One of the main duties of New York's Stuyvesant High School's senior class president is to line up the commencement speaker. So, with the help of students and faculty, he put together this video begging Jeremy Lin to be that speaker. (Warning: there's rapping. Of course there's rapping.)...
Chow Fun: Jeremy Lin Has A Pleasant Lunch With "Chink In The Armor" Headline Writer
Anthony Federico, the former ESPNer who wrote the "Chink In The Armor" headline for which he has been apologizing to anyone who'll stand still long enough, tells Newsday: "We talked more about matters of faith [and] reconciliation. We talked about our shared Christian values and what we're both tryi...
Courtside Sixers Fan (Possibly) Yells Racist Slur At Jeremy Lin
As the Knicks were closing out their 82-79 win over the Sixers in Philadelphia tonight, Jeremy Lin headed over in the direction of the scorer's table and a courtside Sixers fan yelled ... something in his direction.
