Mr. Dolan you have once again taken my breath away from me. The pure untarnished beauty of that song will linger in my soul forever. Even as my cold dead body is placed into the unforgiving ground, I will be eternally “fixing the Knicks” in the existential realm of rythymn blues and ghostly harmony. Thank you my friend. Thank you Jesus!!!

Here are the lyrics to “Fix the Knicks”:

Everywhere I go
I hear everybody say
What you gonna do
to make that team play
Walk across the street
at 34th and 6th
Yelling from the cars, “hey man fix the Knicks”
(CHORUS)
Fix the Knicks
and make them shine
Get’em to win like its ’69
Hittin’ all their free throws and no more shooting bricks
Time to get it right
and fix the Knicks
Doing my best,
yes, that’s my promise
I check with my friends, call Isiah Thomas
Pay no mind to those nasty critics
They haven’t the thing to fix the Knicks
(CHORUS)
Know they’re getting Melo, we spare no expense
They score a lot of points, but where’s the defense
Everyone’s an expert
so trade your draft picks
You gotta get this guy
to fix the Knicks
(CHORUS)

Thoughts? I almost threw up.

This just in: Dolan is an idiot. I wish David Stern would kick his ass out of the league and start anew…

I was at Jones Beach to see Aretha Franklin when this abomination came on as the opening act as a substitute for Al Green who’d cancelled the tour. Dolan is so full of himself its unbelievable. As a lead singer and guitar player he was awful. But he must have paid a fortune to have the band that played with him They were actually good, tight and rockin’. But when Dolan sang that awful song, “Fix the Knicks” I had this very dark feeling flow over me. I thought, we are fucked for as long as this guy lives and for me that means I will never see a Knicks championship again.

I realize the Heat are up next on their terrible 5-on-5 series that I can stop reading (why aren’t there any Knickerbloggers on there?) so that will prob. inspire some comments.

Any thoughts on LeBron working on his post game with Hakeem? After the wounds of LeBron passing on coming to NY have healed, I realize I miss rooting for LeBron to become the best player he can be.

It used to fun imagining him leading the league in scoring while averaging a triple double.

SeeWhyDee77: I’m sittin here goin over these comments and it hit me. It wasn’t Zeke or Layden who laid waste to one of the biggest franchises in sports. Sure they landed us in cap hell but those guys launched us into cap hell, but they believed that some of those guys they brought in would help us.

Oops..didn't proofread. Was supposed to say"Sure they launched us int cap hell, but they believed.."

I’m sittin here goin over these comments and it hit me. It wasn’t Zeke or Layden who laid waste to one of the biggest franchises in sports. Sure they landed us in cap hell but those guys launched us into cap hell, but they believed that some of those guys they brought in would help us. Can’t fault them for that. Layden was banking on Dice recovering and contributing, and Zeke was relying on Marbury. I myself problee wouldn’t have traded for Dice, but I see his vision..dude was a BEAST B4 he got hurt. But back then, I problee woulda made the trade for Marbury. Statistically, he was awesome. The flaw in that was makin him the centerpiece and Dolan agreeing to take on as much salary as he did. Now, having Steph..I wouldn’t have added Crawford. And having Curry, I wouldn’t have added Randolph and vice versa if I had the choice. But at that point in their careers, except with Dice, I see the vision. Maybe Dolan shoulda been less of a yes man to Zeke’s notions. In the end, he has the overall power to say things like “no”. And “Steph..i’m suspending u becuz of conduct detrimental to the team”. Even Dolan shoulda been able to see the flaw in adding both Randolph AND Curry. And he can certainly say “Mike, I want some defense on this team. Ur a brilliant offensive coach, but if u don’t add some defensive substance, i’m firing u..for conduct detrimental to the team(lol)”. Now this doesn’t absolve Zeke and Layden in any way, they f’d up. I’m just sayin Dolan coulda signed off on better things. Of course, the Knicks were always gonna make money regardless so it didn’t matter to him. I think he has zero feeling for the game itself. He cares more about short term income it seems. Quick, someone transfuse some of Mark Cuban’s blood into this guy stat!!

The scary thing isn’t that he’s singing about fixing the the franchise that he broke or consulting his friend Isiah Thomas, or any of the superficial lyrics. That is just an attempt at levity, which one can be amused by or not…

What IS scary is just how bad the song is from a musical standpoint. I think madgrinch nails it. The guy has never had to answer to a higher power, and the Knicks (and the Aretha Franklin fans) are worse for it.

Very telling.

U know what’s sad?? This fact: At least Sterling’s got Griffin and Gordon and positive buzz around that team. F’n incredible Dolan is…smh.
