Linsane in the Membrane

Have any of yins heard of Jeremy Yin?

No?

Maybe a picture will help,


Still no? How?

He's everywhere. Since becoming the starting point guard of the New York Knicks, the Chinese-American player has racked up 136 points in five games. That's a record. A big record. So naturally people are buzzed. Its a recipe of his nationality, skill, location, and franchise. He's good and the story is great (at one point last week, he didn't have a soild contract and was sleepong on a teammate's couch), but give me a break with the Lin coverage. ESPN's Sportcenter runs for an hour and (no joke) thrity-three minutes of the show was about Lin. That's linlogical. Plus, there's a ton of words being altered to have a 'lin' in them. Like linsanity, Linvinicible, Lindrella, Super Lintendo, & (my favorite) Mr. Lincredible.

I get that its a big story & something like this doesn't happen often, but lets have put a cap on his coverage. I mean, the Red Wings won twenty-one straight home games (also a record) & Hines Ward might not be a Steeler anymore. Can we shorten Lin's airtime down to . . . um . . . like fifteen, twenty minutes? Please?
