A letter to Andy Reid

Dec. 19, 2006

Dear Andy Reid
Head Coach Philadelphia Eagles

Subject: Thanks for destroying Christmas

On behalf of my family I would like to thank you for god damn ruining my families Christmas.

Four weeks ago, my family celebrated when we knew that the Christmas Day game Dallas game would meaning nothing. Hey at that point Donovan was lost for the season and we turned to everyone favorite midget quarterback Jeff Garcia to save the season. We all thought the season was going to be lost and we wish it were. Then Garcia beats Carolina on Monday Night, beats Washington and then beats the Giants.

Wow thanks a lot, now we have to deal with family members screaming at the TV about T.O., Uncle Steve drinking Natural Ice all day till he throws up all over little Johnnie’s new Elmo doll, and all of the children in the family learning new Christmas songs that include the works T.O. and sucks. Then if they loose I have to run all over the house to hide all of the sharp objects, downers and tell them that its not the right decision to jump off the Ben Franklin Bridge.

I hope that you and yours have the same miserable Christmas and thanks again for destroying our holiday season.

Sincerely
Wives all over the Philadelphia area

Isaiah doing what he does best

For the last couple of years, the Knicks have been led by a total goof ball. Since taking over Isaiah Thomas has over the Knicks have became one of the greatest jokes in sports, in line with the Clipper of the late 90s, Buccaneers of the early 80s and the Royals over the last decade. No one thought it could hit rock bottom, but on Saturday night it did. With his team trailing by 20 by to the Nuggets, Thomas told members of the team to commit hard fouls if they had a chance, according to published reports. Marty Collins listen to his head coach horse collaring JR Smith late in the fourth quarter, the NFL would have flagged Collins for a horse collar tackle. After the foul all the fun started. Smith went back at Collins and then everyones favorite Gary Coleman look a like Nate Robinson got involved and tackled Smith, sparking the flash point. While all of this was going on, Melo Anthony hit Collins in the face, with a slap/punch.

Some say that Melo should get the book thrown at him, but Thomas should get at least a ten game suspension in his role in this, but that might be a good thing for the knicks. They might win eight of 10 with him away.

After everything was finished, Thomas addressed the media and said that Nuggets players deserved it because they were still on the floor when they were up by 20 and Smith should not have tried to dunk on them again.

Ok, lets get one thing straight, this is not Pee Wee football, CYO basketball, everyone is making millions and if you are getting beat by 20 take it like a man, do not order your thugs to hurt a player on the other team. The best thing about this situation is that Knicks owner Charles Dolan loves Isaiah and thinks that he is doing a great job. With the East being so bad there is a very really shot that they will be in the playoffs and lord help us all. So that could mean only one thing more of Zeke next year, what a great idea.

By the way, good way to celebrate your 150 loss with the organization Isaiah. Many more to you.
