I think it's a joke he got suspended. However, he put the Marlins in a bad spot. Economically, they had few options.

I hadn't heard that about Ozzie but I'm guessing he didn't read Chapter 1 of "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

Ain't it great though: Mets 3-0! Long may it last. On the AL side, I saw that the Yankees rested Jeter either on Saturday or Sunday. Isn't it a little early for that unless they wanted someone else to get a start at SS. Wonder if Dan is paying attention to the Sox. I'm assuming he's sticking to his guns. If they go in tank in this year, it could get ugly with Bobby V.

Rangers managed to overcome a little skid and put away the Penguins when it looked like they were about to take the top spot. They also have a shot at best record in the league.

I've listened to it a couple of times. Very enjoyable. Money well spent.

From what I can tell on tv, looks like a beautiful stadium, much better than where they have played. Uniforms are pretty ugly but I guess we'll get used to them. Mets season starts tomorrow. Can't be any worse than the pre-season. I think they finished at 9-20. Jason Bay had 0 RBIs. That is not a typo.

This sounds like a scene out of Sleeper.

Man, where were these women when I was part of the Chess Club in high school?

I wouldn't give you ten cents for either of them. As far as the Yanks, why not? Through their sports station, YES, they are pulling in incredible amounts of money, plus there is marketing, etc. I'm not sure they're worth $5 Billion but they are worth quite a bit of money.

The lead eventually increased to 39 but then the Magic roared back going on a 19-0 run (after the Knicks had gone on a 21-0 run). However, they had spent their magic so to speak and Knicks won by 24. Howard a non-factor. Melo busting it on D and just a great win overall.

Knicks are kicking some serious butt tonight, leading the Magic by 37! as the 3rd Q winds down.

I just received an email from the Times indicating that for non-subscribers you will only be allowed to view 10 articles on their website as opposed to the existing 20, beginning April 1.

Thanks for the link. I don't know about the rest of you but I've started to look at Twitter less. Information overload I think.

Couldn't agree more. When a player is gone from my team, I don't follow him anymore. Fantasy sports has been around for awhile. Before the internet age, back in the mid 80s fans would call up radio stations asking how so and so did and the hosts would read off stats so people could update their leagues.

He's checking with the NFLPA as to what they can do.

If you need information for tax reporting, you're better off going to the company's transfer agent. You could probably create an account quickly and they could then generate a 1099 DIV in seconds.

The NFL Channel has someone who just covers fantasy football and they treat it very seriously. I've often turned to my son and said is this for real?

I had heard of her but not much. Music seems pleasant enough but doesn't really float my boat, as they say.

I suppose it was all inevitable unless Anthony cooperated and he wouldn't and he probably knew he could do what he wanted to do since it was the owner who had pushed the trade over the objection of Donnie Walsh. All the players were on the same page with D'antoni except the one that mattered. Well, Anthony got what he wanted and if the thing blows up in his face, then he will have to be held accountable. However, with Dolan you never know. Just goes to show you what happens when Daddy gives you gifts (Madison Square Garden, Knicks and Rangers) you didn't earn on your own.

Linsanity has left the building. In today's Times, Howard Beck writes that "D’Antoni left the building Wednesday, taking his speedy, free-flowing offense with him. His replacement, Mike Woodson, is an old-school coach and Larry Brown disciple who emphasizes defense, ball control and isolation play." He concludes that none of this bodes well for Lin. See Linsanity Has Left the Building. The talk is that soon Lin will be relegated to a back up roll. Although the wisdom can be analyzed in basketball terms, from a p.r. point of view it's not a positive for the NBA as his story had brought back a lot of fans and made some new ones and if he's shunted aside, those people may disappear.

All the players were on point with D'Antoni except Melo. He broke plays so he could do his thing. An incredibly selfish person. Another big problem is the owner. As long as he is the owner the Knicks will never win. The team is owned by Charles Dolan, owner of Cablevision. He gave it to his kid James to run, who has screwed it up. Donnie Walsh cleaned up the mess but James Dolan forced the Melo trade and then forced out Walsh. D'antoni's days were numbered when that happened. Melo is just a scum.

The rumors are already starting. Can't see Jackson coming though.

Since Melo returned to the lineup, the team has been dysfunctional and any progress they made has gone up in smoke: losing streak is at 6. Moreover, the coach, Mike D'antoni, and his star player, Carmelo Anthony, detested each other. Today D'antoni quit. Another case of the lunatics running the asylum.

Been a long time since I heard that name. Hope you're well wherever you are.

That's pretty funny!
