Sometimes it skitters exhilaratingly around its bright upper reaches, then makes darting swallow-like swoops into the dark, resonant chest-tone regions of a Marilyn Home...
Sports Huddle fans do not take such predictions lightly. On the eve of the Miami Dolphins' 14-7 Super Bowl victory over the Washington Redskins, the Boston badmouths consulted a psychic, a bookie, two Chinese abacus experts and assorted astrologers, then correctly predicted the winner of the championship game for the fourth season...
