Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter (laughing): "So, Wiz, does nobody check heights around here?"
Tess: "I can call Cassie RIGHT NOW..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Now, Tess, I think that's a good question, and it's got an interestin' answer. We don't bother about height very much."
Tess: "Really?"
Man In The Hat: "Really. And, here's why. Mike Tyson is 5'10". Joe Frazier was 5'10.5". I can make a whole LIST of taller guys who ended up babified on the canvas by Iron Mike and Smokin' Joe. Height is ONE factor in a fight as it speaks to reach, but it's just one. And, good fighters can offset height and reach. Happens in the FCBA every single day. So, no. We aren't worried about it over much."
Tess: "For the first time in a decade, Smackey asked a good question. Who knew?"
Reporter: "HEY!"
Tess: "I might as well ask. What did you think of the rest of the picks?"
Man In The Hat: "I hope you're right, since you picked us to win. I do think you're underestimating Bar. Yes, she's had a bit of a slump, but she's still dangerous. We are not taking her lightly. At ALL. And, here's something ELSE you should never take lightly. Chef's prowess at making his famous stuffed burgers on the grill..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
