Your Chance to School Mars Blackmon

Among the naked cowboys, overwhelmed Midwestern tourists and panhandlers, New Yorkers may have noticed people parading around the Big Apple looking for a pick-up game. Then again, maybe they just blended into the city's backdrop.


Tomorrow, to tip-off the NBA season, Kia Motors (in partnership with the NBA) will be building a full-size basketball court on an elevated platform, a 3-story DJ tower, and a 8X10' video wall and a live broadcast ESPN 1050 Radio with Michael Kay at NYC's Union Square from 7am to 7pm.

The event is free and will feature current Knicks players, Knicks and other NBA legends and the Knicks City Dancers, along with several other celebrities (like Spike Lee) signing autographs and participating in basketball challenges on the court.

Giant Clam

AP: Giants also win Chowder Bowl at NYC eatery

"The Grand Central Oyster Bar planned to change the name of its New England Clam Chowder to "Giants Clam Chowder" for the week."

Ohh. Sorry GiantS Clam. That's much more appropriate. I wonder if it comes with Osi Umenyiora's Shitake Surprise.

For the record, add Grand Central Station to the list of places where I'd be reluctant to try the seafood.
