another season going downhill fast...


The 6-foot-9, 288-pound Coleman, who has started all 20 of the sixth-ranked Orange's games this season, is expected to miss four weeks. He was averaging 5.0 points and 4.3 rebounds.
Coleman injured the knee in practice before Syracuse's game at Villanova on Saturday. He started, but played only 7 minutes in a 75-71 overtime loss. He played 7 minutes the previous game, a 57-55 home win over Cincinnati.
With Coleman out, Syracuse (18-2, 6-1 Big East) is down to seven scholarship players. Senior forward James Southerland has missed the past four games after being declared ineligible on Jan. 12.
Coach Jim Boeheim has said he is hopeful that Southerland can return to the team, but there is no time frame.

Fourteen years ago, Andy Reid linked his fate to Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb, drafting him with the No. 2 pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. Reid and McNabb had plenty of success together in the years that followed for thePhiladelphia Eagles.

off to a good start


justified season four underway

The dialogue in the first two episodes of the new season crackles with brilliance. Even the most casual exchange between Raylan and Bob, or Boyd and the nefarious Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) manages to be elaborately florid and completely credible at the same time. In fact, hearing just a bit of dialogue from "Justified" makes actors from other TV shows just sound like actors saying their lines.
