Isiah Thomas being removed of his coaching duties by the Knicks would likely not rank in top 100,000. I'm not sure whether it was the 56-108 record accumulated. Or the bazillion dollar payroll that's produced more players bought out (see Rose, Jalen), dead weight (see James, Jerome), ill-matched (see Curry, Eddy/Randolph, Zach), or redundant (see roster, entire) than useful. Or the sexual harassment lawsuit. Or the drama with Starbury. Or the fact that he's the only person who could make our current president look popular in New York by comparison.

The Return of a Knicks Nation refugee
Published 4/22/2008 by Jordi at The Serious Tip
Pardon my lateness, but for the last four days I was far from communications, wandering deep in the mountains of the land of coal and steel. Only today did I hear the joyous news. All praise due to St. Patrick, St. Walt, and St. Willis! We have been liberated! In the words of the Great Joey, we have been delivered! And now it is time for me to say goodbye to a life of loneliness. To share bittersweet farewells with those other disenfranchised fans I have befriended since my vagabond days began. Yet I cannot disguise my ...
