Hump Day Reading - Melrose Style


Ah Wednesday, you cruel evil day of the week - offering just enough hope that the weekend is near, yet injecting enough reality to know that until we hit noon, the week isn't even half over. Let's get to some reading shall we?

The Syracuse men's basketball team has a new member, full Post Standard coverage is here. On the football side of things, the Southeast Sports Blog relives the SU-Tennessee game of 1998, we were in the dome that day and IT WAS A BOGUS PASS INTERFERENCE CALL.

In NFL news, apparently Ray Lewis has failed to pay for some "hostesses" he hired for his SuperBowl party - come on Ray, I thought you were trying to avoid the law these days.....

In Major League Baseball developments, losing is getting old for the Phillies....about a 100 years old I'd like to add (thank you, I'll be here all week) whereas the sad sack Mets can't even beat the Mariners, and the Yankees got hammered by the Pirates, as Johnny Damon hurt his foot.

Links wouldn't be complete without a tribute to Barry Melrose, who will be coaching again in the NHL. I met Barry in a bar in Saratoga last summer and honestly, he's a really good guy, even with the shorter summer mullet he was sporting.

Round 2 of Iron Ref is up and running, make sure you get over there and voice your opinion.

And whatever you do, don't miss WNBA history - its historical.....and stuff.

Was it really only 10 years ago that Syracuse was playing in a BCS game? Boy how times change.

it's amazing that the bottom can fall out so quickly, yet it takes so long to rise back up......of course with the current leadership.....ugh
