IT'S FINALLY HERE

For some retarded reason, the YES network, you know the channel about all thing Yankees, is showing an old man mumble talk about sports instead of showing the 1st game of the year. But thanks to Peter Abraham, you can follow his live-blog. And would you look at that, first Yankees spring at-bat of the season, and our excellent center fielder Brett Gardner just homered. Who said he has no power?

YouTubes of the Day

It's official. The man who once claimed to be the best point guard in the NBA is no longer a Knick. I'll never forget the day we got him, and I'll never forget his time here and the massive disappointment these 5 years have been. And of course, who knows what could've been if he was given a real chance to play in the D'Antoni offense. It's not like we told him to get in shape because we would need him (which he did, as he came to camp in the best shape of his career).

I don't know, I'm very torn about the whole thing. On the one hand, you have a guy who some of his teammates hate and some love, who has had plenty of issues on and off the court. On the other hand however, you have one of the most talented point guards ever, a guy who made putting up 20 points and 8 assists a game look easy, and could get to the rim at will.

I guess I should hate him, but when he goes to Boston and reunites with Kevin Garnett, it'll be hard for me to root against that team, with one of my favorite players reuniting with my favorite player of all time, plus the whole old Timberwolves of the '90s reunion. And you know I love the '90s. I don't know, the whole thing just feels weird.

Anyways, here now, some highlights from his time as a Knick.

So Far, So Good

Today was our first new practice with our brand spanking new coach. The one thing I took out of that article was how he isn't letting anyone step on the logo on the floor in the locker room. As someone who won't even dribble on the Knicks logo when playing on NBA Live, I wholeheartedly support this decision. Not to say this is why Renney should've been fired, and definitely not to say that Sather should be blame-free, but so far I'm lovin the new guy.

I feel bad I skipped out on Random Crap Monday, so to make up to you guys, 2 YouTubes of the Day! Here you go:

Good Times and Good Times!

So remember a couple of weeks ago how I said I was getting sick of writing good times and bad times posts and wanted to be able to have a day of good times and good times? WOOHOO!

Good times #1:


Goodbye to you sir, along with the horrible assistant coach Perry Pearn whose great power play strategies gave our shorthanded opponents better scoring chances than us.

And welcome back stranger:


While he went 0-3-1 in his first stint with the Rangers, I am very pumped about the John Tortorella Era, Part 2. I like my coaches fiery, more Bill Cowher-like than Wade Phillips. Torts plus Avery's return should equal good times.

And in good times #2:

There was really no need for this game to be so close, but Nate's a freaking beast and I'll take a win any way I can get it.

SLUMDOG!!!

1st of all, I went 13 for 24 on the picks, not bad when you realize I only saw like 3 relevant movies. One of those movies of course is the one which I immediately declared best movie of the year, and sure enough, lookie lookie what 2008's Best Picture is (not to mention the movie that won 8 of the 24 Oscars).

Here now, your YouTube of the Day:
