LETTERMAN'S TOP TEN: From last night's "Late Show," the Top
Ten Orlando Magic Excuses: 10) Didn't want game five, we're
going to see "Batman Forever"; 9) Sometimes being too tall makes
you kinda dizzy; 8) Can't prove it, but pretty sure one of the
refs was a brother of one of the Rockets or something; 7) Too
busy tying yellow ribbons 'round old oak trees (that's a Tony
Orlando excuse); 6) Couldn't concentrate after hearing Michael
and Lisa Marie actually do it; 5) In a perfect world, Connie
would still be doing CBS News; 4) Ran out of Gatorade and had to
use bugs and rainwater; 3) Anfernee Hardaway didn't score enough
bafkets; 2) Yeah, like we want to go to the White House and get
our ass shot at; 1) What do we care, we're already in
Disneyworld! ("Late Show," CBS, 6/15).
