What a snake.
We’ll see ya around, Mike D’Antoni.
I have a funny feeling about this one … something isn’t sitting right.
I’m no apologist for Jerry Reinsdorf, either, more on that in a minute.
You’re telling me this guy chose the Knicks over the Bulls? Fine.
You think the Bulls are lazy saps? Take a look at the Knicks. They’ve got Chicago’s lazy saps that couldn’t cut it here.
Exhibit A: Eddy Curry. Wow. Can’t wait to see D’Antoni trying the run-and-gun with this guy. The last time this guy ran, it was to McDonald’s.
Jamal Crawford. He may actually be a little worse because not only is he lazy, but he also doesn’t play defense, and he shoots whenever he wants. He may actually be perfect for D’Antoni. Throw in Zach Randolph and others, and that’s a train wreck.
I say we dodged a bullet, just a hunch. This guy took the cash and the promise of big-time free agents down the road. Yeah, that always works because the Knicks are the only team with money.
So let the Knicks have him. As for you, Mr. Reinsdorf, you’re not off the hook. Get out your checkbook and — gasp — actually start dealing with coaches’ agents. It’s the world you live in, sick though it may be. Find another offensive guy somewhere, we need to be offended.
Now let’s give a big Chicago welcome to Jim Edmonds. Eight Gold Gloves, big-time power. He’s coming off a huge season … in 2005.
He’s like 50! Enough with signing guys 10 years too late! What is this, an assisted-living compound? Come on! The guy wasn’t even hitting .200 when we signed him.
Of course, this also means, for the 100th year in a row, a Cubs prospect simply isn’t cutting it here. We wave goodbye to Felix Pie. He’ll join Corey Patterson and a list of thousands of failed Cubbies.
Note: I just used “Cubbies,” a term I find socially and editorially unacceptable. As the Turk said in “The Godfather,” The Don, may he rest in peace, was slipping.
The Bears are slipping too. Back home to obscurity. This one puzzles me. Brian Urlacher will skip mini-camp, wants a new deal, whatever.
You know, just suck it up. The country’s in a recession, and you’re complaining.
Besides, there’s no money. We gave it all to the kicker. He’s the only offense we got.
