CD and Axl mentioned on Espn.com

[eze]

Isiah Thomas
Current Position: Ensuring that the New York Knicks -- like global warming and the national debt -- become an onerous burden for future generations.

Qualifications: Formerly ran the Continental Basketball Association ... right into the ground.

Probable Platform: Look nice in a suit; flash a killer smile; throw money at every problem, real and imagined; excite New York City tabloids by doing something wacky at least once a week.

Possible Drawbacks: League owners not excited when something wacky involves giving millions of undeserved dollars to Jerome James.

Overall Rating: One star. Little known facts: Thomas was in charge of the Mars Polar Lander project and is working with Axl Rose on "Chinese Democracy."

I have a question...... why is a person that worked on a mars polar thinggy helping axl with CD this could be good i guess. If i got why he was doing it

[shaun]

maybe Axl wanted some outer space sound samples, little green men and all that stuff. Dophins are so 1990

Isiah Thomas, the ex Detroit Pistons basketball player in the 80's??

HAHAHHA you guys thought this was real? thank god for gnr-basketball fans... lemme break it down for u.

Isiah runs the new york knicks as the GM... and he has made promises to have the greatest team ever.. and as it stands now.. they spend the most money each year, yet are in last place virtually every year that he has been at the helm..

So.. look at axl... promised a great Cd.. but the thing is its takenLOTS of cash, and TONS of time.. right?

thats where the connection is, which makes it funny to those who know ball.. thus the reason it was on ESPn .com..

HELLO!

Yep, great basketball player, terrible general manager-don't let him near any management position with GNR-it's a funny joke-you might have to be a basketball fan to get it.
