• Indians Announcer Says Racist Remark During Game

  July 26, 2012

  Cleveland Indians television analyst Rick Manning may want to think the next time he tries to make a clever remark.

  Shin-Soo Choo hit a double last night of the center field wall that barely missed leaving the park and Manning comes up with this gem.

  I wouldn't have expected anything less from the team that still has Chief Wahoo as its mascot.

  First of all, he got the ethnicity wrong. Sushi is a Japanese cuisine and Choo is Korean.

  Second of all, have you learned nothing from the Jeremy Lin situation. It may have been a harmless joke, but even the slightest, most innocent remark can offend people, case in point ESPN's "Trailer park day" remark.

  It was just an innocent remark with no ill will towards Choo and probably won't get in any trouble, but next time he just needs to think.

• MSG's Stock Plummets After Lin Heads for Houston

  July 20, 2012

  

  When Jeremy Lin left the Big Apple for the Lone Star state, it changed the entire dynamic of the New York Knicks as they now prepare without the budding NBA star.

  But the MSG stock might take some time to recover. A lot of time.

  According to reporter Darren Rovell, in the last four days, the MSG stock has lost $93 million in value. On Wednesday, the stock lost one percent alone.

  When Jeremy Lin made his first start with the Knicks back in February, the stock was trading at $29.49 and thanks to "Linsanity", the stocks soared to a record high of $38.80.

  Since Lin signed the offer sheet with the Houston Rockets, MSG shares fell to $35.50, an 8.5 percent fall.

  Knicks owner James Dolan said that he was betrayed by Lin when he signed the offer sheet by the Rockets after the offer was re-structured. Now it seems as if Dolan has betrayed the shareholders.
