The straight-shootin' blues-rock band JD and The Straight Shot made a rare television appearance on Good Day New York today, and wow—you can really see why these guys got picked to play Madison Square Garden last weekend. (Because Jim Dolan, their singer, owns it.)

During the 1981-1982 season, at least three Knicks players fixed games for their unnamed cocaine dealer, “one of the largest dealers on the East Coast,” according to FBI files.

Hey sports fans, look at Mr. Cool Sports Fan up there in the stands. Zuckerberg, with girlfriend Priscilla Chan, will find a way to make another billion dollars stealing fellow Harvard alumnus Jeremy Lin's unselfish style of offense.

Outside her New York hotel today, a smiling Sarah Palin proved that she has finally conquered her possibly crippling fear of Asians. Jeremy Lin for leader of the free world.

Twitter has been abuzz all night with the news that tween pop star Justin Bieber was booed at Madison Square Garden during tonight's Knicks-Mavericks game. Well, now we have video—and it's true! Aw. Leave the poor girl alone!

Good lord. New York Knicks center Eddy Curry was hit with a shady gay sexual harassment lawsuit earlier this month. And yesterday the mother of his child was murdered, in front of the child.

Ohmigod, in an NYC sports-related tabloid scandal even bigger than the Pedro Martinez cockfighting video—made better by the distinct possibility of being totally false—a New York Knick has been accused of being gay (for dudes!):

Because it's a lazy Friday before a long weekend, it's time to talk a bit about sports. But this is important! The Knicks, to everyone's chagrin, drew only the sixth pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Had they landed the first pick, they would have been assured of getting Derrick Rose, the best player in the nation and…

The new president of the New York Knicks, Donnie Walsh, promised to be more open to journalists, perhaps improving what is widely regarded as one of the more miserable reporting beats in the city. Most recently, a Post reporter was manhandled by Knicks security for daring to try and talk to another reporter. Walsh…

Back in November, the unfortunate beat reporters assigned to cover the Knicks poured their hearts out to the Observer about the "gulag" that was life on the "most demoralizing reporting gig in the city." The beat remains miserable. At last night's Knick loss (duh), Post reporter Marc Berman was "restrained" by…

Have you seen those commercials starring real-life Knicks fans going on about how much they love their team? The New York Press called foul on the ads this week, reporting the team had hired actors to play the roles. Not exactly a shocker, how many authentic Knicks fans could there possibly be these days? The New York…

But isn't the bigger problem that the city's middle class was already so small one guy's dismissal makes a difference? (And since when an eight-figure NBA coach considered middle class, anyway?)

Get them for that special, overpaid loser in your life.

Uncharacteristically, we were at the Garden for this marathon last night. And we're forced to say, in the Post's defense, that as the fucking thing went on and on and on, we probably also lost our ability to spell correctly, too.
