Does the NBA have law and order?

If NBA commissioner David sterns, and his league rules do not involve a strong part against Isiah being the leader of a club his policies should be adjusted. Some may wonder that he worries more about the dress code then a possible sexual harassment suit. Stern sounds like he is trying to present himself as a lawyer and defend where he stands.

Because of the fact that the case was as clear as day to sterns, and that he was guilty on 7 of 9 accounts there should be no reason on why he thinks the case is unclear. What is truly important in my eyes, is not that Stern is trying to cover his tracks but the simple fact that he should be focusing on what's appropriate as a literal fact and what's appropriate as the NBA's policy.

NY Giants kings of new york

The Giants defense remained stable during there comeback but there offense turned it on when it was needed. The second half the Giants came out of the locker room with enough energy to light up New York. There offense scored 28 points in the second half alone, rallying from a 10 point deficit to defeat the Jets.

The win was the third straight for the Giants putting them at (3-2), after a (0-2) start keeping them in the NFC east race. The Jets had a 17-7 lead going in to half time, and Eli Manning had a 0.0 QB rating. He came out of the locker room as a different player, and went 5-5 finishing off with a 17 yard touchdown on there first drive. This is the epitome of the Giants and if they play this way all year I expect good things.

Another quick exit for the Yankees

As another October rolls around the Yankees have rolled out of the playoffs in the first round yet again. The difference in this year is that this may result in drastic change. This may be the end of a 12 year employment fir Joe Torre. The bombers faded away in a 6-4 defeat. This may lead to Steinbrenner taking action like he promised over the weekend.

His statement went along the lines that he pays Torre to much, and that he is the highest payed manager in baseball, and that he is not producing like he should be. Tony LaRussa has came out of the woodwork as the Yankees most likely candidate for the position. As a personal affect I would hate to see Torre go he has produced a great ball club and many championships for the dynasty.

Judgement for Isiah

Isiah Thomas is facing a possible ten million dollar law suit. He is being charged with sexual harassment, he is accused of calling Browne Sanders vulgar names including Bitch and Ho. He allegedly then tried to come on to her. Although the panel did not come to a verdict they did say that they were in favor of Mrs. Sanders, and that the only question now is how harshly to punish Isiah.

Thomas who usually has a cheerful grin on was gloomy when meeting with the MSG lawyers. They answered eight of nine questions that were addressed at this meeting. They mostly included that he did in fact harass Browne and that she was fired when she complained about it. She complained that she had to work in a animal like environment and when she complained the garden fired her instead of investigating. The only question left is whether Isiah will face punitive punishment.

The National League on the edge of our seats as usual

The Philadelphia Phillies will be able to relax for a few days. The New York mets come short once again leaving fans on suicide watch. This gave the Phillies the National League title. The mets made history again. As usual for all the wrong reasons, they became the first team in history to blow a seven game lead with only seventeen games left.

This made for a little twist considering the Phillies became the first team in history to post 10,000 losses. The Phillies with 12 games to play and a 6.5 game lead back in 64 blew it. So this proves that it was simply there year and it was the mets turn to collapse. The Phillies are returning to the post season for the first time since 1993. To conclude star Ryan Howard states There's only one more celebration to try and go for now and that's the whole thing".

A bad day in seattle for the sixth year

The Mariners couldn't grasp playoff hope for the sixth consecutive year. Although they pulled through to win there final five games in a row it just simply was not enough. They were 20 games over .500 and leading the wild car up until august 25th. That was until they fell apart losing 15 out of 17 games. During this time frame the Yankees covered ground and flew into the post season.

It wasn't all negative for the Mariners though. They finished off at 88-74 which was a drastic ten game improvement from last year. They finished off in second place in the American league west. Which again a great improvement after dead last for three consecutive years. Mariners manager says that they feel good going into the off season and that there players are close then ever, and that they will continue these improvements next year.
