I’m as much a fan of Jeremy Lin as anyone else (I managed to pick him up in my pool after his first game as a starter and have not looked back), but this linsanity nonsense has to stop.
It was funny at first, and everyone enjoyed shouting it after every basket he made, but it’s done. Not to say that NY isn’t going to keep going nuts the rest of the season the way the Knicks are Linning, I’m just sick of the tagline (and it sounds way too close to Vinsanity).
Here are a few options to keep the linsanity fresh:
LINitless / No LINit
LINception
LINmatic (and they play Nas every time he has the ball. Who in NY hates Nas…)
MadiLIN Square Gardens
LINvite Only
All LIN
LINfallable
LINhospitable
The Holy LINity
LINgenious
LINtensity in Ten Cities
Mother of LINvention
Oh wait… All of those are both annoying and pointless.
Carmelo’s back and they lost to the Heat, I see all this ending in a New York Linute. Let’s just scrap all these taglines and get back to just watching basketball. I like Jeremy Lin and wish him the best but please, let’s can all these annoying puns.
