Hello and thanks for joining us if your just tuning in Tonight the news at six depicts corruption in a win We now negate the story that we brought to you at five It seems a famous boxer out in Vegas took a dive Our previous report had stated that one balladeer Had stood the test of time never succumbing to his fear Of the up and coming fighter undefeated ‘till tonight Yes, Balladeer the champeen won through three rounds of the fight But from the final bell there were suspicions of a fix Shouts were heard from all around, “bal’s up to his old tricks! There’s no way that the youngin would befriend the mat that fast And Bally’s prime for punchin many years ago was passed” Then came investigations by the local press brigade To test the accusations that the many fans had made When to no ones surprise they found that foul play was involved But here tonight we promise you the problem has been solved The reports are still coming in but here is what we know It seems the champ paid off the kid so he could steal the show Five hundred thousand dollars we believe the two exchanged And to our knowledge many weeks ago this was arranged Wait! What’s this? Hold on here folks we have a special guest Right here at the station live we have one of the best! It seems the kid who took the fall now wants to make things right How lucky it is that we have him here with us tonight So without further ado we now go to him live Kevin are you there, and is it true you took a dive? “Well yes it is I’m sad to say, I truly do regret it There’s lots of evil in this world that happens if you let it And all the good that my hard work over the years has done me I threw away to someone ‘cause he offered me his money So here I’ve come to set things straight with all whom I’ve let down I promise you if we rematch I surely take Bals crown I’ll gladly give that old man back the gratitude he paid me If he promises that he will no longer evade me And for the disbelievers I present the check he gave me Here writtin in the memo section “For losing/to save me” Signed sealed and delivered by pro boxings former Winner Who I intend to show is merely nothing but a sinner A cheater who has bought his way to the top of the scene Relying not on his great strength but on his paper green So listen up this game is over bally come on out Whenever you are ready we shall start the final bout No money involved in the matter we shall see whose best That is good sir if you feel that you are up to the test Well there you have it folks it seems a challenge has been made And proof tonight has surfaced that the challenger was paid Now the only question is can lost pride be regained Or will this be known as the last night that our champion reigned |

Prosecutor: Mr. Kevin, you are stating that Balladeer paid you $500,000.00 to throw the fight? Is that correct? Kevin: Yes, sir. Prosecutor: In other words you are admitting that you are a crook, a criminal, a man (and I use the term loosely) whose integrity can be bought for money??? Kevin: Yes...but I changed my mind. I want to give it back for a rematch! Prosecutor: Your Honor, I would like to read for the court Kevin's response to Balladeer's Main Event post...and I quote.. "Ill gladly trade your poet cheers For a fine lady and some beers " Did you say that, Mr. Kevin? Kevin: er, well...I suppose so. Prosecutor: and yet now you say you will give back FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS for those same poet cheers???? A half a million!?!! Do you know how many chicken wings that kind of money will buy? Kevin: Uh, no.....how many? Prosecutor: Chicken wings are 10 for $5.00. You're a college boy...do the math. Kevin: We don't take math until our senior year...HOW MANY???? Prosecutor: ONE MILLION CHICKEN WINGS!!! Kevin: with celery sticks??? Prosecutor: Yes! Kevin: Drop the charges! I wuz wrong! He beat me fair and square!! Somebody, get me to Hooters!!! Ah, Kevin, this was a magnificent response, I must admit, but I can only respond with the words Edward G. Robinson said to Steve McQueen at the end of "The Cincinnati Kid". Look it up  P.S. Great work!!  |

Well now, you're quite welcome, son. A pleasure to meet someone who understands that for the true gambler, money is never an end in itself. It's simply a tool, as a language is to thought. Good evening, uh, Mr. Slade. -Lancey Howard- "The Cincinnati kid" What? You thought i was too young for culture come on now...i know my greats -Im a movie junkie ive taken a few courses on film here at clemson heheCool Hand Luke's My favorite [This message has been edited by Kevin (edited 11-18-2001).] |

hehe...nope, not that one. At the end, when Edward G beats McQueen for the final hand, he turns to him and says, "You're good, kid, but remember this. As long as I'm in town you'll always be second-best." THAT'S THE LINE!!! Maybe what we have here is a failure to communicate |

Kevin, To my surprise you did well. But you are doomed to failure. You didn't do your homework. You really didn't research Balladeer. He is an extrodinary man and I wish I was born with some of his abilities. But Bon Chance my friend. |

I've lost count...how many rounds is this?? When's the next round??? Don't start til I get my popcorn!! Kevin and the Balladeer are fighting here a duel But hold on for the next great round, I need some wings for fuel I'll gladly cheer the victor, and the loser who may vie But I;m thinking that this duelling, may end up in a tie If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
