briggs summed it up perfectly. they are fringe fans. to talk about the knicks on a talk radio show, you need to know the team NOW. they don't so they're better off not talking about it. but they do, combine that they are usually spewing what every other mainstream outlet does and the dramatic way dog does things, it causes all of us to be pissed. it's effective b/c that's what they want. i gave up on them a long long long time ago concerning bball. and in the other sports, they come off very egotistical but that's usually something that's part of the territory.
joe and sid are funny b/c they're idiots like us.
the new producer guy that gets some spots - mike mellusis (sp?) actually knows about the team. he didn't talk about the salaries concerning the deals but said that malik rose is a good player along with the picks was a good trade and that the mo taylor deal stunk b/c mo's a dog. nothing ground breaking but not the usually "$32 mil in payroll!??!?!?!?!" stuff.
They know baseball and that's all. Dog wants people to think he is this huge NBA fan secretly. He doesn't know half the people in the league. Mike admits that he hasn't watch the NBA, especially the Knicks since Van Gundy left. I mean it laughable, these guys were killing Layden for drafting Sweetney over Nick Colllison, who Mike predicted who be a star in the league. Dog hated the trade to get Nazr, said he was nothing but a throw in. Chad Ford is now doing the same, Nazr just went from being nothing to being better than Malik Rose, a man who helped his team win 2 championship rings. The question was put before Dog, last year by a caller, who said if Zeke brought in Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and Shaq, you probably would have a problem with that too. Dog just laugh, and said that was probably true.
