This reads like a NY Knicks press release.ncaafannie wrote:Linsanity 2012 is officially here with breakout NBA star Jeremy Lin taking center stage in the pro basketball world. He's been playing great, and most of all, the Knicks are winning. With his on-court play and unselfish demeanor, the Knicks are blessed to have good point guard along side their two star Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.

Can't really believe all the gooks that are taking up round ball these days. When I was a kid they just showed up on cereal boxes and the like..
Yup, this answers the Linsanity issue:reslodi wrote:a wonderful last-second three-pointer!! like a miracle since being the starter!
And to make it even more interesting was Dantoni called for a ISOLATION PLAY and this was his 6th game of his career.Only established stars get ISO PLAYS like that.reslodi wrote:a wonderful last-second three-pointer!! like a miracle since being the starter!

ESPN is apologizing over this caption
ESPN Apologizes For ‘Chink In The Armor’ References
Long Island Press ^ | February 18, 2012 | Derek Johnson
ESPN has issued not one, but two apologies after an “offensive” reference was used on its mobile website and on television, concerning the play of Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin.
The first apology came after angry fans and readers caught a headline that appeared on ESPN’s mobile site after Linsanity came to an end—for one day—when the Knicks lost to the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.
So after the Knicks disappointing loss to the 7-23 Hornets, an offensive headline appeared on ESPN’s mobile site that read “Chink In The Armor.”
It was the first loss the Knicks suffered since coach Mike D’Antoni inserted Jeremy Lin into the starting rotation.
The headline went up with a story just after 2 a.m. on Saturday and was on the site for nearly 40 minutes.
But fans and other readers caught site of the headline and the reaction led to ESPN issuing this apology:
“Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake.”
But that wasn’t all.
The “Chink In The Armor” reference was also used on television when an ESPN anchor dropped that line during an interview with Walt Clyde Frazier after the Knicks’ blowout victory over the Sacramento Kings earlier this week.
This led to another apology from ESPN:
“Wednesday night on ESPNEWS, an anchor used an inappropriate word in asking a question about Jeremy Lin. ESPN apologizes for the incident, and is taking steps to avoid this in the future.”
And the conspiracy goes deeper than that. Santorum, Palin, and the Catholic Church take orders from the Almighty himself,Tim Tebow.The NBA has rigged the games to make him look good. Rick Santorum is behind this conspiracy...and the Catholic Church ... and Sarah Palin.

People anymore are so over PC and so worried that they might offend one person.
Quoting Ursus from many lunch conversations " Bunch of **** pussies these days. These people should all be ashamed of themselves. "

Don't be like that. Tell me why it is so awful? It must be because ESPN fired the writer, suspended a news anchor for 30 days and has issued 3 apologies.Ivytalk wrote:OK, grizza. You win.grizzaholic wrote:
