The New York Post has been calling the New York Knicks "Team Titanic." The
Knicks have the second-worst record in all of professional basketball. They're
ahead only of the injury-ravaged, small market Charlotte Bobcats.

I'm thinking of possibly adding this to my web page.

Is "Team Titanic" widely known? Have you heard this as the nickname for
other sports teams? You can e-mail me privately, if you wish.
