  • bicyclethief, on 11/13/2008, -1/+11You are more stupid than the Onion thought.
  • d2002, on 11/13/2008, -2/+12Knowing New York I know they'll f this up somehow.
  • Gigabutt, on 11/13/2008, -1/+10Woosh.
  • PrismoFillusion, on 11/13/2008, -0/+9As a Knicks fan, I can speak for the fanbase in saying that we're STUNNED to be 5-3 right now. Most fans would be satisfied with a 35 win season. To think that we could even come close to playing .500 is unbelievable.

    However, it's the Knicks - I'll remain skeptical until further notice.
  • felidaeus, on 11/13/2008, -1/+8SOMETHING is stupider than you thought.

  • bretto, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3Well played Onion...well played.
  • TheHeat, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3Once again. I read the first sentence or so of an article on the page without looking at the source, and thought this was real. Onion always gets me at least for a quick second. Wish they'd write something about my Lions.
  • SirChasm, on 11/13/2008, -2/+4Onion never fails to make me laugh, which is something I can't say about many other funny thigns posted on digg.

    "said fan Adam Blake, 32, whose face has recently begun to contort in such a way that his mouth curls upwards at the corners, often exposing the fronts of his teeth"

    Greatness.
  • inactive, on 11/13/2008, -1/+3They should clap. 2 games over 500 is probably the best they have to hope for all season.
  • java81, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Ahm you mean Jindal/ Pawlenty-- 2012, Palin ssssuuuuucks!
  • Mainland, on 11/14/2008, -1/+3NO U
  • heresy_fnord, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2"Upon returning home, fans were shocked to learn that emotional connections could be made with friends and family by not making sarcastic comments about their weight and intelligence and instead wrapping their arms around each other and pressing their bodies close together."

    Hahahahaha!
  • bullsfan03, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Why'd you have to out-bid D'Antoni from my bulls? Damn you! :)
  • ZeeZee2k, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2Winning is great but our number 1 goal is to get under the cap by 2010, and we need to stick to that plan.
    we have a tough schedule ahead.
  • CarolFil, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2I see what you did there.
  • felidaeus, on 11/13/2008, -0/+2They were selling Palin '09 shirts in Canada.
  • inactive, on 11/13/2008, -1/+2More accurate than other sources?
  • felidaeus, on 11/13/2008, -1/+2Now now, no need to insult actual disabled people.

    He's just stupid.
  • zadadka, on 11/13/2008, -4/+5I like Cheese.

  • str1fe, on 11/13/2008, -2/+3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion
  • pyngthyngs, on 04/24/2009, -0/+1Funny stuff. The Knicks can be tough fans.
  • bullsfan03, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1The "2010 plan" all the teams are planning for is a joke. Although it's possible that a team lands one of the stars in that class, its more likely a good amount of them will stay with their current team.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a bulls fan who really hopes something will happen in the 2010 offseason, but it's doubtful for all these teams planning to clear space for 2010 to actually land all these studs.
  • Dkan84, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1personally im scared to watch a game only to realize its all a lie
  • hipnerd, on 11/13/2008, -0/+1The past three coaches have begged the owner to do this. Don't hold your breath.
  • metfan630, on 11/13/2008, -3/+3This 4-2 start might be the only good news us Knicks fans get until we land Lebron in 2010
  • felidaeus, on 11/13/2008, -3/+2WASHINGTON—Following the republicans' surprising 163-364 finish, fans' instinctual arrogance has been interrupted by what many are referring to as "a strange liquid flowing from the eyes," an act resulting in a depressing sight that can be used to respond to successful cheers by the democrats.
  • rentmitchum, on 11/14/2008, -3/+1I hate sports and I hate the Onion.. it's so dorky and childish.. they try way too hard like the rest of you.

  • rentmitchum, on 11/13/2008, -23/+3Clapping? Is this satire or are sports even stupider than I thought?
