This is….MSG IDOL
As the trade deadline approaches and the Knicks are considering a trade for Tracy McGrady, which would provide significant cap relief for this summer, The FinalWord and Pinesol started thinking about the future. One of the trade rumors floating around includes acquiring T-Mac, Brian Cook, and Joey Dorsey for Jared Jeffries, Larry Hughes, and Jordan [...]

HOW DARE YOU try to vote Tracy McGrady into the All-Star game? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! A PERVERSION OF DEMOCRACY! What did that loser do to deserve an All-Star selection this year? Is it because your favorite countryman can’t play in the ASG and T-Mac’s on the same team? RIDICULOUS! He hasn’t played ALL year! In fact, [...]

- #1 Alabama v. #2 Texas – not taking anything away from the other undefeated teams (TCU, Cincinnati) I think the BCS did get it right by pitting these two teams against each other. I know I can’t wait for the Shipley/Arenas matchup on the outside. Interesting fact: Other than LSU’s Justin Vincent in 2004, no [...]

I know I missed last week’s power rankings but stupid life got in the way as I had to take my CPA exam. I think I passed but we’ll see I guess. Anyway, nobody wants to hear about that. Let’s get right into it. 1. LOS ANGELES LAKERS (8), 13-3 – The Lakers currently hold the [...]

Let me be real clear before I go any further. Quite frankly, it’s getting harder and harder to vouch for Allen Iverson. I’ve defended him throughout his career. He rejuvenated basketball in Philadelphia but throughout his time in the “City of Brotherly Love” the fans didn’t show him enough of it. They ragged on him [...]

1. ATLANTA HAWKS (7), 8-2 – After defeating the Celtics on the road, the Hawks take over the top spot this week. They have a difficult slate of games this week, however, as they face the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets. Fortunately for them, they’re all home games.

Apparently Lawson was holding back a little bit in college. Absolutely absurd.

Riding high off of the Yankees’ 27th World Series Championship, I was prepared to see a competitive Knicks squad that would attract marquee free agents this summer. While a playoff berth was unlikely, it wasn’t impossible. I figured the Knicks would finish the season with about 35 wins and 47 losses, but my hopes were dashed five [...]

1. PHOENIX SUNS (9), 6-1 – Despite getting smoked by the Magic in Orlando, the Suns made up for it by beating the Celtics on the road. Steve Nash is playing like an MVP and is shooting better from 3-point land than 2-point distance. Are the Suns for real? This week will be a good [...]

For comparing Manu Ginobili’s swatting of a bat to Michael Vick electrocuting, hanging, drowning, and shooting dogs. Sure, PETA didn’t bring up Vick’s name, but they did link to all their posts tagged “Michael Vick” when discussing what Manu did. Here’s exactly what they said: To bludgeon a 4-ounce animal to death, it takes either a [...]
