Public Knowledge

Knowledge is the antidote to fear.  -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Public Knowledge:

1.  The New York Knicks.  How low can you go?  First, a jury ruled that Knickerbocker coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed Anucha Browne Sanders.  Then Starbury claims:  “I’m not caught up in winning no ring.”   Then Zach Randolph shows up fatter than Lonnie Shelton.  Dolan needs to go.  Zeke needs to go.  What they have done to that franchise, and in turn to the NBA, is an absolute travesty.  It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham. 

2.  Don’t call it a comeback.  Ok, you can call it a comeback.  Carlos Pena of the Devil Rays and Dmitri Young of the Nationals.  Comeback Players of the Year.  Both cats made it back to the big show as non-roster spring training invitees.  All Carlos Pena did was set club records for bombs, RBIs, walks, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.  He became only the 11th player to collect 100 walks, 45 home runs and 120 RBIs in a single season.  Yowza!  I always liked this guy.  Northeastern University and all.  He also became the first player in Major League history to hit more than 40 home runs the season after being released.  See what happens? 

3.  I can’t wait to see how the Yankees fans and the Yankees media react once the Bombers lose in the playoffs and A-Broad does nothing to help his team.  It’s gonna be rich.  Rich I tell you.  I wanna be rich.  I want money.  Lots and lots of money.  I want the pie in the sky.  I want money.  Lots and lots of money.  So don’t be asking me why.

4.  What a game.  What a game.  A thirteen inning epic.  A thirteen inning epic no one was allowed to watch.  I was.  I have the package.  Lex Luger style.  Matt Holliday is some ball player.  He can play on my team any day.  Trevor Hoffman can’t.  Two blown save in three days.  Three Trevor Hoffman fastballs last night.  Three Rockies extra base hits.  Three runs in the 13th inning to claim victory.  Victory that clinched Colorado’s second ever postseason berth.  Victory that sent the Padres fishing.  Peavy’s fastball was very unPeavylike.  Colorado is playing like the best team in baseball right now.  Not for nothing, why can’t the Mets get themselves a second baseman like Kaz?

5.  If my favorite two words in the English language are Papi’s up, then my favorite three words are Brady to Moss.  Moss had two more TD catches last night.  Moss had 102 receiving yards last night.  Moss now has seven touchdown catches, most in the NFL. Moss has now caught two TD passes in three straight games.  Moss has TD catches in four straight games.  Moss has four straight 100 yard games.  I’ve never seen him drop a pass.  Brady to Moss.  Everybody’s saying it.

6.  Is there a more hated fantasy player than Cadillac Williams?  I learned my lesson last year when I picked him seventh.  I know there are some pissed off cats who learned their lesson this year.

7.  Sociopath:  A person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.  Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others.  Sociopath:  Kobe Bryant. 

8.  Phillies/ Rockies.  This one’s gonna be fun.  The Fightin’ Phills have some mighty big bats.  Some mighty big bats in two mighty small ballparks.  Must see TV.

9.  Roll Sox, roll!

Peace out homies.  Six Two and Even!
