G6: Heat 98, Celtics 79: LeBron spins 45, lifts Miami to Game 7; plus Ochocinco to Dolphins?, cheerleaders fake-singing, I'll Have Another & more

[1) It is Saturday, June 9. Back from my Vegas vacation, now back from my work in Boston. Heat is 0-3 in games I missed this series, and 3-0 in games I covered. Coincidence? 2) The Chargers signed former Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown. 3) Feeling guilty that the blog has been so Heat-intensive lately, but tough to avoid. We'll gradually get back to our familiar, signature variety. 4) Join us on Twitter @gregcote]

Click on King James Roars for my column from Boston off the Heat's Game 6 win, and thanks for making it the most-read thing on all of MiamiHerald.com. Meantime, you can shop for a small swing in either direction, but most early sports books have Miami favored by 7 1/2 points in Game 7.

G6: HEAT 98, CELTICS 79: KING JAMES, INDEED! MIAMI ONE WIN FROM RETURN TRIP TO NBA FINALS: LeBron James, 45 points on 19-for-26 shooting; oh, and 15 rebounds. Mull those numbers. Savor them. This was one of the great, clutch performances in South Florida sports history, in an elimination that earned Miami a Game 7 back home on Saturday night -- winner-take-all for a spot in the NBA Finals. ..... Original post: Elimination game. Always a daunting, scary phrase in sports, and not more so than for the Miami Heat, which tonight is one loss from seeing its championship dream and ballyhooed Big 3 promise fall short for a second straight season. The Heat, down 3-2 in these NBA Eastern Conference finals, must win -- literally this time -- tonight in Baahston to stay alive and force a Game 7 back in Miami Saturday. I'm up here in Nuevo England for what will be a game column reflecting gloom or relief, no in-betweens. "You really rise to the occasion when the pressure is there," said Chris Bosh of his team. That, my friends, is to be determined. We'll know by around 11 tonight. Clearly as a starting point the Heat will need big, healthy minutes from Bosh, 50-plus combined points from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, and stout defense on Kevin Garnett to have a chance. The betting line is a near toss-up (Miami by 1 1/2 points) and, being honest, my thoughts on the outcome are no more defined. Fundamental faith in the Heat -- in LeBron and D-Wade to get it done -- has been rocked pretty badly by three straight losses. That's for many nervous fans, I'm sure, but also for Your Friend the Media, me. Miami has proven to be a team capable of so much, but the thing is, that's a broad spectrum that encompasses the polars of highlight-reel greatness and crushing disappointment. I resist the premature "what's next" scenarios that will bloom with anything less than a championship. You know, will coach Erik Spoelstra and the BIg 3 return intact for another try or are big changes in store? I respect this team enough to not start that already. You don't start an autopsy without a dead body. A loss tonight would commence that, though. We'll all find out together if that happens.

CHAD OCHOCINCO TO DOLPHINS?: Miami's own Chad Ochocinco, cut by the Patriots and available, is a wide receiver. The Dolphins are perceived by fans and media to need a wide receiver. A match? Oddsamkers seem to think so. Bovada has Miami a 3-1 favorite to sign the former (and maybe future) Chad Johnson, followed by Dallas 4-1 and Jax and St. Lou both 11-2. Ochocinco is flaky and past his prime but might be worth a low-cost training camp gamble.

DOLPHINS CHEERLEADERS LIP-SYNCH NEW VIDEO: Click here for 3 1/2 minutes of the Dolphins cheerleaders lip-synching Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." I think they lip-synch pretty well but am not positive because they are dancing in bikinis which tends to be distracting. They could be lip-synching to an entirely different song, perhaps "God Bless America," for all I noticed. We'll never know, but the Dolphins cheerleaders putting out a sexy video right after HBO announced the Dolphins would star this summer in its Hard Knocks reality series seem an unlikely coincidence.

'I'LL HAVE ANOTHER' WON'T HAVE ANOTHER: So much for horse racing's first Triple Crown in 34 years. Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I'll Have Another was scratched from Saturday's Belmont Stakes today with a sore right front leg. Pictured above: I'll Have Another being led by Barack Obama or by a groom who could get work impersonating the president.

easy there dukes-ter...put the bottle down.

since I jumped off the Heat's band wagon I don't feel any pressure at all, I won't even watch the game, I'll be practicing my breathing and meditation techniques..

I may also help my wife in her candle-making hobbie ( to get in touch with my feminine side ) which will be viewed by her as a positive and maybe get me laid more than once a month.

Oh

[FZB]

so Ochocinco is a free agent, do we take in ?

I say hell no, if Belicheat let him go is because he can't play.

shadow Fleetwood Mac is on my top ten list of all time favorite bands.

Mostly for Stevie, Lindsay and the gang but this is sad.

[the shadow knows]

Big Baby,

i stopped listening to fleetwood mac after the first album with the girls- world turning, blue letter are great songs. my preference is the fleetwood mac of the late 60s and early 70s- peter green (writer of black magic woman, albatross, oh well, green manalishi and many other great songs we've written about over the years here amongst the music afficianados)jeremy spencer (terrific bottleneck player) and danny kirwan. when jeremy spencer was kidnapped off sunset blvd by the children of g-d, bob welch was the emergency fill-in and was great. for a terrific rock'n'roll album, try "kiln house" from the early 70's- the first side of the vinyl version ends with "jewel eyed judy" and is one of the great sides in music- up there with the doors' first album side a. they were a great group that fletwood mac (a blues band) until they allowed ovaries into the group- UGGHHHH!!!

Shadow you are mostly missing the genius of Lindsay Buckingham it seems despite what you think of the gender of certain members of the band.

You can't honestly think that Stevie Nicks did not make that band better.

I will try those other songs you mentioned though.

[dukey]

"A History of Violence" is a classic flick and great fun for the whole family!

[Big Baby]

FZB stop calling Chalmers the worst PG in the league.

He's not.

It makes you look like a yahoo fan.

[I am Kazaam]

Yet another playoff game LeFraud didn't win with a buzzer beater.

FZB and Dashi are 'yahoo' fans. Heat fans know that center is the team's glaring weakness and will be the only focus this offseason, win, lose, or draw.

[Big Baby]

15 rebounds to go with with 45 points for LeBron?

That's not normal.

I have no expectation that Boston wins game 7.

I didn't think they would win the series to begin with.

Notice this week that I didn't come on here saying they would win game 6 either.

I said it would go 7.

They have been full of surprises this season so let's see what happens.

May the best team win.

[redsky]

How 'bout THAT you HEAT haters! WOW! LeBron is the MVP!

[Mr. Dickens]

Shadow you need to creep back into your sarcophagus with your high speed googler and miscogynist rants before your diaper leaks again. Your heinous posts are only dwarfed by your lack of originality.

[Bill Simmons]

The fan who threw his beer on LeBron is a hero and should be elected governor of Massachusetts. That's how you treat someone like LeFraud, who is an absolute disaster of a human being. Justice will be served in Game 7.

[Dashi]

Kaz I'ma a Lebron fan 1st, Heat Fan 2nd (Sorry I'ved never really liked Pat Riley growing up, I respect him, but I've always questioned his ability. Maybe once he retires? I've never liked his mentality of not letting rookies play.) Jordan showed me, U don't have to root for a team just root for a player in the NBA.

As I get older maybe I'll love the heat, as much as the dolphins. In my Eye's Dan Marino is The Greatest QB of All-Time. Even without a SB ring, The ring would've just left no argument against the Fact. Dan on 1 leg will beat brady or Peyton with 2. They still study his tapes and pick-up something new every time, But that's another discussion for another day.

Where's all my Celtic's Fan??

If the flopper is the truth, then Lebron must be A Genuine Fact. He's A Beast, He even spiced up Sporano's half-time speech yelling out Attack, Attack at the end. I would've luv to seen Pitt out there for 5 minutes on KJ or bAss. Hondo wouldn't take that weak stuff in the paint with a Big Boy in there. Pitt's due up for a suspension. KJ would be to tired to be doing push-ups after being pushed around for a while.

I still say fire SPO. I liked the Movement today, but I need to see Consistency.

Title or Else in my Book! And I only got 1 page so far if we lose and it says. "FIRE SPO" If we win I'll give the man his respect the man did his job Whoopie, but he's going to have to win 2 titles if he wants me to clap for his corny looking Self. Maybe a title will give him some Self-Esteem. Yea, I'm still Disappointed over last year, We were out coached last year. Shame we should've won.

I expect us to win Game 7. Not the same way though, but I still expect a blowout at home.

I believe we have a Center, Pitt. It's just Spo didn't develop him this year. Pitt and another 7'0 Rookie(1st rd) should split time next year. We have an advantage most teams don't have in that U can develop ur young players, cause U already have 3/5 of ur Line-up set with All-Stars.

Our PG position isn't bad either for now and the future, It's way better than the Center Position. Chalmers can play and is still developing into a Quality Starter. Coles is being held back from his growth on the court by bad coaching decisions. Chalmers & Coles should be splitting Minutes almost right down the middle. Coles speed is invaluable to have on the court, he just needs experience and U only get that by playing consistent minutes. Look how much Chalmers has Grown this year.

[OC Dolphin]

redsky,

James did have a great game, no doubt. The story on him is that he is seldom who we all saw today. This year I thought Kevin Durant was the MVP, followed by Kobe. As Oooh-wow! as LB can demonstrate, dude is inconsistent.

Again, I do hope Miami wins #7. Watch Durant demonstrate who the real MVP truly is.

Remember, I have no horse in this race, once my Lakers were overwhelmed (as with last year's champs) by who will hoist the cup.

footnote: wishing you health, bro.

[(the real) david in los angeles]

great game?
no one has put up numbers like that since wilt in 1964.
last series lebron put up numbers no one had since oscar robertson.
you laker fans are delusional.
this series could've been over last game.
if we continue to play defense and move on offense the way we did tonight, OKC doesn't stand a chance.

[(the real) david in los angeles]

durant?

averaged 28 points, shot .496%, 8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game.

lebron?

averaged 27.1 points, shot .531%, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, .8 blocks, and 1.5 steals a game.

kobe?

averaged 27.9 points, shot .430%, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, .03 blocks, and 1.2 steals a game.

kobe isn't anywhere near durant and lebron, and if you didn't know who put up what numbers, you'd take lebron's over durant's in a minute.

[OC Dolphin]

david,

I know you must be feeling grand. That's cool, I know it feels nice, but five rings versus 0, versus 0 doesn't make one capitulate with envy. Look up to see who's been leading the playoff in scoring for over a month now. LJ had a do-or-die game tonight and delivered. By the time ESPN rolls off those obligatory stats, LJ should be leading the playoffs to scorere category (30+, or so). However, for my money, and come the end of the playoff series, Kobe will still stand above all scorers. Go ahead and feel free to bet me.

[OC Dolphin]

It's Durant's world now. James is Bird to Magic's thrown and for the most part, without an ability to drive wins on command.

Wade, is but a footnote. An above average player, but not a top 10 player of all time. Something Kobe is and will be.

[OC Dolphin]

make that - throne. yezz!

[OC Dolphin]

James is .8 points better than Kobe? Please...

http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics

[OC Dolphin]

Sports is filled with players who have had incredible talent, yet not been able to win championships proportional to their dominance. Elgin Baylor, Karl Malone come to mind.

Quite frankly, I'd rather have had Robert Horry's (Will Smith) career than that of James.

[(the real) david in los angeles]

by your logic, john salley is the best player of all time.
you laker fans seem to forget, it's a TEAM game. who cares if kobe is leading all scorers? your team sucks, (they aren't even the best team in town anymore), and i'd take lebron's numbers over kobe's. he's the best passer since magic, and he's the best lock down defender in the league who can play 4 positions. talk to me when brown puts kobe on west the next time you guys play the pacers, and on rose when you're playing the bulls. the MVP is the most valuable player on the team. value, as in points, rebounds, assists, etc.. call me when kobe averages 30 and 10 in the postseason.
in the MVP respect, kobe ain't shyte. sure he makes amazing shots, but he makes NO ONE on the lakers a better player. as for horry, he had 2 by the time he was lebron's age. unfortunately for you lebron haters, he's probably got another 10 years in the league. stop acting like the story of his career has been told.

[(the real) david in los angeles]

you'd rather have horry than lebron? hahahahahahahahaha.

[(the real) david in los angeles]

as for wade...
NBA Champion (2006)
NBA Finals MVP (2006)
8× NBA All-Star (2005–2012)
NBA Scoring Champion (2009)
2× All-NBA First Team (2009–2010)
3× All-NBA Second Team (2005–2006, 2011)
2× All-NBA Third Team (2007, 2012)
3× All-Defensive Second Team (2005, 2009–2010)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (2004)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (2010)
that's not "above average". and when you factor in him having more career blocks than any guard in history, (including the jordan lite kobe bryant), he's a lock for the hall of fame.

[FZB]

OC and David,

I know you guys are on the left coast but don't you guys sleep ?

Baby, Chalmer's is not a point guard, he thinks he is but he sucks, I know we need a center and that will be a priority in the off season but I hope they get rid of him.

LeBron is the best player on the planet and OC he is the leagues MVP.

Baby and I are on the same page as far as game 7, I have no clue who is going to win, I feel a lot better now that Bosh is playing but anything can happen, D wade needs to step up big time Lebron needs help.

dashi, I'm with you on Pittman, how come spoelstra didn't develop him more during the season, just play him 10-15 minutes per game, he is a big body and could be the answer, let us hope he develops this summer.

[I am Kazaam]

Mario Chalmers is the worst point guard in the league, not even a point guard in fact.

But Dexter Pittman has potential as a center if only our horrible coach would play him.

What's the saying? Better to have everyone think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt?

[OC Dolphin]

david,

Check the fine print. I didn't say I'd rather have Horry over James. I said I would rather have had Horry's CAREER over James. The man-child will still have zero rings when June is over. Mark my words.

Look at how the world views Marino. No rings = ho hum.

Also and again, I didn't say Wade was a bad player, one not worthy of a HOF induction. I said that he will not be considered to be in the top 10 of all time. Something Kobe will accomplish.

I'm super glad Miami crushed Boston. I want to witness with my own eyes how three guys climb even higher than they did last night to secure a championship, or how I expect to see, being overmatched by a more talented team in the Thunder.

[OC Dolphin]

FZB,

If James played even most games close to how he played last night, you might have a point saying that. Did we all of the sudden forget on how just a few days ago everyone was calling to trade him!? LeChoke, and all that!????

[OC Dolphin]

btw,

Baylor continues to hold the record for the most points scored in the finals, 61. Those of us who actually watched the guy play will attest to his greatness, yet I guarantee you that few, if any consider him worth remembering, chiefly for having not won a championship.

[Big Baby]

"I'm super glad Miami crushed Boston".

Gee there's a shocker coming from a Laker fan.

Tell us something we already didn't know.

I don't know what this means but it is sort of related to some earlier comments this week.

Interesting factoid anyway from Dan Shaughnessy:

Only one Celtics team has recovered from an 0-2 series deficit; the 1969 fourth-place Celtics. Those old C’s were led by Russell and Sam Jones, both ready to retire. They staggered through the regular season, then came back to beat the Chamberlain-Jerry West-Elgin Baylor Lakers. They beat LA and Father Time, winning Game 7 on the road in the Forum.

[OC Dolphin]

BB,

Don't take it personal. We don't need to rehash the obvious feelings between our two much accomplished teams. I'm simply pulling for the Heat because I do wish to see if Riley's "experiment" delivers on its promise. Or if a younger, equally talented TEAM makes such folly pointless.

I mean, come on. Really. Do you think the Celtics would have had a chance against either the Spurs or the Thunder? Please.

[OC Dolphin]

and anyone who thinks I've got an emotional horse in this race is just mistaken. Once my team is done I could give a flying f***. My interest is purely scientific. Like some Kazaam-type dweeb monitoring the progress of some strain of plankton.

[I am Kazaam]

Beats monitoring pollsters for 17 hours a day at minimum wage bub.

[Mr. Woodcock]

See I told you, he hasn't been back one day and already with the spelling corrections. What's up with that OC?

The only thing LeBron didn't do yesterday was to sell pop corn at half time and wipe after he banged two of the Celtics cheerleaders during half time. The boy dropped an anvil on the chowderheads last night.

[OC Dolphin]

Didn't do it for the money. And you would benefit from witnessing the political process up close. Or do you also confirm your scientific results from afar?

[Mr. Woodcock]

OC, no one gives a rat's ass about spelling mistakes, half of the stiffs that post here need someone to type their comments for them.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Kaz, you would be better off emulating Marcel Marceau.

[Big Baby]

Chowderheads another lame New England reference.

Will they ever end on this blog?

Go back to doing yoga ya' left coaster.

[FZB]

Oye Kaz,

go to hell.

[OC Dolphin]

left, in geographical terms only.

[Mr. Woodcock]

OC, if I didn't know better I would swear that Kazaam was your son. If not he's OC east or you're Kaz west. I do have to give Kaz credit on one thing, at least he's not as anal as you are to waste time with the "Oops ah, gee fellas I meant to say low not blow. Yuk, yuk, yuk, golly gee wiz how'd I do that, yuk, yuk.

"Ah blow it out, OC!"

[OC Dolphin]

FZB, you've got to go easy on Kaz today. Seems even his presidential choice's son is backing the winner.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Oye Dashi, what's with the 20 paragraphs, brother. Less is more. One thing for sure you're not a fellow Kinloch Park Jr. High School alum.

[OC Dolphin]

Woodcock, I dont corect haf of de stuf i needd to coreck.

[OC Dolphin]

next time...I shute my gung

[Mr. Woodcock]

Estas with the correcting this and correcting that and one one gives a crap. Maybe Shadow who is a professor appreciates that but the rest of us couldn't care less. And you know that the Gayturd and Criminole fans who occasionally post here don't even know that you misspelled something.

[Big Baby]

Not for nothing but those schools have decent if not above average academic reputations.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Kinloch Park Jr. High? The best.

[Big Baby]

I think that UF has a good Psychology and Veterinary Program and that FSU has a good Engineering Program.

These are just the ones that I know of there are likely many more.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Big Baby, have you ever been to Tallahassee or Gainesville? Two bigger dumps you will never find. They make Biloxi Mississippi look like Monte Carlo.

[Big Baby]

I have been to Gainesville not Tallahassee.

I thought it looked like a very livable community.

Nice college town.

A nice place to live or raise kids.

I bet it's fun as heck going to school there too.

Alos been to Miami Campus spent a bit of time there.

They are both nice in different ways.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Well if you like Whataburgers, pick up trucks, one tooth smiles, and boiled peanuts Gainesville is your place. Yee Haw!

[Big Baby]

It's like that most everywhere in the South not just Gainesville.

Just a different way of life.

It's rural but being a college town makes it much less of a yahoo town I think.

I can name thousands of places in the South WAY more yee haw than Gainesville Florida.

[Big Baby]

Actually, I can name hundreds of places in New England alone that are more yee haw than Gainesville.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Yea but none of those towns have the oldest state university located there. It's an embarrassment that the University of Florida is located in Gainesville, Florida. The only major university in the United States in a worse location is USC.

[Big Baby]

What would be a better location?

I can't really think of one.

It's a nice college setting there most would agree that have been there I think.

I like living near an urban area but it's not a be all end all or prereguisite to having a nice place for a college.

[FZB]

I've been to both Gainsville and Tally, both places are a dump.

This for "the most interesting man in key biscayne"

I didn't say Pittman was the solution at center I said he could be the solution but Spoulstra didn't play him enough to find out, Chalmers on the other hand just plain sucks, he shouln't even be playing in the NBA.
He is not a very good one on one defender and he is not a very reliable shooter and he can't drive to the basket, other than that he is ok.

I hope I didn't make any typo error's , I don't want the nazi grammar police ( OC ) to get on my case..

[Big Baby]

Some mighty uppity posts on geography here today.

Pittman could be the solution?

Get a grip.

Stop crying both of you we don't have a center either we have a power forward playing there out of necessity.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Miami, Florida.

[Big Baby]

They didn't even have the railroad going to Miami in 18 hundred whatever did they Woodcock?

How the heck would you have proposed they do that?

[I am Kazaam]

FZB - if you had watched enough Heat games this year to see Dexter Pittman play you would know how idiotic you sound.

I don't need to defend Mario Chalmers, basketball fans know he's a middling point guard who's a good fit on this Heat team with his pressure 3 point shooting and the way he plays passing lanes and that he's unlikely to be replaced except by a minimum contract veteran like Nash.

It's just nuts for you to keep crying about him when there's not a center on the roster who's even good enough to complain about. Point guard isn't a problem for the team, point guard isn't the position that's going to be addressed this offseason.

[FZB]

Baby... The Heat don't need a stud center just someone that can play defense and rebound and that can score 8-10 pts per game, Pittman could be that guy, he is young but has potential.

could eventually develop into someone like K Perkins, the old Bulls teams had a couple of guys like that plus they had really good three point shooter's which is what the Heat are lacking, Miller can't stay healthy , Jones doesn't play enough and Chalmer's is too erratic.

[I am Kazaam]

Jesus christ, the Heat were 5th in the league in 3 point shooting this year, Mike Miller was 4th in percentage.

I can't talk to you about basketball FZB, it's like listening to Obama explain supply-side economics.

[Big Baby]

Those Bulls teams mostly had actual good centers bad comparison.

Loved Perk but he was really only good for defense.

Which against most teams was a very good only to have.

He can't really jump.

Chalmers can shoot the three most days.

[FZB]

Yes I do agree that center will be a priority but good centers are never available plus the Heat don't have the cap room/space to make a run at anybody.

You think they are going to break up the big three ? I doubt it, they may have to amnesty Miller and make room that way or make a trade for a lesser talent and if that's the case why not try to develop the young guy ?

tell me who do you think ( realistically ) the Heat can get.

[Mr. Woodcock]

Once Henry Flagler built the railroad they should have moved the university down here to the Magic City. They could have left the veterinary school and the corn growing and moonshine making facilities up there and brought everything else down here.

[FZB]

Oye chico, Why are you talking about Henry Flagler i los trenes ?...que esta pasando ?

Kaz, here are the up to date 3-pt percentages for the Heat for this series.

Miller 38%
Chalmers 36%
Battier 30%
Jones 29 %
Wade 29%
LeBron 28%

I know we where 5th in the league during the season but these are the playoffs and they are not getting it done.

[Big Baby]

Yes a perfectly illogical answer from you Woodcock.

How about a real answer.

Ocala? Jacksonville? Melbourne? How about Everglades City it's at least close to Magic City.

[FZB]

Baby,

If you like Chalmers so much we'll trade him to the C's for Rondo, I think that's a fair deal, don't you?

[Mr. Woodcock]

Dude, where have you been don't you know that The Magic City is the nickname for the city of Miami?

[I am Kazaam]

No basketball fan looks at those numbers and says 'they aren't getting the job done'. Especially for Miller and Chalmers.

The best 3 point percentage team in the league this year was the Spurs, they shot 39% in the regular season, 41% in the post season. It's a hard shot.

[Big Baby]

Yes but it still doesn't answer the question of where (realistically) should UF be other than Gainesville.

That's not a real answer.

[Big Baby]

Gotta agree with Kazaam on this one if you're up around 40 percent shooting the three ball that's very good.

[FZB]

Woodcock..Here show this to Baby, I think it will help.

http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/37/3767/U5OZF00Z/posters/miami-the-magic-city.jpg

Oye, I had the privilege of meeting Al Golden not too long ago and spend about five minutes talking to the guy , just Canes talk in general and let me tell you the guy is impressive, he is a no nonesense type , he is driven and I have all the confidence in the world that he is the right guy to lead us back to the promise land, I also spoke to Art Kehoe and Art loves him says he reminds him of Butch and Jimmy..Can't wait to see the Canes this year.

[Big Baby]

FZB that picture looks from the 1940's or 50's.

Still like the city but magical may be reaching.

When I think Magic City I think Orlando now.

[Big Baby]

Pats just gave Gronkowski what could be worth 55 mil over 8 years.

Welker has to be pissed.

Big Baby, what are you a relative of Jethro Bodine? Are you kidding? Orlando, Florida? The only reason that Orlando is on the map is because Disney bought land there at a penny an acre and built Disneyworld. Before Disney got there Orlando was the armpit of Florida and now 40 years later all the Disney deodorant that you can put on its armpits hasn't changed that. There is only one city int the state of Florida and that's Miami everything else is Mayberry RFD.
