Always been a big fan of the Knicks, all the way back in the day when they had guys like Bernard King, P Ewing and all the real players who have graced Madison Square Garden. I've seen two Knick games this week in NY but I have to say I was real disappointed in the way the players did not play any kind of defense. When the subs came int he game it was different but as soon as the starters came back, well, the whole thing was almost sick to see.. the overall lack of effort on the defensive end was pathetic.. I really do miss watching the college guys play, they give 100% each and every time out, and most of those guys never make it to the NBA. They play for the love of the game, not dollars... Uff a meg... Poor poor poor... Wish they didn't make soooo much money sometimes, maybe they would have a different look about their own life and the effect they have on countless many who watch the game, not to mention the millions of kids watching the game, trying to learn how to play the game maybe, the kids who want their game to be like the nba guys is just a shame... Especially when the guys out there are making millions not play hard... I get a little miffed about the whole thing... Playing hard should come by itself, but I'm guessing when these guys get the money, then they seem to loose perspective in what and why they are there...
Waiting for the courtesy car to take us to the airport in New Jersey, 90 dollars to the airport from Manhattan is not to bad, just hoping the guy does not expect a big tip da.. We have used most cabs here in the big apple when we have been getting around, it has been pretty cold while we have been here, not to nice to walk around and see things, we tried many times, but it was always nice to get into a warm cab... Most of the cab rides we've taken have not cost more than 15 dollars including tip, which is not to bad actually.. The price of getting around here is much less than back 'home'.. Taking a cab in Norway is very very expensive in comparison to what it costs here... bla bla bla I know... gotta go anyway... About 12 hours and I'm back 'home' in Norway!! Yippie!!
