Weasel of The Week: James Dolan

Some of you know that Knicks/Rangers/MSG/Radio City Music Hall owner James Dolan is also a weekend rocker in his spare time.

Dolan actually brought his band, JD & The Straight Shot, to an Albany club a number of years back. No, ye scribe didn't go. I had more class.

The classless, paranoid, insecure Dolan was playing a Long Island concert hall the other night, where tickets were as much as $38, when he met a reporter for Newsday, who'd been assigned by her editor to do a feature piece on Dolan's other life. Unfortunately, the reporter wasn't able to file the piece, as Dolan had her removed from the building.

When you're rich & spoiled all at the same time, you do things that would get most folks hauled into court for whatever. Dolan gets publicity for doing stupid things like this, like having a former Knicks star, Charles Oakley, banned from MSG, and so on. Wouldn't surprise me at all if this Weasel has broken bread with President Trump, well before the Ugly American President took office. We also know that WWE doesn't play MSG as often as it used to since Dolan took over the "Mecca of Sports Entertainment".

Turns out Dolan has out-Weaseled Vince McMahon AND Trump with this latest stunt. And that's saying something. The tickets for the concert seemed overpriced for a cover band. but that's Dolan for you, greedy, and fattening his wallet thanks to the concert-goers foolish enough to pay his prices. Don't think the venue set the prices. I'd bet Dolan did.

And you wonder why people want Dolan to sell the Knicks.......
