FUNNY SPORTS SATIRE
KNICKS HEAD COACH, LARRY
BROWN TURNS TO GOD.
Lifelong atheist, Larry Brown, the Knicks' head
coach, has turned to God for answers to the team's dismal
performance in this traumatic season of obliterated expectations.
"I pray now, every night," Brown said. "I pray, first of all, that
there is a God. And if there is, I pray for Him to inject my guys
with some intelligence and a clue. I pray, most of all, for the
season to end."
Somewhat morbidly, Brown admitted, "I even pray sometimes for our
plane to crash."
Brown, who is Jewish, said he's never been religious and has "never
really believed in God," but he has now taken to joining his players
in the center-court prayer huddle after games.
"Why not?" he asked. "What do I have to lose?"
Brown said mostly what's discussed in these huddles "is not actually
prayer, but gripes about playing time and plans for partying later
that night." Nevertheless, he said he sometimes finds the
"camaraderie moving."

"We're never closer as a team than in this posture of prayer."
Brown confirmed reports that several Knicks lately have been taking
the court in "dress shoes," while others have been malingering
dubious ailments such as "sudden migraines," "acute abdominal pain
right before games," and "diverticulitis-type stuff."
He said he's made it clear that "sneakers must be worn on the court,
with Knicks uniforms, nothing else," and that, going forward,
players resisting team rules would see dwindling playing time.
"We don't want playing time," Stephon Marbury, the team's
point-guard, retorted, a cluster of his teammates nearby nodding
their agreement. |

Badminton is a well liked and familiar sport in the United States, but
predominantly is a fun game for the beach or back yard. We know that once
Americans see the other badminton - international badminton, the world's
fastest racket sport - they will want more.
