A
Day In the Life...
by: LoyalKnicksFan, for Sports
When
I took on the task of writing this column, I never imagined
that it would garner this type of attention (I get recognized
by wearing the hat). It's
like I'm an Overnight Celebrity without all of Twista's
acne. I have reporters hanging outside the crib, I don't wait
in line or have to obey the dress code at local clubs, Stephen
A. Smith calls me up all the time to be on his show, Spike
lets me ride that rolling sidewalk machine in all of his movies
and I even get free upgrades to super size at McDonalds.
Ok, so maybe
I'm kind of stretching the truth. I
don't really eat McDonalds.
One drawback though is the annoying amount of questions and/or
comments I get when I'm out handling my business. Here are some:
"The
Knicks are better off without Stephon Marbury."
Maybe
they are, maybe they aren't, but blaming Stephon for the Knicks
short comings is stupid. Let's see, 20ppg and 8apg over a career? You
can bring back Howard Eisley if you want.
"Do
you think Nate Robinson looks like 50 Cent?"
If
you're asking me, then obviously you think he does. But yes,
he does look like Curtis. Now please stop asking me.
"Giving
up the #1 pick in the Eddy Curry deal was a dumb move."
Look,
fuck you! Who would have thought Larry Brown was going to
have this team so god awful? Nobody complained about that
deal when it happened because no one expected our record
to be horrible enough to be eligible for the #1 pick. Y'all
remind me of the dude who watches a movie then goes to see
it with someone else and pretends he figured the ending out
with pure intelligence instead notes. Oh yeah, in case you didn't
notice, this draft is weaker than a Euro during his rookie season.
"Isiah
makes too many trades."
What
do you want him to do? We suck. When you suck, you try
and get better. Remember
we don't have salary cap money, so we have to make trades. I
swear I will make a poster with Scott Layden's face on it and
smack people with it when they ask me about this shit.
"Jerome
James is a piece of shit."
Well,
ya don't say? Listen, I don't need to hear this every time
I go to the store to pick up some milk. I know he sucks,
but think of it like your wife being a whore. You might know
it but you don't need everyone reminding you. (Hey baby)
"Is
Kevin Garnett coming here next year?"
People
usually ask me this question with one of two motives behind it. #1:
they are actually Knicks fans and know that getting KG would
change everything and make us instant contenders. #2: they are
worried Zeke will pull this deal off and are afraid they will
have to admit he's a good GM.
"Knicks
tickets are too expensive."
Well,
then keep your broke ass home. What do you want me to do
about it? I mean, yeah they are expensive but so are those
damn Red Monkey jeans y'all waste your damn money on.
"The
Knicks will never be under the salary cap."
Why
are fans so damn obsessed with this salary cap? If we were
under the cap and sucked just as bad would that make you feel
better? We might suck but at least it ain't because we're cheap.
"Are
Isiah's teeth real?"
Yes,
people do actually ask me this stupid ass question. Am
I his dentist? Next person to ask me this question is going
to need them a new set of teeth.
"The
Knicks Suck!"
No
shit! I might be loyal but I'm not fucking stupid! Telling
me the Knicks suck is like telling a republican that George
Bush is a horrible president. They
know it but they're gonna ride with him regardless because they're
fucking republicans. I'm a Knicks fan. Hey look, it says so in
my name!
and
my personal favorite comment:
"I
used to be a Knicks fan, but now I follow the Nets."
Oh,
go to hell, you unloyal piece of shit. You were never a
Knicks fan if you switched teams! Nets fans aren't even Nets
fans. What
team cannot sell out seats to the damn NBA Finals?! And don't
pitch me on that "Jay-Z owns them, they coming to BK" crap.
I could care less. My name is Loyal-Knicks-Fan not Fairweather
Knicks fan! Next time you have a dumb question, go Google that
shit and leave me alone.
As
always, comments, questions (other than the ones above) and
death threats should be directed to inzekewetrust@hotmail.com or talent@fiyastarter.com.
Till next week, bitches.
