Hedge fund manager Ralph Schlosstein, who runs a 5K in under 26 minutes, was paying for two of Tom Brokaw's four New York Knicks tickets, but was refused when trying to renew the seats. The Dolan family's Cablevision, which owns Madison Square Garden, said there was a waiting list for those seats, and that it's against policy to transfer your seats. But there's one other theory: The former NBC anchor's criticism of the Garden. In April he told XM radio, ""I won't renew because I don't like the attitude that the ownership has brought to the community. They have failed their obligation to the city . . . The Garden has lost a lot of its luster." [P6] Which is absolutely true. You just don't say those things when you're apt to break their policy.

The New York Rangers and owner Madison Square Garden are facing a lavender rebellion. Gay fans, such as Kevin Jennings, are growing more vocal in their fight against homophobic epithets hurled during home games. "[Some] fans recalled that the crowd booed when the name of the New York City Gay Hockey Association, a recreational league, flashed briefly across the jumbo screen."

If you’re a Knicks fan, this season has been depressing, and if you’re a Knicks reporter, this Isiah Thomas-Madison Square Garden regime has been repressing.

Yesterday afternoon, MSG security gardens got physical with Knicks beat reporters when they tried to speak with an ejected fan.

Even though the New York Times reports the owners of Madison Square Garden are looking to relocate (once again) their 131-year-old arena, don't let the announcement actually make you think they're moving the avenue-long venue anytime soon.

The plan calls for MSG to jump over Eighth Avenue to the west end of the James A. Farley Post Office. You probably know this post office as that ginormous building with enough steps to persuade you to pay a little extra for a messenger than get a calf workout just to get a stamp.

You might also know the Farley Post Office as the future site of Moynihan Station, the planned replacement for Penn Station, which should be enough to dissuade you from thinking the Garden has any hopes of moving.

The project has plenty of funding, plenty of supporters (read: Hillary Clinton) and virtually zero opponents and yet it still can't get off the ground.

Meanwhile, if the Garden hops across the street, its current building will be razed to make room for – you guessed it – "skyscrapers containing a mix of luxury apartments, office space and stores." Which is sure to draw local community support. Oh, and no fewer than four lawsuits, so expect their "if it fails" plan to move forward, which amounts to little more than renovations.
