Deja vu all over again?

New Knick coach Mike D’Antoni wants to make some changes in Gotham City.  Nothing new right?  Seems that he wants to ship Starbury back to PHX again.  Nothing new right?  We’ve played this song before. 

This D’Antoni experiment will not end well. 

The players don’t mesh with his system, they don’t mesh well with each other, and no one is playing hard. Their point guards shoot too much, their big men don’t play big, and they are just horrible. Like rubbernecking-at-a-traffic-accident-horrible, you don’t want to look but you can’t look away.

D’Antoni’s got 2-3 years tops to turn it around.

Is it Stank-0 or is Mike D’Antoni the 21st century Don Nelson?  D’Antoni-ball is the new Nellie-ball.

Happy Birthday Chuck!

May 12th, 2008 . by Supreme Nerdmistress

It was on this day 25 years ago that a lovely woman decided she had to get this bad ass child out of her womb before she went crazy. Chuck came into the world and hasn’t left us alone since then.

Please join me in celebrating the fact that Chuck is now a quarter century old and officially an old ass man.

Happy Birthday Chuck!

The 3 finalists for the Hart Trophy

April 29th, 2008 . by Stankoniforous One

NHL 

The Hart Trophy is the MVP award of the NHL.  The three finalists are 

Calgary Flames right wing Jarome Iginla, Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin and Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin…

Now Stank-0 has just started watchin playoff hockey again so Stank-0 can’t speak on the merits of the other two, but AO has been written about before, here and here

 Ovechkin was the leading goal scorer in the NHL.  Here’s hoping that the Capitals’ Ovechkin wins the Hart Trophy.   

Cris Collinsworth In Madden 2009? But WHY???

April 25th, 2008 . by Chuck

It was revealed that Brett Favre will be the cover boy for Madden 2009 today. I don’t have a problem with that.

However, I DO have a problem with Cris Collinsworth and some guy named Tom Hammond being the new in-game announcers. I’ve never liked Collinsworth, and I hate the fact that I have to watch him on two separate channels when I want to see football every Sunday. In fact, not seeing Cris Collinsworth was the only perk of “Inside The NFL” getting canned by HBO.

Now I have to deal with him infiltrating the last link to my childhood. NO!..I won’t have it.

I don’t care how old and senile John Madden is getting. I want him in the game! I don’t care if the Xbox version of Madden features John rambling about “Turducken” when I’m running for a touch down. I don’t care if they have to include a 3d render of John dozing off in the announce booth. Put him in the game!

I would even settle for Frank Caliendo doing an impression of John Madden calling the game.
