They have long checked all the boxes for perennial ineptitude: poor coaching, abysmal management and clueless ownership. They are the biggest joke in New York sports, outgaining the Mets by a margin and even slipping past the perpetually befuddling Jets.
There are very few adults in the metro sports scene who draw the fan’s ire quite like Knicks owner James Dolan. He has helped preside over an embarrassingly awful franchise that has won a shade fewer than one-third of its games across the past six seasons. The Knicks are a collective 163-329 (.331) during that time, and Dolan has thickened the divide with a unique combination of arrogance and insolence.
By now, only the strictest of diehard Knicks fans would dare dig deeply into their pockets and join the filthy rich pseudo-fans that occupy Madison Square Garden on a regular basis. One can only imagine a New York franchise that rivals the Knicks in putrid play for more than a half-decade now.
But wait…
In fact, there is a New York team that rivals the Knicks’ B-budget operation. By now, given the forum, you have presumably guessed the identity of that team.
They are your New York Giants.
