Barry Melrose Looks A Little Medium Rare

ESPN's hockey hair'd expert makes the most of his air time and usually impresses all the non-puckheaded fans with his palatable presentations about a sport only a handful of ESPN viewers understand or care about. Come playoff time, though, it's a different story, as you have to step-up the camera-ready polish so you don't terrify the new viewers suddenly intrigued by this sport they've ignored the last seven months. Next time Melrose should probably turn the tanning bed settings to medium well.
