ISIAH WATCH: PERPETUAL GRIN INTERRUPTED BY 45-POINT LOSS
New York Knicks ‘head coach’ Isiah Thomas watched his team win three in a row after dropping a game by 45 points, bringing their record ‘up’ to 5-10.Jeff Cez: If you had Isiah’s performance record and off-the-court problems, and your name was Bob, your boss would call you in and here’s what would happen: “Listen Bob, this is beyond ‘not working out.’ You suck, and in addition, every woman here lives in fear of you. I’ve taken the liberty of having your desk packed up and your house sold while we speak, so just meet the two guys from Blackwater down in the lobby and they’ll escort you to your new one-bedroom apartment in the middle of New Mexico, okay? Don’t even think of opening your mouth, Bob.”
HAWAI’I EARNS EXTRA APOSTROPHE!
The University of Hawai’i beat Washington 35-28 Saturday night to finish the regular season 12-0. Jeff Cez: It is officially the year of “The Crazy-Ass Warrior Thing With The Body Paint And The Tats And The Freaky Scary Dance.” Sure beats “The Hawai’i Bulldogs.” They can play too, and June Jones knows how to call a game. But the apostrophe thing has to go. Okay, the White Man screwed up 70 years ago, but admit it, it’s just better lookin’ without the apostrophe.
KNIGHT'S OKAY! OH, WOW, THANK GOD.
Bobby Knight left Texas Tech’s loss to Centenary Saturday at halftime with flu-like symptoms. Knight was involved in another hunting incident last week and also got in a row with Centenary fans. According to assistant coach and son Pat Knight, “He’s just been coughing up stuff all the time.”Jeff Cez: I still like Knight, but I think the medical term for what he’s coughing up might be “old man bile.” He’s the Dick Cheney of sports – shooting people and screaming geezer rants at college kids. Next thing you know he’ll be driving a Buick Century 34 miles an hour on the highway and shaking his fist at you as you pass. Bobby! – go fishing already! What’s Pat, 60 now? Let him coach.
