I’m not a Knicks fan and the last time they really mattered, John Starks was dunking a game winner over Jordan and Grant in the 1993 playoffs. However, what are the Knicks thinking right now? The rumor is they are considering buying out Larry Brown’s 40 million dollar contract after just one season and having Isiah Thomas return to the sidelines. I gotta say that if that happens, someone needs to have the Knicks owner Jim Dolan pee in a cup. Its his and Isiahs fault that the Knicks suck so bad to begin with. Who builds a team around Marbury (aka Starbury)? Marbury, as good as he thinks he is, has one career highlight - a bank shot game winner against the Spurs a few years ago in the playoffs, a series in which his Suns team lost. One career highlight…One… In sixty years my bet is that the average basketball historian will remember guys like Kelly Tripuka or John Koncak more readily than Starbury. With the wake this guy leaves behind each time he gets traded, he should be called Scarbury instead of Starbury (Just ask KG).
With respect to Isiah, he no doubt was a great player (I admit it and I couldn’t stand him), but his post playing days resume has been a train wreck. This guy has bombed everywhere. Then add perenial under achiever Steve Francis, its a text book recipe for disaster. If you are a Knick fan and you thought this year sucked, you haven’t seen anything yet. Exactly what kind of pie are they trying to bake in Madison Square Garden?
If Mr. Dolan is hell bent on dumping Brown, I think he should go for broke. Instead of buying out Larrys contract, trade him for Darius Miles. See if Rodman is still interested in playing. Appeal to the NBA big whigs to get the Birdman (Chris Andersen) back and in a Knicks uniform. I heard T.O. plays hoops too, give him a call.

P.S. I would like to thank the marketing guys over at Hanes for putting Kevin Bacon and Michael Jordan together in a commerical. Taking a quote from Captain Dude, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
P.P.S. I wouldn’t want to be Rasheed Wallace right about now.
I have a real knack for writing childrens stories. This is one I plan to submit to the Little Golden Books publishing company. “Todd and the Space People” One night while looking out his bedroom window, Todd saw a small blue spaceship land in the woods behind his house. Immediatley Todd got up and decided he wanted to go get a closer look. Figuring that a long trip would make anyone hungry, Todd gathered some food from the kitchen cupboard to bring to the space people. He put one jar of peanut butter, one jar of jelly, and a loaf of bread in a paper bag and ran out the back door and into the woods. Todd slowly walked up to the small blue spaceship so as not to scare the space people. Once Todd got close to the door on the spaceship, it opened and three strange creatures came out. The strange creatures were like nothing Todd had ever seen. They were yellow and had three legs, one arm, and their heads were square with an eye in the middle. The tall one had a red eye, the short one had a brown eye, and the middle one had a black eye. The tall one reached out and shook Todd’s hand while the other two unloaded a few items from the space ship. Todd was really happy when the space people began to sing and dance. Upon hearing all the noise from the woods, many of Todd’s neighbors became scared. Several of the men got together and decided to go and see what was causing the raucous . Todd saw the men approaching the space people. He could tell they were angry and scared. The space people stopped singing and dancing because they were also terribly frightened. Todd explained to his neighbors that the space people were harmless. At that moment the space people began to sing and dance again. Todd’s neighbors joined in the fun too! After several hours of singing and dancing, one by one Todd’s neighbors left until he was once again alone with the space people. “What a night I’ve had” Todd thought to himself. Todd then prepared to say his goodbyes. Todd told the space people goodnight and wished them a a safe journey back home. As Todd turned to walk away, the tall one grabbed his hand while the other two grabbed his legs. The space people then barbecued Todd. The short one made a handbag out of skin taken from Todd’s Torso. The End.

Me and Teddy from Just-Teddy.com went to lunch the other day with a buddy of ours. I have known Ted for about three years now and nothing he does or says really surprises me anymore (I don’t mean anything bad by that, he’s just an open book). Honestly, if we were hanging out and a monkey flew out his butt I probably wouldn’t bat an eye lash. However, Ted did something the other day that actually did suprise me. After lunch at Mcallisters in Turkey Creek, our small posse decided to walk to the pet store across the parking lot so Ted could get himself some sort of chew toy for his new German Shepard. Anyway, fast forwarding a bit, when we were leaving the pet store I noticed Ted no longer had the Gargantuan drink his Tankass had when we first walked in. When queried about the said drink, Ted replied that he had left it on a shelf in the aisle we just departed. He continued to say that thats what the folks who work there get paid to do. I have nothing really else to add to the story, but I’m kinda curious about how many of you drink dumpers are out there? Is pop chucking a unique activity practiced only by TD?
