The Outsiders
MoMaxe, 1:15 p.m.
You can’t win. You know that, don’t you? It doesn’t matter if you whip us, you’ll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we’ll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn’t matter. Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs. It doesn’t matter. (As I have pointed out before – Darry was a star football player and Ponyboy dabbled in track, lest you think I’m getting off message here).

And speaking of Moses, if you were feeling a need to refresh your memory as to who was the greatest basketball team in NBA history, this half hour should turn the trick nicely by taking you back to the ’83 finals.

Evander Holyfield v. Dwight Qawi
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m.
When I wrote my greatest fights of my lifetime post back in March, I expected to take a lot of guff for leaving out Hagler/Hearns. But instead, all I heard about was Holyfield/Qawi. “Chacon/Limon over Holyfield/Qawi,” they’d say. “You’re retahded.” Well, I’m not going to get back into it now – suffice it to say that I love me some Dwight Qawi, I’m a huge fan of this fight and it is undoubtedly in my top 20. (Note – tonight they’re showing the rematch immediately after the fight, in which Holyfield dominates and stops Qawi in the fourth round.)
