Timmay and Trey together again!
October 11th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
And Caris in Brooklyn. Wonder if the 3 of them still hangout. Could be fun for those guys
October 11th, 2017 at 12:27 PM ^
Yeah, but who wants to go to Brooklyn....yuck.
/s
October 11th, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
Ummm me. I live there.
October 11th, 2017 at 3:36 PM ^
I guess you missed the /s

No I saw it, just sayin lol. I didn't downvote you.
October 12th, 2017 at 10:38 AM ^
No I saw it, just figured I'd mention it since you responded to me. Wasn't me who downvoted you lol.
October 11th, 2017 at 3:23 PM ^
I'd rather be in Brooklyn than Manhattan. A reason I have lived there for 20 years.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:07 PM ^
Already made it to a couple of Brooklyn games to root for Caris. But they were officially rebuilding and empty seats meant a friend could get paper. I'll have to check with him to see if the Knicks are bad enough right now to do the same.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:17 PM ^
the Knicks fans are at an apathy because of the management and Dolan. They're going to be bad this season.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:18 AM ^

IMO Chad Henne is the luckiest guy in the world.
I wonder if he holds the QB record for most seasons in the NFL without starting?
October 11th, 2017 at 11:26 AM ^
That might actually be Todd Collins.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
Looks like Collins played 16 years with 21 starts, but 13 of those starts were in 1997, so I guess he was a starter for a year.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
October 11th, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
He started 3 entire seasons - 2 for Miami and 1 for Jax.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:29 AM ^
Clearly you're too young to remember Todd Collins. He gets a lifetime achievement award for back-up QBs: 12 years, 21 starts. Henne has only played 9 years and already had 53 starts.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
..not a bad gig if you can get it

Make millions and still have knee catilage when you retire!

Three.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
Doug Pederson.. Eagle's head coach and Brett Favre's backup.
October 11th, 2017 at 1:57 PM ^
I'm more impressed with Dan Orlovsky being in the league since 2005.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:39 AM ^
October 11th, 2017 at 11:25 AM ^
Way to go, Alfonso Clark Burke back together with THJ! We need the Knicks to pick up Nik, GRIII and maybe Mitch. Couldn't be any worse than what they have.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
I wonder what Mitch is up to these days. I imagine him with a van, a large dog and several friends going around solving paranormal mysteries.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:52 AM ^
Mitch is averaging (or was as of April) almost 200 per game in his bowling league.

+1 Cokes to you, sir.

That would be white Russians, Dude.

Brevity has its advantages!
October 11th, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
I was curious about the same thing, and a quick Google search reveals this Chicago Trib piece from April:
Mitch McGary is now competing in ... bowling leagues back in Indiana. I kid you not. But he says he's not trying to become a pro bowler, and plans to return to "the NBA or overseas." It's too bad Mitch couldn't stay off the chronic...
It still surprises me that of that group of 5 starters from the 2013 team, THJ looks like he'll end up the best pro (though I suppose GRIII still has time to blossom). I figured Stauskas would at least make himself a useful Kyle Korver/Redick-style gunner, Trey would be a passable PG, and Mitch would be a versatile big on a team that knew how to use his passing skills and high motor... shows how much I know.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:28 AM ^
Excellent chance that the basketball team wins as many if not more games than the Knicks this season!
October 11th, 2017 at 11:35 AM ^
dont see him as a starter in the league
October 11th, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
I'd play in FL no contest. Good weather, low COL and no state income tax. I'd never want to play in NY or CA. I think Curry only kept 45% of his salary last season.
October 11th, 2017 at 11:43 AM ^
October 11th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
October 11th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
I remember an article from a few months (maybe years) ago, that detailed how complicated athlete taxes are since the they have to file in every state in which they played over the season, and the rules for howe to divide their income into those chunks is different in every state.... but for a trade-off of a multi-million dollar salary, I'll take it!!
October 11th, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
Or NH! Okay, limiting factor that we dont have any sports teams. But the 100% of the professional athletes here keep 100%
October 11th, 2017 at 12:19 PM ^
That gets mitigated somewhat by the "jock taxes" enacted by pretty much every state. Also, players go to those big, high cost markets, for added endorsement dollars.
I think the whole "no state income tax" issue generally becomes a small potatoes thing for team sport athletes. State and local income taxes are not why Curry takes home 44% of his salary. That state tax bill is certainly not nothing, but it doesn't really change his life.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:58 PM ^
Got to keep only 45% of his yearly salary of roughly $40 million? He could be allowed to keep only 20% of it and I still wouldn't feel bad for him. Not that he's asking me to, but still, he's doing just fine. Just under $20 million going right into his pocket every single year.
I'm guessing he's getting quite a bit more to add onto that with endorsement deals.
October 12th, 2017 at 9:50 AM ^
Are you aware that playing for a FL basketball team would mean that you would have to be in FL a minimum of 41 days per year? That's wayyyyyyy too much. Throw in practice and such and it gets absurd. You'd probably have to actually LIVE there.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:04 PM ^
Wish him luck, but I can see how his game doesn't really translate to the NBA. Hopefully he gets some run on the Knicks.
October 11th, 2017 at 12:11 PM ^
October 11th, 2017 at 1:59 PM ^
I could see him playing on the second unit, but it sounds like he isn't assured of much time on the team, at least right now.
