The Tug-of-War.

And finally, at the end of the day, it all comes together. The white-drugsy determination. Howard Cosell’s expert sportscasting and Hall-of-Fame-level sexism.

This is one of the longest in Battle of the Network Stars history, and it is utterly riveting from start to finish. You didn’t think you needed to hear the phrase “THE GIRLS OF ABC: UTTERLY PROSTRATE” today, but you did and I have you covered.
