Friday Reading


It's Friday, for everyone not named Shawn Chacon, it means you've made it through another week without strangling your boss, so pour yourself another cup of bad coffee and we'll get to the links.


As noted below, Donte Greene was drafted by Memphis and traded to Houston last night, where he will join former Memphis Tiger Joey Dorsey on the Rockets. This story in the Dallas Morning News describes Greene as a great future bet, whereas the Houston Chronicle compares Greene to Rudy Gay. Andy Katz notes that it was a disappointing night for many early entrants.

A full list of draft day trades is available here - good luck keeping up with that.

In Syracuse football news, Axe says charging full price to see Syracuse v. Northeastern is too much. I'll look into my idiotic crystal ball and predict a lot of people show up dressed like empty seats for that one - especially if the weather is good.

In blog-related news, there was a roast for Will Leitch at Deadspin yesterday, and yes, that's right, I did not link directly to Deadspin, just to mess with you.

In golf news, Phil may finally be seizing his opportunity to take out Tiger.

In baseball news, the Yankees are frustrated by rain, and NO ONE bumps Jerry Manuel and gets away with it (Shawn Chacon might want to avoid going to the Mets).

And just so you are aware, it's June, but there are lines for NFL games in September already - sweet. For Eagles fans, here's your betting preview.
UPDATED - The guys who heckle Stephen A. Smith on NBA draft night were back at it again - Awful Announcing has it here.
