Good afternoon, rakes. It's a bit of a dreary one, at least where I am, but I hope you're thriving just the same. Today, I bring you some dreadlocked asses and a handful of entirely trivial links. Enjoy!
- The Poitou donkey, or Baudet de Poitou is an exceedingly rare and endangered breed of domestic donkey that comes from France. I don't usually do domestic animals, but these guys' endangerment and taste in hairstyle won me over. Balkman de Poitou?
- It sounds like Ronny Turiaf's fractured hand is healing nicely. The article is a few days old, but I think we can assume that Ronny hasn't been punching boulders or anything and the report remains true.
- Over at Bread City, Jake writes on the local cultural relevance of the '70s Knicks in the context of that long-lost Annie Hall outtake with Woody Allen and some philosophers playing hoops with the Knicks.
- Doing money things: Carmelo Anthony, who participated in some charity trading (of, like, money? I don't understand these things. Point is, it was charitable) last week and listened to Obama talk about raising taxes last night. The former link includes some semi-hilarious video.
- I don't usually write much about active former players, but our beloved cock is headed back to the nest until this lockout ends.
- Amar'e Stoudemire is the 4th thebasketballjonesest player in the NBA!
- A photo of John Starks, just rappin' to some reporters about man cleavage 'n' stuff.
- I'm editing the Sports Section today, yesterday, and tomorrow (not in that order), if anyone cares. In general, I'll be posting there about once a day, but usually not about the Knicks, at least until basketball returns. I'll always link if I wrote something Knicks-y of import over there.
That's all I've got for now! Still hoping/waiting for the Impact League folks to post scores and stats from yesterday (or just those for Team D. YEAH TEAM D!), but I'm not sure when or if that's going to happen.

Thanks for the updates Seth
Turiaf broke what amounts to his pinky and should be fine when the lockout ends. Gallo going back to Milano really wasn’t news, It has been rumored for a month. The team had offered him as much as 5 million to return to the club once his Knicks contract was over, so I am sure they are giving him a nice piece of cheese for this short term rental. The article didn’t mention an opt out clause, but since Arn Tellem is his agent I sure he has one.
Weird to read you writing about the Jets and Yankees.
Like reading Lester Bangs writing about opera.

Funny idea to have the 70’s Knicks playing against the great philosophers. I was hoping for some footage but it was destroyed. Judging by the photo it looks like Woody plays like a girl back when girls actually did play like girls.
Too bad the film is gone.
pretty sure he ended up doing the same thing
with soccer players… but i can’t remember what movie.

I was at the game in Las Vegas
I don’t remember the final score, but I’m pretty sure Kenyon Martin switched teams in the third quarter. Shumpert played horribly. He was rarely involved offensively. He threw a pass way out of bounds and goaltended. Billups looked washed up but made a few threes. I got photos of dunks.
Were Shumpy and Billups on the floor together?
Did Billups play the point?
I was sort of afraid that Billups might get exposed by some of those talented and blindingly fast young guys looking to improve their reputations.
Too bad you didn’t get a chance to see Shumpy go off, which I was lucky enough to catch on the first day of the tournament. I wish I had seen more of him..I think he is the real deal.
Yeah they played together
There wasn’t much ball movement on either side, so they were probably rusty when they did pass. Austin Daye, who I saw driving his “All Daye” Range Rover to the venue, took a ton of shots. Kenyon Martin looked like he had never shot a basketball before in his life, but his D was solid. He also signed my friend’s poker chip. Al Harrington was jolly but I missed his game.
Al Harrington is always Jolly
Dude is a geniunely nice guy. I just don’t want him on my basketball team but otherwise he is a fine human being.
Kenyon Martin hasn’t shot a basketball in at least 8 years, afterall he played with MELO!
As for Billups getting exposed, I wouldn’t worry about it. How many years has the guy played in the league, there is nothing to expose that already has not been exposed. Old guys like Billups treat these types of games as a chance to get in shape. I remember Bird Played in a summer tournament back in 87’ and guys were dunking on him left and right and he averaged like six points. The deal is Larry had been laid up for over 2 months with a bad back, and played in this Pro- Am touranment to get in shape. For the record Larry the legend averaged 29 pts and 9.3 rebounds that season. Not saying that Billups will do that, but that he is probably more interested in getting into shape remember he was laid up much of the summer with his Knee injury.

Yeah, you are probably right
there is nothing to expose that already has not been exposed.
I worry a lot, and I don’t want to see this kid jacking up threes ala Mr. Big Shot. However, I am sure the Chauncy has much wisdom to impart, and Imam seems eager to get imparted upon, so it is all good.
This animal looks like it's wearing a baby mop
I wonder if public school janitors hunt this animal for it’s fine mop like pelt
I found Carmen SanDiego! Guess Where? Go Ahead...That's Right..SanDiego.

The French coveted their moppy hides
King Louis XIV would have them tied up and dragged through the corridors of Versailles. They are great for cleaning marble floors. “PoiTuo” translates into “ass wiper” or “the ass that wipes the corridors” or something.
