<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">December 15, 2006 -- NOW we're left to fig ure out whether James Dolan actually believes the things he says or whether he prefers that only you do. But first, a word from our sponsors. Mike Francesa and Chris Russo have conducted some good interviews. The one with Larry Brown at the end of last season, for example, was a peach. But the one they conducted Tuesday with Dolan was a lemon, the kind, had it been the work of others, they'd have ridiculed for months. For starters, when the inevitable issue arose about Dolan's perceived intolerance for MSG Network voices giving too much bad news and thumbs-down opinion about Garden teams - Marv Albert, Voice of The Garden for 30 years, had been sacked for his inability to see the bright side of darkness - Dolan said he knows New York fans are too sharp to be treated like dolts. On the other hand, Dolan added, Garden announcers are Garden employees and he won't allow anyone telling MSG Network audiences to "Don't watch the team anymore" or "Don't be Knicks fans anymore." At that point, it was incumbent upon Francesa and/or Russo - or any member of any high school Audio-Visual Squad - to ask who, among Dolan's employees, ever said "Don't watch the team anymore," "Don't be a Knicks fan anymore," or anything even close. </div> Source
