NEW YORK -- This farce has gone far enough.

This charade Larry Brown is perpetuating isn't remotely authentic, vaguely amusing, distantly honorable, or faintly Academy Award winning.

In fact, this latest make-believe game he's running on everybody insults the intelligence of anyone who knows diddly squat about Brown's countless back door cuts throughout the ABA, NBA and the NCAA (11 teams in all, if you count Davidson, which he bolted after about a week once he realized his office wasn't going to get any bigger) over 33 years.
