Interesting read from New York Daily News writer Frank Isola on the curious timing of Jeremy Lin's knee injury announcement. A few of the money paragraphs:
The Knicks were eventually going to get around to revealing the troubling results of Jeremy Lin's MRI but certainly not before last Wednesday.
That was a crucial day inside the club's executive offices at Two Penn Plaza because March 28 represented the deadline for season- ticket holders to purchase all four rounds of the playoffs.
In fact, in the email sent to subscribers, there is a picture of Lin leaping in celebration. Yet, it was two days before the deadline when Lin and the Knicks' medical staff learned that the second-year point guard/cash cow was suffering from a torn meniscus in his left knee and that he wouldn't be jumping for joy anytime soon.
This probably doesn't surprise a whole lot of people, and there is more context added in the later paragraphs. But still, it is an example of what rules the bottom line.
Can't Stop The Bleeding, by the way, tweeted out a post-surgery photo of Lin.
