What You Know About Demetris Knichols?

Booyah!!!

It's about damn time that the Knicks did something to get me relatively excited...in a shocking trade during last night's draft, the Knicks sent Channing Frye and Steve Francis to Portland for Zach Randolph. While this is certainly a positive move...the best part is that the Knicks also acquired the rights to my boy: D-Nick!!!!

A key contributor to Syracuse Orange for the past 4 years, Demetris truly became a star last year as he led the Big East in scoring during his senior year.

Hopefully D-Nick will have a better NY career than the last Orangeman to come to the Big Apple, John Wallace.

Here is a quick assessment of Demetris from CBS Sportsline:

What You Know About Kobayashi?

A shocking and stunning press release has just been leaked into the world of "Speed Eating", as legendary Japanese hero, Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi, has announced that he will not be participating in this year's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th in Coney Island.

Despite reports that Kobayashi suffered a jaw injury during his breakneck training, many speculate that his announcement was made in fear of losing to local boy, Joey Chestnut.

Chestnut recently beat Takeru's record of 53 doggies in 12 minutes, shocking professional and amateur athletes around the world.

What You Know About 'Roid Rage?

What You Know About Rod Beck R.I.P.?

As a baseball fan, I probably should have known about this already, but I'm just picking up on this story now...

Famed 'mustached' pitcher, Rod Beck, passed away at 38. That guy threw some high heat and was a major threat every time he got on the rubber.

An unfortunate loss way too early in life:

What You Know About Monday Mustache Madness?

Going forward, today shall be known to all "That is that" readers as "Monday Mustache Madness!" Every Monday will feature a new collection of mustached characters. I encourage you to leave a comment or send me a note with your personal request for new mustached features for the upcoming weeks. This week will focus on Major League Baseball players, as requested by DonBranDon.

In the early 1970s, Major League Baseball players seldom, if ever, wore facial hair. The practice had been widespread in the 19th Century, but by the early 20th Century it was rare for a player to sport a mustache or beard. As detailed in the book Mustache Gang, Oakland A's eccentric owner Charlie Finley decided to hold a mustache-growing contest within his team. Many of the players grew them, and Rollie Fingers' distinctive style is probably the best-remembered. When the A's faced the Cincinnati Reds whose team rules forbade facial hair, in the 1972 World Series, facial hair was still sufficiently unusual in baseball that the Series was dubbed by media as "The hairs vs. the squares". Thanks in part to the on-field success of the A's in the early 1970s, along with changing fashions, facial hair has again become very common among baseball players in the intervening years.

It's no surprise to anyone how damn good Bo Jackson was in the original Tecmo Bowl...but this clip simply demonstrates the absolution domination!

What You Know About A Purple Camaro & Twin Poodles?

I can't seem to forget the fact that F'in Carlos F'in Beltran drives a purple Camaro and owns twin poodles...this must be the reason that he can't seem to do diddly shit to help us (the Mets) win a game.

Seriously, how are you supposed to honestly root for a guy that makes as much money as he does, perform so inconsistenly, seemingly not give a shit about winning, and the douchebag is driving home after a loss to the Yankees in an f'in purple camaro to feed his twin poodles.I just can't deal with this much longer from him...

OY VEY!
