A warning to drivers on Interstate 95

By Jonathan Tannenwald

Hello yet again...

Your Guru has asked me to note here on the blog that he is currently hurrying to Philadelphia International Airport to catch a flight to Pittsburgh, from where he will drive to Cleveland for the Final Four.

He would have been out the door earlier but the news crossed his desk this afternoon that Temple coach Dawn Staley has signed a six-year contract extension. Mel further asked me to note that at least this time he was at his desk instead of at the sushi restaurant in Greensboro, N.C., where he was informed of Rene Portland's departure from Penn State last week.

Mel will see you all in Cleveland, or at least those of you who are going to Cleveland.
