Note to Donnie Walsh, new team president for the Knicks...

Please, please get rid of Isiah Thomas! His being stripped of the title of team president is a step in the right direction, but New York fans, I believe, are not above begging on our hands and knees for you to do whatever you can to get rid of Thomas as head coach as well. It makes me sad, because I remember with great fondness the 1989 tv movie "A Mother's Courage: The Mary Thomas Story," a really inspiring story about Isiah's mother trying to raise her kids right in a poor, dangerous neighborhood...

Sidebar: At one point in the movie, when some thugs come looking for Isiah, Mary greets them with a sawed-off shotgun and the words, "There's only one gang here and I lead it." From that moment on, my mother dubbed our family "The Gorry Gang," a name by which many people still know us.

...but now, is there anything redeeming to say about Mary Thomas' son, either on or off the court? This season is lost, but it's not too late to start fresh for next year...
