Here is an interesting but strange story from New York Press.
It's about the fact actors are seen portraying fans in ads promoting the Knicks. The weird part isn't that, it's the fact the Knicks express surprise to learn of this from a reporter.
I heard about the actors-as-fans thing more than a month ago but didn't get around to writing it because it didn't seem like a big deal, and because I assumed it must have been reported elsewhere by the time I heard it.
Of course, that's also what I thought when I first wrote Monday night about Kelly Tilghman's comments of last Friday on the Golf Channel, so perhaps it's time for me to stop assuming things.
You know what Felix Unger said about assuming, I assume.

Of course the fans in the ads are actors. If they were real Knicks fans you would hear things like "Fire Isiah".
They should have just used Matthew Modine or Edward Burns in the ads. They're both season ticket holders, and both can plausibly deny being actors.
