Its obvious we wronged Scott Layden and while he is too nice a guy to curse us, some thing has gone wrong. This is a smart good guy who is one of the best family guys, a good son, and very well liked by those who know him.

We fired him, and Isiah dissed him. A website dedicated to his firing was started, and fans used to cheer "fire layden" during drafts at the garden. this was wrong, and we pissed off the basketball gods! We phuched up.

Layden is now an assistant coach on the Jazz and returns on friday. Its time we make amends and make peace with the gods. We must serve up some humble pie, eat some crow and say we are sorry. This is an omen, Scott back in the garden, a jazz team ripe for the taking, and we need some momentum. It must start with us!

The fans must do this, we must attone for our sins. We must take control of the teams karma and offer a sacrifice. Since Dido has gone packing, we must then offer our pride instead.

I'll go first



Dear Scott,

We see now that it was an organizational failure that existed for many years and we wrongfully tagged you as the face of that failure and it was wrong. In many circles, you are blamed for Weis, Ewings departure, Allans promise to extend his contract, and host of many many bad moves. We realize now that it was unfair to throw you under the bus and label you as the posterboy for all that is wrong. Please forgive us and may we all move on to happier pastures. We are glad Dolan compensated you well, and that you have proven yourself a worthy television personality, and an assistant coach! Best to you and your family!

Love,

Ulitmateknickfan Nalod


See, not so hard! Now lets one by one offer something. even if you hate Isiah and were right all along, just give up something and if enough of us do it, we can turn this thing around! The fans can make it happen!

dear scott,

what the hell are you wearing? is that an extra-thick t-shirt under your shirt? are you wearing 2 shirts? who picked out that damn shirt in the first place? it looks 8 sizes too big, making you look even further like a lost little boy struggling to function in a man's body. that's some crazy thing, like something keith van horn would wear. in fact, it probably is keith van horn's. he gave it to you and now you cling to it and wear it every day don't you? my god that is sad. come to think of it you have that keith van horn haricut going now too, don't you? wow, this is getting weirder than i thought.

And don't you feel better for it?

Dear Scott,

I want to thank you for providing me with McKnee, fatspoon, Ho, O, Shandon "no thumbs" Anderson, the mountain man, Felton "the enforcer" Spencer and the entire Utah Utes graduating class from 1999-2003. Without that, my jokebook would have been empty. Thank you Scott. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

-Love

PS: You did right by ewing, he was surly.

Where did you see blame in my post? I saw happiness. My joke book runneth over

Dear Scott,

I want to thank you in advance for not returning to the New York Knicks. I think you should stay in Utah and help their franchise.

- We dont miss you,

I beg to differ. The Gods find me hilarious.

They are laughing at you, not with you. The gods speak to me now.

But they think your a hell of a coach!

Nalod: I think people are missing the purpose of this post.

You and me are on the same page. Layden brought happiness to NY. People just don't know how to be happy anymore

Layden in the garden, its a big moment. Its a sign, we have an opportunity. They should cheer him when is is named as an assistant coach!

I am not cool with cheering Layden. Why should we forget what he put the franchise through? Just because the next guy isnt doing much better? No way man. I will boo him and I will blame Isiah too if he leaves after making the team and the fans suffer.

I'm with you. Booing won't help, but I also would have a hard time cheering for him. What if we all just stood there and stared at him.
