Bill comes due for Knicks fans
After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”Tags: None

what's the problem? You want your team to have big time stars..you pay the price.
Stoudemire and the other big stars gotta eat, ya know..."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Originally posted by onejayhawk View PostAs near as I can tell, this is voluntary. If you dont want to pony the price, you can keep your money. I would say that leaves out robbery.

Originally posted by Hammer View Postof course I am. Can they win something first? raising some tickets as much as 197% is thievery plain and simple."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Anybody else get a chuckle when the proponents of the free market solution when it comes to workers get their panties in a bunch when it applies to the things they want, too? Aww, the owners of your already luxury-priced basketball tix are testing the market to see what it will bear? Cry me a river until you agree that ExxonMobil, Cargill, ArcherDanielsMidland and the others that produce things necessary for everyone to buy shouldn't be allowed to do that with impunity either, otherwise I just don't care. When you agree that Safeway and Kroger have to share their excessive profits with "small markets" then the ranting about baseball revenue sharing might not make me laugh my ass off when erstwhile capitalists in minor cities scream for it. When you stop bitching about paying a fair tax on your excessive income, then you can try again to suggest that a clearly punitive "luxury tax" is reasonable without people stifling laughter in your presence. Until you make your reality align with your fantasy world, though... not so interested in hearing what you have to say on the matter. Sorry."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed. I say this in order to impress upon you, if you are not already so impressed, that no small matter should divert us from our great purpose. "

Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostThe salary cap occured to me after i posted. But if the Knicks can sell all their tickets at a higher rate, shouldn't they do that. Wouldn't you if you owned a team?I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
