    New York City Council says you've got 10 years to find a new place to live, Knicks and Rangers.

    Golly, I sure hope those threadbare franchises can scratch together a few nickels to build a new arena. Or that they can find investment money to build a major arena in that nondescript city.

    Didn't they just pump a lot of money into renovations over several years?

    What they need to do is find out who the future mayor is going to be and then round up a bunch of embarrassing photos to blackmail him into extending their stay.

    Yeah, MSG is really dragging Midtown down. How great must it be for Dolan to have the city council to tell him to get lost instead of him having to pressure the council for a new place?

    Finding a spare couple of city blocks in Manhattan shouldn't be a problem.

    Good real estate near the porn shops on 8th between 40th and 50th.
