That Awkward Moment


Embracing a former nemesis


My son fell asleep last night just in time for me to flip the channel from Disney Junior over to ESPN and catch a replay of the standing ovation the Madison Square Garden crowd gave new Knicks president Phil Jackson.

As a Knicks fan, I’d stand an applaud just about anything that, even if it is just on paper, can be seen as a spacer between James Dolan and the basketball decision-making process. Phil may not be a solution, but he certainly represents progress. 

But something about Phil Jackson receiving a standing ovation at Madison Square Garden had me feeling queasy.
