The Dangerfields

'Momma said, "Don't give up. It's a little complicated."'

Tom Brady had a massive chip on his shoulder. Drafted at number 199, he never got over it, still seeking to prove himself, seven NFL championships later.  

Rodney Dangerfield had no respect since childhood

Melrose might have a respect problem in some parts. 3 losses to the number one teams in their divisions (Westborough, Newton North, Frontier) and a fourth to the #3 ranked team below. Here are the final Boston Globe volleyball rankings. 


Maybe Melrose should be the "Dangerfields." They're not alone. Westborough falls in the same category as "Atlantis." The top team in the state can't even make the Globe list. 

Melrose shut out both #9 Duxbury and #14 Winchester and still lands at #17. At least they moved up from #19 to #17 with a Division 2 sectional title. 

Of course, it could be worse. Maxpreps.com has their proprietary system that ranked Melrose #23. Use the chip on your shoulder.
