Running off at the typewriter. … Breaking news: The College Football Playoff Committee has reconvened and has unilaterally decided to go back in time and strip the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins of their perfect season and Super Bowl championship. “In hindsight,” CFB Playoff Chairman Boob Corrigan says, “the ’72 Dolphins, much like this year’s Florida State team, were just not the same after quarterback Bob Griese broke his leg and was replaced by aging backup Earl Morrall.” But, Mr. Corrigan, even though the Dolphins were in the bottom half of the league in passing offense back then, they...

TORONTO – This time, the track meet only lasted for the first two quarters. And then a grind. As seemingly always is the case when the Miami Heat play the Toronto Raptors. So even after going up 15 in the first quarter, 14 in the third quarter and 10 early in the fourth, the Heat found themselves again fighting to the finish against the Raptors. Having lost two of their previous three at a pace seemingly beyond their pedigree, the Heat this time stepped up defensively in the second half and got the halfcourt scoring needed in the fourth quarter to put it away in a 112-103 victory at...
