Right. And I cheered when Steinbrenner was suspended. Faye Vincent saved the Yankee franchise.

What has Dolan done wrong?

He feeds money to the franchise, he is a willing spender. What do you expect from an owner. Would you rather have an owner who is always looking to cut salary.

Hes not the greatest obvie, but hes def not the worst

That's my point.

What's our record since he took over? The fish rots from the head down.

There was a time where Steinbrenner and Buss had bad records too. And Checketts was no great shakes either. His best move was hiring Riley which was a little lucky.

I'm not saying Dolan is Mr. Basketball but he's not half as bad as this boogie man image he know has. He got a little unlucky hiring Isiah and yeah, he should have known better.

But most important thing about an owner is deep pockets and not meddling. To me, he pretty much does these two things despite his flaws. I've never heard of him overruling his basketball people habitually, or at least not from what we've heard, and we know for sure that he's paid and paid and paid and never refused an expense.

Just saying that he's an easy target and gets too much grief considering everything. It's a little bit of piling on.

Steinbrenner is a total douche too. **** that guy 1000000000 times. And I never talk bad about the dead but he deserves it. Did you see his bronze at the New Yankee Stadium? His bronze is the biggest and it's above Joe Dimaggio and someone else (Mantle maybe). Ego maniac.

Every time you post it seems like you know someone in the front office

I really hope this isn't the end for Donnie.

But let's look at our roster if this deal goes through...

Who will be the cap filler we bring in? Melvin Ely? Balkman?

If he wanted to help the Nuggets out, he should have just signed the damn extension already

Asked Amar'e if trade for Melo guts roster, would there be enough: "I think the combination of us two would be great."

Isiah was not at meeting in LA but he is advising James Dolan. I know, I know, some still refuse to admit it and/or believe it.

You don't have to respect him but the FK is wrong with you saying he deserves to die?

The choice of photo is kind of funny though. Sad but funny.

Glad to see the Knicks are taking this seriously and involving Gallo in the deal....

2/3, the deal a lot of us have been saying we would late in the game as a final 'high' offer, is something I can live with as out last attempt to get him.... Glad to see us making an effort
