 30-9. Two
more votes received this morning) My choice? The
Four Tops. My wife's choice? Ditto. Maybe we're not the smartest
