Duck Folan? what about Stern?

SelltheKnicks.com has organized a draft-day protest against owner James Dolan they hope will grab the attention of David Stern, if they're allowed into Madison Square Garden.
The protestors will gather at the ESPN Zone wearing shirts that say "Duck Folan" and "Sell the Knicks" and then march to MSG where they plan on attending the draft. Since Dolan owns MSG, there's a good chance they'll be banned from entering the building. Just another day at the office for the Knicks.

I wish that it would make a difference, but how do you change your team's owner? We're powerless, David Stern is a money whore whose bottom line attidude could give a rat's ass that the knicks won 23 games last year, just as long as the dwayne wade jersey sales profits still deposit directly into his personal bank account, which must be the size of switzerland by now.

Oh the humidity!

It has been some time since I blogged. I've been in Florida on and off for the past month helping my parents sell their house. I haven't rode or worked out very much, though I have bought quite a few used bikes for what I consider to be good prices, including a KHS Flight 100 (reynolds) for my gf, and two japanese bikes - Shogun Selectra (tange)and Fuji s12-s (chromemollybendium) and one french bike - peugeot u08 (i assume its cro-mo). The downtown orlando scence is as bleak as I remember it with the exception that there are all new faces, younger faces, that inhabit this swamp. Bar b cue and ibar are still the best bets in town but damn, where did everybody go. its like orlando the next generation down here. I've seen one fixed gear bike this whole time and it was being walked near thorton park. My gf robin came down to visit me and we had fun all over central florida but now its back to working on the house so that i can get back up north where I belong. my brother billy will be here on monday for a weeks long vacation...
