First off dan haven't you realized that no one cares about FANATICS???
Second if you feel that way about Walsh, then how do you feel about
the man really in charge? His name is Dolan by the way... I mean it
appears everyone of im****tance but you dan likes Isiah enough to save
his face... LOL!!!!

Now finally you are asking the right questions. I have said in the
past Dan and I will keep repeating until one of FANATICS gets it... We
simply dont know what goes on over there really? Many have argued for
years that Isiah should not be here, but he is... Maybe we will never
know what is really going on over there but at least you can surmise
from what happens that all our assumptions about what we FANATICS
think should happen simply isnt happening our way. Now that being
said maybe some investigative re****ting can tell us why???

Simple... Because the person who paid him that much money and gave him
control is not mad at him. At least not as mad as you are. Can we at
least agree with that?

Unless you are teh only one that thinks it is cancer and of course you
are not a doctor. Simply put I feel your pain dan but it is painfully
obvious that the people who have power and control over this situation
do not agree with you. If they did Isiah would get everything that you
think he should get. Sometimes whether the majority agree with you or
not doesnt matter. The ones in power always matter. Dolan has simply
said... " Who Dan Gaters... Let him eat cake!!"

I go back to the many previous statements I made... Dan you assume
that Walsh Dolan or anyone there really thinks about your naivety??? I
think they simply could care less and have said that too many times.
It is going to play out how it is going to play out. I am glad Isiah
is not in power but realize even as a hot dog vendor he is making too
much money to just let go. Dan if you are happy being this miserable
about people who could care less about how you feel then so be it.
Don't Worry Be Happy!!!!

I say tongue in cheek... Hey Dan I think Dolan really cares and will
get this ****p on the right coarse. Oh and I take offense to the
GimmeMyRetirementCheck... Why you ask because old guys like me would
love to be able to get one like Walsh's check..... Heres looking
forward to reirement soon real soon.....
In closing "Let's Go Knicks!!!!!!!!"
