![]() Bro you just gave me my new signature! Joe was the guy who got me into WFAN because I'd listen on the radio whenever I didn't have Cable, and he came on after the games back in prime Knick crazy years- 97-99 -
Joe as a Knick fan however is not one of us at all. I haven't felt a pulse in his heartbeat for the team basically since Isaiah. I think that killed his Knick spirit because he never got pulled in emotionally after that like he would w the Jets and Mets- even during the best Carmelo year and he never bought into Linsanity- Joe is crazy but he is skeptical with the Knicks to the point of disinterest. Hopefully his retirement breaks all three curses- I root for the same teams. If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Benigno was at his best on the overnight and I also prefer him solo to when they team him up with someone. Seems less spontaneous when they do. But good point about him as a Knicks fan -- he's really a Jets and then Mets fan now. And here I am on Halloween night, a Saturday even, responding to this post.... Go New York go! |

![]() First time I listened to Joe was when he still did overnights in 1996. Knicks had just lost to the clippers at MSG and Joe was freaking out. He always sounded like a big fat Italian guy to me and then I saw a pic of him and thought he looked like Luigi

They’ll talk wall to wall giants, jets and mets when they suck but no Knicks

At best they parrot the obligatory negativity -- Joe is probably the most informed and maybe that younger new overnight guy but the rest are clueless if they are ever mentioned. On ESPN radio it's generally just the trendy hate but at least they will talk about the Knicks. Alan Hahn was pretty much the exception in giving something approaching a balanced discussion. Kay and his bobos and the National voices are predictable in their slagging. But they love what the Nets are doing! |

Zero discussion or willingness to watch the games. When Fizzdale got fired last year despite having a horrible record it was wall to wall “lolz, typical Knicks” and then Mike Miller took over and had the Knicks play competitive basketball and not a peep made about it on WFAN or ESPN Radio. The Knicks beat the Houston Rockets. Zero discussion about the game just blabber on about Spike Lee and his silly incident. Knicks beat Porzingis twice zero talk about it. Knicks beat Heat, Pacers, Blazers with Melo back in MSG - nothing but let’s talk about the Mets third string catcher situation |

Will piss me off but will be worth it. |
