GROUNDHOG DAY

When Isiah Thomas finally walks out the door of Madison Square Garden, directly behind him should walk James Dolan, who is the sorriest excuse for a team owner that ever existed.

When asked about his son's disastrous administration of that misbegotten franchise, Big Boss Charles Dolan, was reported to have replied, "I'm too busy to worry about the Knicks."

Sports is part of culture and history, and the Knicks are a cornerstone of the edifice of New York civilization.  They were here before anybody ever heard of the Dolan family, and they'll be here long after that family is forgotten.  The idea that they can be used as a plaything for a useless fatman is enough to inflame even the most sedate sports fan.  You want to find something to amuse useless freakin' James Dolan?  Buy him an erection set!

There is a by-law that says that if a team is mismanaged to the extent of chaos and disintegration by a useless fatman, the NBA can appoint a trusteeship to take over management until stability is restored.  Naturally, the Dolan family would instruct their idiot attorneys, who mismanaged the Anucha Browne-Sanders lawsuit, to file a motion in court to block such a move, so the only thing for scandalized New Yorkers is to wait until the team is such a pathetic joke that the Dolan family eventually loses interest in being portrayed as buffoons and decide to sell.  But by then the rest of us will be in Bellevue psycho ward, having been driven crazy from watching the Titanic crash over and over again, a basketball version of "Groundhog Day" that re-runs endlessly until we repent for our sins.

New York is the story of the blind men and the elephant.  Depending what part you are touching, that is what the animal resembles.  For me the Knicks is America on a small scale.  In New York you got the Knicks and in the U.S. you got the disastrous economy; in New York you got spoiled, lazy fatman James Dolan, and in the U.S.  you got spoiled lazy idiot rich kid Bush; James Dolan hires Isiah Thomas because nobody likes to hire somebody smarter than he is; Bush got a whole gang of losers and dummies.

"Groundhog Day," that's what life is right now.  Fall on your knees and repent!
