5/15/08 Maybe it's just me, but the Knicks hiring of Mike D'Antoni to be the new head coach of their mess of a basketball team reminds me of a New York hiring some 13 years ago. It was another big name New York franchise pairing up with manager who was immediately labeled as… Read

We heard the hype: Don Cherry's coming to ESPN! A Canadian institution... what till you get a load of Cherry, he's unlike anything you've seen...Now I've seen him. With a wardrobe like Elton John and a voice like Burgess Meredith (you know that guy in Rocky Balboa's… Read
