It’s a sad day in Knicks franchise history and it’s not due to their 9-24 record, it’s due to the fact that Italian-American Rappers Hate Isiah Thomas. It would suck to be hated by Genovese and his group-mate Gustapo on many levels. One it’s not as cool as being hated by the Dixie Chicks or the Pope (like I am) and two because they actually made a song about it.

LISTEN TO THE SONG

First off that shizz is wack and mildly hilarious. Rap songs, protests, billboards, public scorn and ridicule — none of this matter to Dolan or Isaiah.

Re-arranging the line-up is like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The bottom line is that this team cannot defend, doesn’t work that hard, isn’t bothered by losing, has given up on the coach, has given up on its fans, and are happy collecting big paychecks for doing nothing.

Here’s what the two rappers had to say about the song:

GENOVESE: Basically, I’ve been a Knicks fan since I was a kid. I saw them through the 80’s, the 90’s and it gets to a point where even though I’m patient enough to wait to have a good team, with the whole scandal and all, it turned one of the greatest franchises ever in the a mockery. I always respected Isiah as a player and how he was on the court back in the day, but he brought us to a point where people come into the Garden and they’re laughing at us and they know they’re going to beat us. Back in the days, you couldn’t walk on the Garden court and get an easy lay-up, Charles Oakley would throw you to the ground. They just played with a lot of pride and now it’s just a joke. That can’t happen in New York, something has to be done.

GUSTAPO: Being a New Yorker and having a love for sports, I have pride in all our teams. I just feel it’s time that the Knicks need to shake things up and I think it’s the fans job to get the team to shake things up. Booing in the arena or just voicing your opinion is a way to make a difference. Being that we’re into music, we decided to speak on the Knicks through that. First Cousins shaking things up and getting rid of Isiah.

Nothing gets a coach fired faster than a rap song. Even though I would fire Isiah Thomas on how creepy he sounds in this video below.

Rich Rodriguez will impregnate one of these women. Lucky bastard.

OK you West Virginia fans, I realize that a lot of you think Rich “Dirty Sanchez” Rodriguez is Satan incarnated. I understand that feeling, I myself believe it’s Nick Saban who is Satan, however some of you Eer fans are taking it to far by threatening the mans family. I mean really whatever happened to simple vandalism of personal property?

Relatives of Rich Rodriguez have been harassed and threatened in the three weeks since his resignation as West Virginia football coach.

His mother, Arleen Rodriguez, said her teen grandson received a death threat and found other harassing notes taped to his locker at East Fairmont High School. Arleen said her 12-year-old granddaughter had to be escorted to classes.

That’s horrible!!! I’m being serious. Now I realize the chances that anyone who reads this blog had anything to do with this are slim to none, so I’m in no way lumping all Eer fans into this one post, but DAMN!!! They’re kids for Christ sakes. Can’t the children of West Virginia pick on them in a healthy way like calling them fat and stupid without delivering death threats? I never threatened anyone in school with “death” unless they absolutely refused to give that lunch money up, even then I wasn’t that serious.

“He put seven years into WVU and now everybody thinks he’s garbage,” his mother said. “Think like a parent. That’s all I can say. Think about it. Think about what you’re doing.”

The backlash has been even more venomous on the Facebook social networking site, where dozens of groups with profanity-laced names have formed, devoted to wishing ill for Rodriguez and his family.

Ooohhh online threats, those go real far. Even though Rich’s mom fails to see that her son is in fact garbage, she’s right when it comes to kids. They should be off limits period.

Several wealthy football boosters claim there was behind-the-scenes tension between Rodriguez and the WVU administration, but the coach has yet to discuss the matter publicly.

“I don’t think he felt wanted at WVU any more,” his mother said.

I can tell you right now he’s not wanted there right now but that gives no right to people threatening kids. To paraphrase Mike Gundy, pick on Rich himself “He’s 40! He’s a man!!!”
