He's smart, glib and acutely aware of the effect his charisma and good looks have on people.

This is a good job describing Isiah?

Isles has a crush on Isiah! All the criticism is just playing hard to get! It all makes sense now!

Great so not only do we suck, but the organization is a bunch of fags who can't even treat women right.

If I were innocent and falsely charged, I'd really hate to have all the things said about me that people are saying about Isiah.

Another accuser feels her pain

A former cheerleading captain for the New York Rangers who is suing the team and Madison Square Garden for sexual harassment said yesterday "her heart goes out" to the woman who filed a similar suit against Knicks president Isiah Thomas.

Courtney Prince, 27, was in Vermont when she heard of the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court by Anucha Browne Sanders, a former top executive with the Knicks. Madison Square Garden, which is named in both suits and has denied both women's claims, owns the Knicks and Rangers.


"Having the paint not be dry on my case and having something so similar come up again, it's difficult for me to hear," Prince said yesterday in a telephone interview. "These things, you only end up doing them - at the end of the day, they're a lot harder than you think they're going to be - is to hope that you make a change. It's frustrating, but not surprising at all."

Prince filed her lawsuit in October 2004 after the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled there was probable cause to believe she was harassed by two Madison Square Garden executives and fired when she complained to other skaters. She says as an employee, she was well thought of before she revealed the alleged harassment, which she said included sexual advances from a member of the Rangers' public relations department after a party near the Garden.

"I was employee of the month, basically, and to have everything change so quickly, my heart goes out to this woman because they are just absolutely nasty," Prince said. "Hell, for me it was devastating for a long time."

Prince said she worked at times on the same floor as Browne Sanders, but did not know her personally. While Prince took her complaints to the EEOC, Browne Sanders went to top Garden management and was fired after an internal investigation found no validity to her claims that she was harassed.

Prince has the EEOC judgment and its recommendation the Garden pay her $800,000 in damages, which she sees as vindication. But the sides have not reached a settlement and the case is awaiting a judge's decision on the Garden's motion to have one of Prince's claims dismissed, according to her lawyer, Kathleen Peratis.

"It's not about the money, but having the gratification of someone saying, 'You were right to do this,'" Prince said. "That's the hardest thing. You start to doubt why your doing it or what happened in the first place when everyone is telling you otherwise.

"It's frustrating to learn how the legal system really works. My case has been processing for a long time. They're basically just doing everything they can to make this as exhausting for my lawyer and myself."

Executives for the Garden did not return calls seeking comment yesterday. Lawyers for the Garden have consistently denied Prince's claims.

All I know is that the initial NY Times article by Richard Sandomir had referenced the Ranger case. It's from 2004 and has clearly only being written about again because of the Isiah situation.

I am thinking that says more about Dolan/Mills and their ability to create a working environment. WOW.

Mills doesn't run the Rangers too, does he?

Mills Title is President & Chief Operating Officer, MSG Sports

So he oversees both.

I think we've found our new "search feature".... and his name is dsunyc.

Can you find some posts from the time when Layden was fired showing how sad we all were?
