The Proud Franchise

Greg Oden Cannot Be Cock Blocked

 

Could this be the lady friend Greg Oden is sending lewd pictures to?

Earlier this week, there was an outrage over pictures of Oden's member posted on the internet--which has caused Enzyte stock to skyrocket.

I Dream of Rubio

The Don is at it again.

There are reports from a certain New York publication that Donnie Walsh still has his eyes on a certain 19 year old from Spain. No, the pedophilia laws in Spain are not more lenient for older, upper class Caucasian males. Walsh is still looking for ways to acquire Ricky Rubio, the Spanish prodigy originally drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves.  

Knicks Consider Jumping the Gun?

According to Chris Sheridan from ESPN's True Hoop Blog network, Donnie Walsh did not dismiss the possibility of the New York Knicks trading for Gilbert Arenas.  

Now I have to ask two questions:

Knicks to Finally Free Darko?

See what I did there?

Is it just me, or do we get a juicy Darko Milicic-to-Knicks trade rumor at every important market juncture?

Just because it belongs here...

There will be many more such videos in The Proud Ones' repertoire.

I Didn't Know Chad Ford Liked to Get Wet

The Worldwide Leader thinks The Proud Franchise is going to pass on Jerryd Bayless for the Olive Garden special.

Russell Westbrook ain't the only guard that can take it to the rack.

The final installment of Chad Ford's Mock Draft says Danilo Gallinari's gonna be dead in the middle of Little Italy. Little did he know we're ain't picking a middle man who wouldn't do diddly.

Are we?

I mean it's not like we've ever passed on the sure thing in favor of an overhyped Euro prospect before, right?

Okay, maybe Chad's not on the Sherman Hemsley. Maybe he just knows the Knicks.

“You know how I be.

I thought a transcript might prove helpful for anyone (like myself) who may have undergone a little shell-shock watching Sunday night’s installment of the newest Negro Channel reality program, Shaq Fu: Can’t Stay Away.

BET cameras lazily follow Shaq around malls, strip malls, strip clubs, club clubs and pep rallies… all while he should be preparing for the upcoming season.

Obviously Black Announcer: This week, The Diesel pops some shit at Kobe.

Couldn’t you see it now? It’d be just like Keyshia Cole’s shit. Wayyyy better than College Hill.

A People's History of Suffering

New York magazine has a step-by-step booklet as good as any "[blank] For Dummies" regarding the New York Knicks' perpetual embarrassment. "Absolutely, Positively the Worst Team in the History of Professional Sports" is Jeff Koplon's 7-page tirade on the most recent stage of the once-proud franchise's descent due to cancer of the heart, brain and testicles. The shit is brain food for any confused Knick observer.

In other words, if you don't quite understand why we're so pissed here, "Mr. Koplon's Opus" will provide some solid background.

Long live the hate!

Good work, Jeff. The Knicker Lovers here at TPF salute you.

(Did I link that shit enough times for you, homie?)
