mad dog is stupid

That was an absolutely brutal listen. Why did Zeke agree to come on? Though Russo is an a***ol, I wasn't too impressed by Zeke using the same arguments again and again (ie. Knick fans won't stand for a rebuild, the aim is to win a championship, he was given a bad hand to play with, etc.) Also, the "I know how to win" argument was probably not the best he could have used because that only happened when he was a player, not a GM. Of course, Mad Dog is an absolutely pathetic moron for attacking him like that.

actually Dog asked him all the questions that tabloid reports will knock Isiah for. I like the interview... I like that dog can bark at him and Isiah gives real answers. It was a good listen

Hmmm. I wonder if Zeke sidestepping the issue implies that the MLE WILL be held back for Damps. I would hope so. In a perfect world, we get Damps for Nazr and Moochie and re-sign Baker.

I know this much, Isiah is one guy that won't back down from anyone. For a talk show host to try to corner him is absurd. Dealing with Isiah is like dealing with Charles Barkley

mad dog doesn't even know what the division alignments are or the play off seeding will be.

I don't either, but I don't get paid $7 million dollars to hang out and talk sports all day.

He should and its disgraceful he doesn't

He is really clue less when is comes to anything other than baseball.

http://wfan.com/chrismikeaudio/, yeah the interview is posted....

I just listened to Chris Russo interview Zeke on WFAN and then Steve Smith from the Chicago newspapers about the Craw deal.

Basically Russo believes-The Knicks should have rebuilt totally. He hates the Crawford deal and thinks that the Knicks settled for mediocrity. At one point he said the Knicks basically secured thet 7th seed instead of the tenth. Also he asked Zeke who the last 8 seed to win the championship was (neither could name one, but he conveniently forgot the Knicks made the Finals as an 8th seed in 1999.) Seemed pretty certain that it was a bad financial investment...

Zeke said he is building in steps. We need to lose to learn to win (that is one of the great sports enigmas, isn't it?). Also my favorite quote that Zeke had when Russo was basically badgering him (can't the guy get his sinus's cleared or something...he has the MOST annoying voice I have ever heard on any radio show in existence)..."We are trying to change the engine while 40,000 feet in the air". Admitted that money was not an issue, nor will it be, either. He is looking at talent and the team, not at the price tag.

Smith said-Craw will be no more than a 3rd guard in a very good 3 guard rotation. IMHO, the Chicago media has been against this trade since it was first talked about so take that for what you want. He also said that Craw needs to learn to play the game, essentially he is more street than old-school. Also brough up the fact that this may be a precursor to another trade (he seemed pretty sure of it, considering he hammered the point pretty hard, but he also kept sayin he didn't know. So either he is giving Zeke a hell of alot more credit than he deserves or he is plain calling him stupid). He said point blank he wouldn't do this trade if he was the Knicks.

Russo seemed pretty intent on defending his point the Knicks aren't that much improved...he also ignored the 31 mil in expiring contracts at the end of the season.

man if only that idoit would one day realize how stupid he sounds when he talks about basketball.

the problem is no one if there to correct him. None of the other fat slubs know anything about basketball either.

Now Joe Beningo on the other hand is the man....He actually follows the basketball and the Knicks and the Hockey and the Rangers.
