SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!

NY Knicks coach/president ISIAH THOMAS is NOT having the Best Week Ever. He just heard the jury's verdict on the sexual harassment case between him and a female Madison Square Garden employee. Let's just say by the expression on his face that it didn't go favorably for him. The jury found him guilty on most counts against him and awarded a punitive damage award of just over $11.6 million dollars, with more to follow.

The questions that are begging to be asked are:

1) Why does he still have a job? As a player, he was unquestionably one of the best point guards ever to play in the NBA. However, as an executive, his track record sucks ass. He ran the show in Toronto when they first came into the NBA and almost sunk that ship before it even started sailing. He coached at Indiana and NBA legend Larry Bird gave him the boot and they were friends. What does that tell you? Hell, he even OWNED the Continental Basketball Association and ran it into bankruptcy!!! Do I need to spell it out for you? He should not have a job as a basketball exec. Period.

2) Where did MSG get their legal team from? Wal-Mart U.? Anyone worth their salt as a lawyer would have said "settle this out of court- we don't need the bad publicity". But no.... leave it up to the legal eagles to kow-tow to James Dolan (I know he pays their salary but he pays for their advice, not to be "yes-men"); and as a result, not only do they have to pay anyway, they look like total incompetent plonkers in the process. On top of that, they have a P.R. nightmare mess that will take years to wash off.

To make matters worse, this opens up the floodgates as they ALREADY have a suit pending against them with a former NY Rangers Skate Girl who's suing them for.... yes, you guessed it: Sexual Harassment. Oof!

3) What in the hell is a female intern doing at SUE'S RENDEVOUZ, anyways? Celebrating her birthday? Are you kidding me? GOLDIE has been to SUE'S and he said that place ain't that kind of party. And he would know.

4) Ain't Marbury married? If so, what is he doing poppin' female interns, let alone one that was dating HIS COUSIN?


5) I know that JAMES DOLAN owns the team, the Garden, etc. , but can he fire himself? Because quite frankly, he's the sole reason that the Garden's rich history has become tarnished for good. Pitiful, pitiful, P-I-T-I-F-U-L! Now that I think about it, this has been a pitiful week for New York sports. First the Mets, then the Jets.... now this.

At this rate, the KNICKS may never win an NBA championship, but they do have a great shot at a Daytime Emmy Award for best Soap Opera.


As our dear friend MR. CHIPS (better known now as BIG BAD BOOTY DADDY) likes to put it: Can a brotha get an "AMEN"?
