Life Support

So last night the NY Knicks officially began the rebuilding process by signing Amar'e Stoudemire to a 5 year/$100 million deal. Now although Amar’e is far and away better than any player the Knicks have had over the last ten years he is not the type of player that can carry your team to a Finals let alone most likely not even the playoffs without a legit star player alongside him.

Put it this way, if by the end of the week LeBron and Wade signed elsewhere and Melo agrees to an extension with the Nuggets the KNICKS have officially set themselves back another decade and I will be forced to abandon ship.

Now some of you might think who abandon’s ship of their favorite team especially one that you have been following your whole life. Well it’s simple when that team for more than half of your life has sucked more than any franchise in all of sports and then when the time comes where they may rise from the abyss they completely tank their opportunity and set you back again another ten. That is when it’s ok to throw in the towel and sign the divorce papers.

Because there is no shot in hell I can continue to have no rooting interest in a major sport, it just isn’t fun. I never understood how people don’t have favorite teams. You might as well not even watch sports. So let it be known today that if all does not workout with another major star player to go tag team with Amar’e I will be placing an order on the OKC Thunder website for my home/away Kevin Durant jersey because they will be my knew favorite team.
So step up to the plate Mr. Dolan, Donnie Walsh and Coach D’Antoni and make sure that you can back that ridiculous contract that you gave Amar’e up with a player that will at least be able to carry the KNICKS to the rightful place they belong. At the top.

And like I have said before to quote Michael Corleone “It’s not personally Amar’e, it’s just business”.
