Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Confesses

In a shocking turn at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Al-Qaida's #3 has accepted responsibility for planning and executing the demise of the New York Knicks.

From his written admission: I planned the demise of this once great franchise from A-Z. After the loss in the 1999 Finals to the San Antonio Spurs I was filled with hatred at the joy New Yorkers received watching this team succeed. I immediately began infiltrating their operation, using the financial backing of Saudi royalty to sway James Dolan to our cause. I used my influence to get Frank Layden in at GM, leading to the decision to draft Frédéric Weis over hometown favorite Ron Artest.

I did not want to be too overt in my destruction, allowing the organization to plod along. Eventually, when enough old warriors on the team left and were replaced with boring, untalented players, we drove the admired and respected Van Gundy to leave the team in early 2001. At this point, my plan to devastate the Knicks went full throttle. My influence led to the hiring of Al-Qaida operative Don Chaney as head coach and directly led to the acquisitions of Shandon Anderson and Howard Eisley. With the mangling of the Knicks salary cap complete, the teams' power was rendered obsolete and their annihilation was forth-coming.

When the American public fought back and cried for change, Scott Layden was made the scapegoat of the operation in 2003. Little did they know, I planned for someone more menacing and hating of New Yorkers to take their place. Fresh off his success of destroying the CBA, Mohammad Atta, I mean, Isiah Thomas (who has disliked America since being left off the Dream Team), was named GM and President of team operations. Lenny Wilkens was brought in to help lead the sheep to slaughter. New Yorkers followed a mediocre team to the playoffs that year, where they were embarrassingly swept in the first round.

Courtesy of my ingenious management of the Knicks salary cap and draft picks thru trades and signings (Jerome James, Malik Rose, Jalen Rose, Steve Francis, Penny Hardaway, Jerome Williams, Maurice Taylor, Eddy Curry), the team would not have any hope of improving. The following season was wonderful, highlighted by Lenny Wilkens being run out of town. That was followed up with an ensuing circus, bringing in Larry Brown to coach a dreadful team with a ridiculous contract to further humiliate New Yorkers. That horrible team actually underachieved with a 23-59 record and the leagues highest payroll. Larry Brown was bought out and Isiah has been placed in full control as GM and Head Coach and now with news that he has a multi-year deal to ruin the team, George W Bush said it best, "Mission Accomplished!".

Wow, that's great news. Maybe now they can make some changes and put Isiah and Dolan in prison where they belong.

The T-Shirt Says It All

Now I have to admit I am not an expert in the rules of evidence (I'm still taking the class right now in law school), but I don't believe she can admit the statement on her shirt as testimony on her behalf.

Jerramy Stevens Tries Out Medicinal Marijuana and Booze Combo

In an attempt to cure his affliction of stone hands and lack of work ethic, the Seattle Seahawks's Jerramy Stevens has turned to the one tried and true medicinal combo.......the sticky icky and booze. Unfortunately for Stevens, the police don't look to kindly upon the use of these herbal remedies when the patient is driving, resulting in Stevens's arrest early Tuesday morning.

Stevens will be crushed to learn that you also can't use ganja to cure the pain from knees to the bizallsack.

Silent Library

Japanese game shows are unbelievably entertaining.....this show is called Silent Library, and the premise is pretty simple. Six guys sit at a table in a library, six cards are dealt onto the table face down, 5 of them are "safe cards" and the 6th one requires the guy who drew it to face the consequence listed on the sign that they flip over. Whoever draws the 6th card is supposed to just endure whatever happens to him while remaining silent.

I know...it sounds contrived, but it is hysterical.

(Oh, and that isn't a really tan Japanese guy, it is Ernesto Hoost, a K-1 kickboxer.)

The Limitations of the Internet

The internet is great for online shopping, current news stories, email, chat rooms, etc., but there are certain limitations to the content that is available on it. For example, you simply cannot find a video of a French tailor jumping off of the Eiffel Tower in order to test an overcoat that he built that was supposed to double as a parachute.

Oh wait, never mind, you can find that....oh you glorious internet!! You never cease to entertain me!!

Really? This is "evident progress"?

Looks like Isiah Thomas will be getting a multi year contract extension. Apparently 29-34 is considered "edident progress" by Jimmy Dolan. And here I thought the cable guy who hooked up our cable by drilling holes haphazardly into the walls, moldings and the aluminum siding of the house was just a lazy bastard, turns out he was angling for a promotion.

Isiah Thomas Has Compromising Photos of Jim Dolan and a Horse

The only possible explanation for Isiah Thomas's multiyear extension is that he has some evidence that Jim Dolan is a fan of human/equine lovemaking. There has been an improvement between last season's squad and the 2006-2007 version, but this hardly qualifies as clear and convincing evidence that Thomas is the right guy for this job.

He drafts well. That is it.....that is the only accolade that I can bestow upon Zeke with any certainty at all. He is still the king of awful contracts, dumb trades, and dumb non-trades (buying out expiring contracts instead of trading them). Oh, I forgot, he is also awesome at sexual harrassment. I want to make sure he gets credit for that.

Hopefully Dolan comes to his senses and realizes that his love for all things horsey is no longer a taboo subject in our society. If he wants to make sweet love to a horse, that is his business, but he doesn't need to foist Thomas upon us in order to make penance for it.
