James Dolan Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Make Decisions
If you knew nothing about what has become of the New York Knicks (a once proud and successful franchise) over the last decade or so, you would certainly have been stunned to discover that they elected to try their luck in court during the messy Anucha Browne Sanders trial this summer.
The logical (and obvious) move would’ve been to settle out of court and shut this thing down before the ravenous NYC media got a hold of it and made you out to look even stupider than you really are. Of course, we’re dealing with the James Dolan-led Knicks; logic is apparently against company policy.
According to a report in the NY Daily News, Isiah Thomas and others in the MSG hierarchy wanted to settle the matter out of court, but Dolan decided against it:
According to a source close to the case, Thomas, his attorneys and a Garden official felt a settlement would spare Thomas and the Knicks an embarrassing trial that could cost the franchise more than just monetary damages.
The one dissenting voice, however, was the only voice that mattered.
“Jim didn’t want to settle,” said the source.
Genius!
In other Knicks news: Rev. Al Sharpton (why does his opinion matter again?) is undecided as to whether or not he’ll protest their games. And after hearing of Marbury’s vow to shoot the basketball an ungodly amount of times this season, Isiah warns his point guard to find the target early and often.
(By the way, the Knicks kick off their season tonight in Cleveland. I’m giddy.)

Seriously, I want the Knicks to be good. But I just can’t see it happening. Can you still get those ‘Duck Folan’ T-shirts. I’d love to wear one to the game.

Dog the Bounty Hunter can take care of Isiah for good, if given the chance. And since he has alot of free time now, he probably could.

eboy…that is the best thing i’ve heard in a while…if you make it happen, i’ll try to find a way to get david lee, or whoever you want to the Heat. Whereas I know he’s our best player, I’d rather get rid of dolan and start anew than let D-Lee go to waste…holla atcha boy

From the sound of the audio clip, Dog could’ve handled the Anucha Browne-Sanders case for them as well.

Bodie, I’m not sure. Dog’s got alot of mace and n***a hate. Damn, I really liked his show, too. Fuc*ing dummy.

Now Nate Robinson and Dog? That might be a good one. Leaving the mace out of it, my $ is on Nate.

Thanks Marcel, when Thomas suggests settling he should know, he was the main actor.

James Dolan shouldn’t be allowed to pick his own flavor of ice cream. He just makes bad decision after bad decision. And I would definitely take Nate in any sort of brawl. Napoleonic complex always prevails.

Alex is short, too.

Sharpton’s opinion matters because websites keep linking to stories in which he offers it, Mutoni. You big dummy.

Wasn’t this year’s team supposed to be focusing on defense? Or was that only in court, not on it?
