I just got home from the Knicks-Nets Preseason Game and wanted to share some photos.
Yea, I was kinda high up there … (more…)

Goodbye Jeremy Lin and What James Dolan Has Taken From Me
Posted: 07/19/2012 in SportsTags: James Dolan, Jeremy Lin, Linsanity, new york knicks
I am a Knicks fan.
Since the Knicks refused to match Jeremy Lin’s offer sheet I’ve been in a funk. I’ve been light-headed, cranky, and fatigued. Everything has seemed just a little bit off, just a little wrong. Nothing seems to bring me the same joy it did before. I’ll eventually finish mourning and move on, and it’s completely stupid to care this much about a sports team in the first place, but the simple reality is that I do care this much, I’m crushed, and I don’t know if things can ever be the same between me and my team.
Being a fan is a weird experience in the first place . (more…)
Top 6 Reasons Mark Sanchez is Better than Tim Tebow (and always will be)
Posted: 03/22/2012 in SportsTags: football, lists, Mark Sanchez, New York Jets, Tim Tebow
The New York Jets traded for major religious figure and sometimes football player Tim Tebow, today. The Jets are my favorite team. Tebow is my least favorite player. Oh, and I love our current quarterback Mark Sanchez.
The truth is, the two aren’t really in competition. Tebow will come in to be a slash player, not a quarterback. Meaning he’ll run the wildcat and come in as a running back/fullback/tight end, which is a more appropriate role for him. But because of the zealotry of his followers, there will no doubt be calls for him to attempt to be the starting quarterback. Thing is, Mark Sanchez is just plain better than Tim Tebow (at football and at life) and always will be. Here’s why: (more…)
New York Jets, Santonio Holmes, and Nnamdi
Posted: 07/27/2011 in SportsTags: football, jets, nnamdi, santonio holmes
My beloved J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS closed the deal with Santonio Holmes this morning and have a real shot at Nnamdi I’m-not-even-going-to-attempt-to-spell-that-last-name who apparently wants to play for them.
I am shaking with giddiness at the thought of a Revis-Nnamdi secondary.
Also Kellen Clemens signed a deal with the Redskins. I wish him well.
God, I’m so fucking glad football it back.
Loving the NBA is difficult.
It’s the only sport where all fans openly believe the game is somewhat rigged. Unfairness is fully accepted and actually factored into our analysis. So much so that it becomes somewhat loveable.
It becomes one of the quirks. If you truly love the NBA you accept and sort of love the fact that one advantage the Boston Celtics will have in the layoffs over all the other teams in the Eastern Conference is that they will get calls. It’s not even questioned.
That doesn’t happen in other sports. (more…)
Why an NFL Lockout is a GOOD Sign for the Looming NBA Labor Dispute
Posted: 04/06/2011 in SportsTags: David Stern, lockout, nba, nfl
It seems like every new organization is talking about how the breakdown in negotiations in the NFL labor dispute and likely lockout spell doom for the NBA. After all, the NBA has real problems and the NFL lockout has shown the lengths owners will go to have their way. If the great and glorious NFL can’t succeed, surely the messy, scandal ridden, entitled player filled NBA won’t.
The thing that the larger media outfits fail to realize is that this is precisely what makes the NBA more likely to avoid a lockout than the NFL. (more…)
Go New York Go New York Go

Oh my, internet, will your wonders never cease? Here’s the old school 1994 Knicks theme song. A younger me memorized this and all the later versions.
Ah the good ol’ days. I love it. See the 1999 version after the jump. (more…)
Super Bowl Prediction: I Don’t Know
Posted: 09/15/2010 in SportsTags: bullshit, football, nfl, predictions, super bowl
Football season is just around the corner and there is an excitement for the season that I haven’t seen in quite some time. People seem to be salivating at the mere thought of pigskins flying through the air. Visiting a sports bar during the preseason revealed quite the crowd gathered around televisions for each game. For the preseason! Unfortunately the excitement and general happy thoughts that are building with the approach of the season come with a downside: prognosticators. (more…)
Holy Fuck! Hard Knocks Has Started!
Posted: 08/14/2010 in SportsTags: hard knocks, hbo, jets, nfl, rex ryan, video, [you
Hard Knocks has started! And this year it is my beloved Jets under the spotlight! I’m sooooooo excited.
You know what this means don’t you? FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!!!! FOOTBALL IS HERE! This is my most wonderful time of the year. I haven’t watched the first episode yet, but have seen this profanity laden speech given in the beginning by Rex Ryan:
Fuck yes! I love you, Rex. That got me pumped the fuck up, godammit! Let’s fucking do this thing!
J-E-T-S! JETS JETS FUCKING JETS!
Lebron James Is Just Another Miami Douchenozzle
Posted: 07/28/2010 in SportsTags: douchenozzle, lebron james, miami, nba
Well, it seems everyone’s gotten their two cents in about Lebron James, so why not me?
Lebron James is a giant cockbag. I say that as someone who loved him and defended him incessantly less than a month ago. I don’t live in Cleveland and I’m not some belabored moralizing sportswriter either. I’m just a fan of basketball and in an instant I went from loving what I thought was the best player in the game to hating that same man who no longer lives up to that title. (more…)
