		<title>Quote of the Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“I was glad to hear [what Tracy McGrady said], and I totally agree with him, ‘cause I’m new here, too.  I think NY should be on everyone’s mind if you’re a player.  It’s a great city; one of the best in the world.  To me, the passion of NY fans has been evident over the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories of a Championship Series [Part 2]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To hear the story told, the New York Knicks did not win its first-ever championship on May 8, 1970.  Such affirmation was quite remarkable to hear, because everything we know about the culmination of the 1969-70 Knicks’ title run references that singular day.
And, yet, that isn’t the absolute truth.
“When we walked out of Boston Garden [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not This Time, Marty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rangers 3, Devils 1, seemed like an anomaly given who was in net opposite New York’s Henrik Lundqwist.
If Martin Brodeur, the New Jersey goalie who has re-written the record books during 18 years of brilliance, played at Madison Square Garden instead of the other side of the Hudson River, his monument would’ve already been erected [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Be In Archie&#8217;s Shoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two very similar, yet distinct, teams comprise Super Bowl XLIV.  The Indianapolis Colts, once 14-0, represent the AFC.  The New Orleans Saints, once 13-0, are the NFC’s best.  So, it certainly seems like the best team in each conference is worthy.
With a week to go, the Colts are favored between four and five points, depending [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wrong Side of History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In basketball media guides, they are among a series of categories known as ‘Superlatives’, which contain the best and worst of individual and team records.
The game that was played at MSG on Sunday afternoon would be listed in such a category, for the New York Knocks was on the wrong side of history.  That’s what [...]]]></description>
