Today’s story comes to us from Auburn native Pete Goodelle of New Hartford. I received this nice message from him just before Christmas and I thought you would enjoy this
Herewith a somewhat jumbled series of reminiscences and observations on things Blue from yesteryear.
Tarkenton told me that one pass play was called Giants Special; a deep fly (meaning post).
The city of Syracuse will receive $123 million from the federal government as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 signed into law in March.
The act totaled $1.9 trillion. As part of the lawâs provisions, it will infuse state, county and municipal governments with hundreds of billions of dollars to help them recover from the economic effects of the novel coronavirus.
So itâs good that Syracuse will be able to use this money. The funds will amount to about half the cityâs annual budget.
But one item prioritized by officials is raising eyebrows, and for good reason. The Syracuse Common Council voted 6-3 on May 10 to spend $75,000 on a mural depicting four legendary basketball players from Syracuse: Manny Breland, Earl Lloyd Jr., Dolph Schayes and Breanna Stewart.
