We obviously have all the ingredients for a complete freaking disaster in New York: Stephon Marbury is angry and perhaps AWOL, Isiah Thomas is covering his rump ... and according to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News, Starbury has threatened to reveal some dark secrets about Zeke when told he'd be benched."Isiah has to start me," Marbury fumed, according to the source. "I've got so much (stuff) on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can (get) me. But I'll (get) him first. You have no idea what I know."And I'm not sure I want to know. Aww, who am I kidding? I guarantee at least a dozen reporters are staking out Steph as we speak type. (Seriously.) And with Starbury's loose-lipped tendencies, this might actually happen. But the fact Zeke might have stuff on Steph? That actually frightens me. I mean, the stuff we know about Marbury is rather wild. There's worse stuff Isiah knows about?!
The fact all these threats and everything happened on the team plane 10,000 feet above the breadbasket of America... man, this team needs a reality show. Ian O'Connor, a columnist for the Bergen Record, throws out an anonymously sourced claim that the mile-high argument came to blows! If you're a Knicks fan, you have to believe this is going to get worse before it gets better.

1. Golly, great stuff here Tom...maybe there is an opening for you at TMZ. How nice it is to have you cut and paste a re-re-report news.

2. I know, it's so easy an idiot could do it, huh!?! So why don't you have a blog again?

3. Who cares! You're talking about the Knicks?

4. Golly gee Tommy, seems the only comments here are about your inept posting, cutting and pasting and re-re-re-reporting. Like I said, keep the day job, and yes, any one can blog. You must have long breaks at Walmanrt.

5. Forget about Tom, this is another instance of a street thug, who plays basketball, is rich and ignorant and wants to be noticed. Step is a loser and nothing is going to change that. He and Michael V. are probably bonding as we speak and telling each other how the rest of the world is screwed up!

6. Geez, what ever happened to the NY Knicks? They are like the Baltimor Orioles of baseball. A once proud fanchise that used to be a solid powerhouse is now a picture of futility in their respective sports. It's time to get rid of Zeke, and Marbury. How about the GM as well, and owner. Just revamp the entire organization.

7. How the Dolan's allow this monkey parade to carry on is a complete joke. Zeke is a low-life who smokes pot and womanizes with his sick, demented posse he has put together called the "Knicks." These thugs are complete losers. Our media in New York is comprised of liberal fools who don't want to buck the trend, and in doing so, kiss up to these thugs and interview them as if they are normal people. The Knicks are all animals.

Steph is an idiot, but he can hoop.

12. I didn't read the article beyond the first few words . . . because the author starts off using vulgarity ("freaking" is just a euphemism for the f-word), and it's totally unnecessary. Couldn't everyone out there just leave out the filthy adjectives and nouns? Hmmm? How low must we all sink for shock value or to appear "cool?"

14. These "columnists" know that the media will jump on any negative news. Who cares about all this garbage?
If there were more secure people with greater self-
esteem, none of these guys could prosper from printing this trash. How many skeletons are in
their closets? They have not done anything in their
lives that make them newsworthy.

16. Thomas is a snake. Stephon Marbury is a good player who is frustrated with being on a team that has been mismanaged and terribly coached. WHY DOES ISAIAH THOMAS STILL HAVE A JOB WHEN HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF SEXUAL HARRASSMENT? If the coach and player came to blows on a plane, then both should be suspended and a third party should come in to be a moderator. This is ridiculous.

17. To think, the Knicks were one of the "big winners" according to another loudmouth, Stephen A. Smith after the NBA draft earlier this year!
