The Addition of LaRon Landry and Knick News

Check out this jacked mother fucker!
I would like to send my welcome to the newest Jet, LaRon Landry. The Safety position has been a dire need for the Jets since the multiple leg injuries to Jim Leonhard and the lack of ability to play from Eric Smith. LaRon Landry is known for his ability to knock the living shit out of opposing players and is not a liability in coverage (a la Eric Smith). He will be a great counter to the TE tandem of Ron "Yo Soy Fiesta" Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. It is important to note Landry is not exactly healthy. His Achilles is not in exactly the best condition and even went as far as denying surgery. He has also missed 15 games in the past two seasons which should definitely raise some concern. With that said the 1 year deal is relatively harmless since if injury is a problem, the Jets can just let him go the following year.

The way the media portrays Carmelo Anthony is really starting to piss me off as a Knicks fan. They continuously call him selfish and a poison to the team. But if anything since the move to New York, Carmelo has seemed to have a mature outlook on basketball. To me, it seems he realized that there is no way in hell he is the best player in the league, and much rather win a ring with the team he has loved his whole life the New York Knicks. He has a great relationship with every member of the team and I am positive all of them would vouch for him. Under Woodson's system the Knicks seem to be striving in their own way, especially Carmelo and Amare. The Knicks have been playing unselfish basketball and no one player stands out in particular. Whatever this fellow Woodson is doing, it is working. With this the Knicks really should have no problem making it to the playoffs. I'm going to go as far as saying maybe Phil Jackson is not the answer. Woodson has garnered results WAY better than I expected. The Knicks have looked great on defense and very smooth on offense. With the addition of a healthier and younger PF, the Knicks can be a force to be reckoned with.

That's all for now.
