Of course Knicks fans at MSG have had enough, but I wouldn't boo this guy. For years we've been watching every freakin team benefit off of these European players, isn't it time for the Knicks to join in? Fredrick Weiss scared them off pretty bad, so we've been stuck with either mediocre college players or no draft pick at all ever since.
I admit, I wasn't thrilled with Gallinari at first, but once I read up on him a little, it was easy to see that this was a solid pick. This kid is 19, and he's 6'9. Finally, a small forward, instead of a second shooting guard. Also, they say that he's the best natural shooter in Europe, and he clearly demonstrates that he can put the ball on the floor as well. Alls I know is, Dan Taft is happy with this pick, and he knows his b-ball.

NY Knicks Draft Danilo Gallinari
5 Nutrition Mistakes That Piss the Hell Out Of Me (Savage Speaks)
1) Diet drinks and sweeteners
Say it with me-You are better off having some plain old table sugar than any product that has NutraSweet, aspartame, equal, acesulfame potassium, etc. Sure, you’ll save some calories, but what you will earn is digestive problems, carcinogenic effects, toxicity to the liver and possible damage to brain tissue. In addition, these products are so god damn sweet that they’ve been shown to cause sugar cravings anyway! Try stevia, xylitol, or unrefined evaporated can juice.
2) Eating lots of dairy for calcium and protein
Dairy foods are the single biggest cause of mucus buildup in the body. Studies have shown that the more mucus you have, the less healthy you are and the shorter you will live. Think about it; we are the only animals that drink other animal’s milk. It’s rather gross, and dairy calcium is poorly absorbed. Cheese is even worse, acting as a quesomorphin, in which when you eat cheese, it binds to some of the same receptors that narcotics do. And it sits like an anvil in your stomach. Cream cheese doesn’t even have any protein, and is the Satan of cheese, which is evil to start with. The only innocent among the dairy family is yogurt. Eat up!
3) Avoiding beans because they give you gas
Absurd!!! Beans are a great source of fiber, protein and iron. Add them anywhere to anything. They’re also cheap as hell. And they clean you out. That’s the fiber in them bitches. Don’t end up like John Wayne on a morgue table with 50 pounds of undigested meat in your colon. You know what really gives you gas? A diet of McDonald’s, sausages, and beer!!!!
4) Avoiding fat because it is high in calories
Making the list, I am progressively becoming more enraged by the stupidity of some people; it is not fat in general that you should worry about, it is the type of fat. Omega 3 fats and monounsaturated are extremely beneficial to the body, and can be found in all nuts, seeds, and fish. If you want to eat fish, just be careful to limit tuna consumption, as you’ll be ingesting that tuna on rye with a nice side of mercury if you’re not careful. Margarine is not necessarily healthier than butter, because of all the extra chemicals that they douse it with. Coconut and chocolate, especially dark, both of which have maligned throughout recent history, have tremendous health benefits. If I hear another anorexic looking broad say “I was so bad today, I put mayo on my sandwich.” Grrrrrrrr
5) Skipping breakfast
Absolute heresy in the church of nutrition, yet so many still do it. Some because they don’t have time, some because they want to save their calories. Do me a favor and save me from your malfunctioning brains, which have already taken over this zombie-like consumer culture. If you go to sleep every night, which most of us do, then you’re already without food for six hours or so. Some longer. Feed your brain!

2008 NBA Draft es Esta Noche
Yes peons, it’s finally here. The night I’ve all been waiting for. With the sixth pick in the 2008 draft, the New York Knicks select… Not how it’s goin’ down. With another you heard it here first right here on www.hiddentracktv.com, the one and only Taftstradamus is spilling the beans on draft night’s biggest trade before it even arrives. Yes folks, tonight, the New York Knicks will be trading their sixth pick, along with David Lee, Stephon Marbury, and Malik Rose, to the Miami Heat for the number 2 pick, Shawn Marion aka the Matrix, and Mark Blount. Whether the Knicks take O.J. Mayo or Michael Beasley with that second pick, I do not know. But I do know this- nobody, and I mean nobody, understands all of the ins and outs of the NBA like I do. And that is why my words manifest into events. Like the mighty Zorgo, I rise from the lake and prophesize. It’s just how I live, baby.
DamNation w/ The Reverend Bob Levy
I’m writing to you from Ohio, Christine and I drove down here to get married. Today is my wedding day, see how devoted I am to you fuckers? Writing a blog for you on my wedding day. I’ll let you know how the wedding went next week.
Let’s go back a couple weeks… I got in a little trouble with the Stern show a couple weeks ago. We were filling in for Ferrall on a Monday night and I went into my rant about being pissed off about being turned down from the show. I ended up saying, “Fuck Gary”. The next morning Gary and Howard tore me a new asshole, I’ve never taken a beating like that on the radio before, but I totally deserved it.
The great thing about the Howard Stern Show is, when they kick your ass they really kick your ass. After I hung up my asshole felt like I’d been raped by the New York Knicks after their 10th straight loss. After that I realized how much I love them and how great they are, if they can make a grown man crawl into a corner and wish he was dead.
God do I love those guys.
Everything has worked out and we’re back to where we were, so I’m happy about that.
After the wedding today we have to drive 7 hours back to Jersey so I can be at Newark airport tomorrow afternoon to go to Dallas with Colin Quinn and Artie Lange. I’m meeting Colin at the airport and we’ll be heading down together to do some radio and TV interviews on Friday morning. We have a big show in Dallas on Friday, it’s on Reverend Bob Levy and Saturday Colin and I are doing Levy’s Comedy Club in Levittown PA. I’m sure there will be some good stories this Sunday on Miserable Men, make sure you tune in to hear all the listeners busting my balls for getting married.
I need to go take a shower, I haven’t taken a shower in 2 days, I can smell my asshole from here. Also, I start my Blog TV radio show on Monday from 6-7 Eastern on Blog TV.
Talk to you guys next week. Have fun, fuckers.
You can get more of the Rev Bob every Sunday night at 7:00 pm on his radio show Miserable Men, Sirius Satellite Radio - Howard 101.

5 Great things about being a Metalhead (Savage Speaks)
1) People are scared of you just because of the music you listen to:
Some of this music is so extreme, violent sounding, and evil, and others are intimidated just because the metal brethren can not only handle, but enjoy such an auditory assault.
2) Heavy metal music can be used as a weapon:
I recently heard a great story about American troops blasting the fuck out of some Taliban hideaways by playing Deicide at a massive volume. While I think that this is a bullshit war by most accounts, I am proud of the military for this one. When one of my jerk friends is pissing me off and I’m driving, I will just turn up the dial on some Cannibal Corpse or Decapitated. Come on Sav, we’re just trying to chill here. Yea me too, bring on the Dying Fetus!!
3) There is some amazing musicianship underneath those generic death growls:
I have no patience for those who immediately shut off from a particular band because “they can’t hear what the guy is saying.” Uh, I think its something about blood and death and war guy. No but seriously, some of these bands topple some deep subject areas, such as psychology, metaphysics, history and politics. This is not to say that I love everyone’s vocal style, or lack thereof (Radiohead I’m looking in your direction), but I give every musician a chance to impress me. (God, I still can’t figure out why Radiohead has such a following!).
4) Metal listeners have their own subculture:
We can talk for hours to a complete stranger about why Richard Christie is an insane drummer or Steve Digiorgio is a bass god. I find true metal heads to be few and far between, and a meeting between us can be a rewarding and invigorating experience.
5) The girls flock to you:
Well, no this actually isn’t true.

This Week on MTV2
Some of you have been hitting me about the Paid Dues commercial bits on MTV2. It is Sucker Free Week and YES it is me! Unfortunately they didn't do the best job of letting people know who's who in terms of the acts although it's does tell you sometimes. It's still pretty awesome that myself and other's in this Indie Hip Hop game are getting some light on MTV2. Tune in this week and check it out. I'm going to try my best to get them on YouTube soon for you to see.
Big L ft. Shyheim - "Furious Anger"
This random skateboard video is pretty cool in itself, but add one of the rarest Big L tracks around, and you got yourself a solid video. The last post about Shyheim reminded me of "Furious Anger", a track he was featured on with Big L, that's absolutely ridiculous.

The first single from the only little kid rapper who any good, Shyheim. How good you ask? He just performed the second verse on this track live on stage at Madison Square Garden with Biggie and Tupac, and stole the show, that's all. Actually that's not all, Dj Premier produced his first single!
