Red Sox Nation News

Bad News: Last night the Red Sox completed the most profound September swoon in baseball history.

Good News: This morning Red Sox Nation announced that they will now be able to hold their annual convention at the Salem, Massachusetts Taco Bell. Not only will there be ample room for the Red Sox "faithful" but it also provides the perfect venue for the upcoming post-season witch hunt.

Best News: To the delight of attendees, the convention is scheduled to coincide with the Salem Art(of)ichoke Festival.

Glad That's Cleared Up

NCAA president Mark Emmert says he is concerned about the perception that money is driving the current conference realignment decisions and stated "This is not the NFL, the NBA, its not a business. I thinks what came across is that all we care about is money and what we can do to our advantage."

Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim, trying to clarify statements by SU chancellor Nancy Cantor about SU bailing on the Big East and signing on with the ACC, said the Orange would never play an ACC home game in New York City. "With the football package it (playing in New York) might be the only way to get Notre Dame to play, and you make more money there." said Boeheim. "If we're playing Duke...you're not going to take the Duke game out (of the Carrier Dome). "If Duke comes here we're going to make more money playing here than in New York City."

Its good to know that money is not driving the decisions.
