"Howdy, you've reached the Middle Georgia Heat Wave, Lars Anderson here," he announced. "What the hell can I do for you?"
"Absolutely not," Lars chortled. "Absolutely not."
Middle Georgia, Lars explained, was not a Soviet republic clamoring for independence. It was an expansion team that played games out of Macon, a small working-class Southern town.
"This league wouldn't fly in rich places," Lars said. Last season, the upper-class Fairfax, Va., franchise had folded. The blue-collar Scranton, Pa., organization had survived.
The Titans would hang their hats in Lynn, Mass. Lynn, Lars said, was another hardworking, football-crazed town in the Macon mold. Lars knew whereof he spoke--his father played for the Lynn Classical High School teams in the '40s and still lives there.
