I Don't Even Hate the Knicks Anymore

The NY Knickerbockers are currently sporting a 4-8 record. A .333 winning percentage.

Watching from about age 12 - 22 was a lot of fun. They never won it all, largely because of Michael Jordan's dominance, but they were always a gritty team you could get behind.

Starting with the Patrick Ewing trade it all went downhill. Mostly because of awful cap management (seriously, Scott Layden could work in George W's budget office) but also due to draft picks like that French guy Frederic Weiss, they began a rather quick decline.

The last few years, I have found myself filled with hatred for them. Last year's early optimism was only cause for more loathing.

At this point, I'm all frustrated out. They suck. The players suck, the coach sucks, the GM sucks (and the last two are the same person) - but most of all, and most importantly the owner sucks.

They're terrible, there isn't much sign of a brighter future as long as Isiah and Dolan are there.

Marbury is an asshole, I thinkwe can all agree, and this back-court of him and Francis isn't working.

I don't even watch anymore. They're a boring and shitty team. I sort of find myself hoping they'll just be terrible this year so we can fire Isiah and get rid of these asshole, except for the second team, which is pretty fun to watch (Lee, Robinson and Balkman).

I'm at the point, where I'm not even mad anymore - and some of you probably remember my Allan Houston rant of '05.

New York Knicks, meet apathy. Apathy, New York Knicks. I hope you get along, as you will most likely be spending some quality time together.

My New Favorite Website

Is PerezHilton.com

It's a fun blog/website. Perez Hilton is, a gay spanish dude from Miami. I assume he lives in L.A. now but wherever he lives he's pretty entertaining as a mid-day procrastination tool for a few reasons:

1. He updates his site numerous times a day. It seems like once an hour or two there is a new story on there.
2. He often breaks the celebrity gossip 'news' first. The term news is used rather lightly, of course.
3. He's mean. Let's admit it, seeing someone funny make fun of someone else (assuming it's not us) is often quite entertaining. Perez, for some reason hates Jennifer Aniston, Kirsten Dunst and various other celebrities. He outs people a lot. He accuses people of using drugs and doing all kinds of stuff.
   
4. He doesn't censor himself at all. Come on, don't you want to see Lindsay Lohan's vagina? (Keep scrolling down.)
   

You looked, didn't you? Thought so.

Us Weekly, used to be my favorite gossip site, but Perez is definitely better.

Salvaging whatever manhood I have left after the above, Bill Simmons is probably the best writer/blogger around. He's dope. He'll start off talking about the Giants or whomever and go into a prolonged analytical discussion about Seinfeld or a comparison of Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. Highly interesting. Unfortunately, though, he only writes about two columns a week.

Jumping back to more conventional print, last week was John Tierney's, a columnist for the New York Times last op-ed column. He wrote the he is resigning because he wanted to go back to the Science Times section. Yeah, OK John. In any case, good riddance to him. He was horrendous. He was supposed to fill in as a conservative voice when William Safire retired. Turns out he was just a boring pussy. I'd much rather see a real conservative that makes me think, personally. I don't think they've picked a replacement yet. It will be interesting to see that choice.

Hey, John - Fucking Go Away!

Will John Kerry, please just shut the fuck up?

John, you lost. You had it handed to you on a golden platter and you voted against it, before you voted for it.

Yesterday, Kerry said something to the effect of: "Study and get good grades or else you'll end up stuck in Iraq". Now, apparently, he mangled a joke that was meant to say essentially, "Study hard or you'll end up getting us stuck in Iraq". A coworker of mine told me he heard the whole speech and there it was pretty clear as to what he meant despite the poor joke-telling. Even still, Kerry has managed to give the Republicans and Bush a sound bite to harp on just as they are poised to lost Congress. However, in this sound-bite world it really doesn't matter. This will play out in thousands of voters minds as John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for President said that soldiers are dumb."

Now, John, I know you didn't mean to do anything wrong but FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!!!

FUCKING GROW A BEARD, GO TEACH SOME GRADUATE COURSES FOR FIVE YEARS AND COME BACK AS AN ELDERSTATEMEN!!!

John, it's over. Fucking know when to fold ' em.
