Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

We're not going anywhere.

So, it really seems like the NBA lockout is going to carry well into 2012, if not forever. P&T will continue to operate, though, as it has throughout the lockout to date. Our numbers are obviously way down, but I'm delighted to see that some of you have stuck around. You've continued to comment and contribute posts, even picking up the slack while I refuse to acknowledge the lockout, and for that I am incredibly thankful. Going forward, here's what I'm thinking:

- Obviously, I'll continue to provide the same sputtering stream of Knicks content that you're used to.

- I'll also post lockout threads and news when I feel the urge, which is going to be rare. I encourage you to use the comments and Fanposts to discuss the lockout to your heart's content. I just won't be participating much, because I'd rather talk about literally anything else than other people's money.

- And that's the point of this post, really. In the absence of basketball, I want us to still talk and be friends. There's no reason we can't. Starting tomorrow, I think, I'm going to post an open thread every morning. I'll make it up as I go along, but this open thread will likely include whatever links and videos and stuff I want to share with you, as well as discussion topics or challenges or whatever else I can think of. I have plenty of things in mind already. Note that this will be separate from any Knicks content. "Lifestyle".

- I'd also really like to get us back into live-commenting sometimes. I miss game threads too much. Yesterday, a few people suggested picking up another team in another sport (like a New York-area college team), which I'm not opposed to. I know, for instance, that some of you are St. John's fans, and we've also got Osborn on the scene and I happen to have been watching some Red Storm games myself. So, that's a possibility. At the same time, we needn't restrict ourselves to basketball. It'd be kind of fun if there was a show or regular event of some sort that we could all watch together. I was thinking that Jeopardy! might be a good option, since it's kind of the only thing I watch anymore, but it airs at different times in different places, so that'd be tough. Anyway, I'm open to ideas on the "game thread" front.

- We'll probably have more contests of some sort. 

- My major qualm with expanding our scope is that the further we get from the Knicks, the more likely it is that folks get rowdy and/or vicious and/or more off-topic than we'd like. (Politics, sex, religion and other topics likely to produce comments in poor taste would qualify as "more off-topic than we'd like". Use your judgment.) The point of this entire endeavor is to keep ourselves sane 'n' entertained during the lockout, so please help me to maintain a friendly atmosphere and encourage positive contributions. The usual guidelines apply, and I will continue to enforce them with the same wanton, uneven vigor as before. You, meanwhile, are encouraged to rec good posts, flag inappropriate ones, and email me with questions or troubles.

And that's all I can think of right now. If this lockout has driven you to bail on the Knicks or P&T or both, then I can't blame you (and you're probably not reading this anyway). We're not going anywhere, though, and if you intend to stick with us, then we might as well enjoy each other's company.

Damn Seth

The second thing I worried about when I heard the news was P&T. There’s a really good community here though, so I think we’ll pick up right where we left off after the lock-out.

If I had to suggest something for the website, I’d say contests are the way to go. Whether it’s drawing, short-stories, basketball videos of a fellow P&T’er so we can see how good we really are, I’d go that route.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

I think I miss the P&T game threads more than I miss the games themselves. I watch(ed) the games on tape delay most of the time anyway, so I hardly ever participated. Just loved to scroll through and read.

I would suggest game threads for the MSG network replays of the 1994 games. Most of you were too young to watch those live anyways.

Last night

Game 5 of the Finals was on. That was one neither I nor anybody else saw on television because Al Cowlings was driving OJ around at the time. But they seem to be randomish, as you can see here.

If you go to tvguide.com though, you can do a search for “knicks” in the TV Listings section. Plenty of nifty goodies coming up in addition to the ’94 games, including the great Bernard King game from the 84 series against the Pistons and perhaps my favorite game ever: the 1990 deciding Game 5 against the Celtics.

I ducked out over the summer...

…and stayed out as it seemed inevitable that the dimwitted f***pigs of the NBA would tank the season despite finishing the last season on a complete high. Off season rumour blah, blah, blah tends to grate me in these days where every potential story gets blasted out at every opportunity but the will-they-won’t-they water torture of the lockout was even worse.

I was wondering how I would square the circle of newly married life and staying up until 3am a few times a week to watch games with you lot and it seems that the arch-idiots that own teams have solved the dilemma for me.

So here’s to a no-season of Knicks-flavoured mammalism. And me insulting team owners at ever opportunity ;-)

similar to regular brie I guess

it doesn’t have that poofy rind stuff that normal cow’s milk brie has, it actually is between two pieces of wax paper that of course you can’t eat. And its got a little bit of a sour/funk aftertaste that’s normal for sheep/goat’s milk cheese. It doesn’t have that bite that those regular goat cheese logs have tho, not even close.

Really really good.

The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

“Hold the blue cheese and ranch,” I said. Five minutes later my number was called, and lo and behold, it was smothered in some white substance that must’ve been either blue cheese or ranch. Calmly I let the woman know of their mistake. I received my new, improved sandwich about two minutes later. I walked up to my dorm and ate it. It was delicious! I downed it with some Brisk Iced Tea. There was artwork on the bottle by a guy named “Sopa”. I pondered if that could mean soda-scented soap, or soap-flavored soda.

No,

the guy was like “do you want bleu cheese or ranch?”, and I was like, “Neither, I don’t want bleu cheese or ranch” and he’s like “BOTH!?”, and I was like “No! No bleu cheese or ranch!” And then I get the food and it definitely had at least one of the two.

Well, that’s my story, guys.

Yeah I tend to agree with his Catness.

I would love to play some pick-up with some of the members here, but age, size, gender and particularly geographical differences make it really, really impractical. Maybe we could try to compile a list of general regions where members live (obviously only if they feel comfortable letting us know), and go from there. I’m sure a large percentage of us live in north Jersey, some probably live in central Jersey, plenty live on Long Island, and Brooklyn/Queens/Staten Island/Bronx/Man-hat-man, etc.

That’s the only way I can see it picking up any practical steam. If anyone else has any ideas, raise your hand politely and you’ll be called on eventually. Actually, just post them up here. That seems more practical.

I go to Squan

So I’m supposed to hate you, but you know how it goes.

Ha I know what you mean

It’s like a rivalry that exists but doesn’t really exist at the same time. For the record, Manasquan is so much cooler than Wall in nearly all aspects, so I’ll give you that.

Would you happen to know the Balestrieri’s?

Not personally, but I know of them.

My friend’s mom is good friend with the mother. And I’m pretty sure I went to grammar school with Jeanine. Small world after all.

Jesus this has kinda blown my mind

My girlfriend’s in-laws are the Balestrieri’s. Pretty crazy. For future endeavors we’ll have to rep the Monmouth County area together in case P&T breaks into a territory war!

Who else in Austin TX?

I’m thinking if there’s one other person, we could play 2 on 0 and DOMINATE!

Basketball wise, it's dead.

Otherwise, it’s fairly fine, I reckon.

No sources think this...

But I still think a deal is on its way. Now that everyone has given up – they’ll make a back room deal and play ball. Merry Christmas! Go Knicks! ( I know – naive etc…)

Just stop.

I’ve come to grips with it, it seems like everyone else has come to grips with it, you should too.

I know I shouldn't delude myself with any sort of optimism . . .

but I don’t think a season is impossible yet. Wasn’t the deadline January 3rd in 1999? SI had an article where they said it could still be possible. Missing a whole season is so ugly and so bad I think everyone will try at the eleventh hour.

I think we're out of practice

Surely this one normally wouldn’t have been let slide:

they’ll make a back room deal and play ball

Or maybe I’m just stretching here.

Get 64 people

Have a t shirt contest. Everyone go into paint or photoshop and design a mothafucking t shirt.

Make it a tourney. Final 4 get their shirts in the store. Winner gets a free shirt.

Seth posts one design each day and we analyze and criticize. (I miss Clyde)

You’re a good dude Seth.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

You know it's hit home when you wake up with your morning ritual

Whether it be coffee, bagels, donuts, stogies, whatever…set your hiney down on your favorite morning spot, open up your laptop or whatever you surf with to the sharpest tack in the blogoshpere, and BOOM! Not one new fanpost or comment. Sigh…Go twitter and realize some of these folks in the process from both sides would rather hurl insults and accusations from their twitter accounts than meet face to face at a table and collectively bargain with common sense and GOOD FAITH.

While social media is a good outlet for fans, I really think it negatively effects the professional handling of processes such as this lockout and shouldn’t be entertained as a part in the process. Just a random thought as aI sit here disappointed.

I suggest we start following FIU games!

heckling Isiah could definitely take the sting out of the lockout!
