But by that fateful summer, Red had had enough. The owner of the Celtics, John Y. Brown, had traded three first-round draft picks to the Knicks for Bob McAdoo, and had done so not on the advice of Auerbach but of Brown’s wife, Phyllis George.
Auerbach hadn’t even been consulted, and that was too much for him to bear.
So when Madison Square Garden chief Sonny Werblin called, Auerbach was prepared to listen.
And what Werblin offered was this: the entire Knicks empire.
Everything. The team had already fallen on hard times, the Garden had stopped being the magical place it had been earlier in the decade. Werblin, always the showman, wanted to hire the best in the business.
“The best,” Werblin would later clarify, “that ever was.” It didn’t take much to persuade Auerbach. He was gone. In fact, he was on his way through the Callahan Tunnel, en route to Logan Airport, where he was set to take the shuttle to New York and sign the contract, and he was talking about it out loud in the back seat of a taxi with his attorney, Bob Richards. The driver couldn’t help but overhear. And he offered a simple bit of advice that may well have forever altered the fortunes of two of the league’s charter franchises.
“He said, ‘Why do you want to leave here? This is a wonderful organization. This is where you belong,’ and it got me thinking,” Auerbach recalled for the Boston Herald in 1994, on the 15th anniversary of that seminal afternoon.
“I turned to Bob and said we had to talk about it some more. I called my wife and she said to forget it. Sonny said he’d still hold the job open for me for three more years, and he did.” But by then, Brown had sold the team, Auerbach had reemerged as its guiding force, he’d assembled the pieces that had already won banner No. 14 and was busily crafting the part that would soon add Nos. 15 and 16 within a few more years. There would be no homecoming. There would be no victory cigars in Madison Square Garden.

Big exciting day for me. At 11 am I am getting my snow tires off my car.
I get better gas mileage with my regular tires. I am not driving much of late but may go for a real drive today. My car is bored.
edit....I made the appointment to change the tires on line. They sent ma an e-mail saying they couldn't do it today...bummer

I needed some more seed cakes for the woodpeckers and other birds so I drove over to an Agway store that I like in Milford NH.It’s something to look forward to another day!
. The folks there are nice and they have a kitty named Mama kitty that they found there years ago on their property. She had just had kittens and had no home. She lives in the store and is very sweet. It was not crowded and everyone in the store had on a mask.
That leaves the exciting trip to Tire warehouse for next Sunday.

Gardens are all planted. No vegetables this year. Instead I bought 4 kinds of flower seeds and made one of the beds a flower garden. Hopefully it comes out nice, the bees will be happy.

Had a new set put on my summer rims (I have a set of rims for each set of tires) and finally switched there today. Forgot how quiet it is without the studs! Love my nokians but they are loud!
My snow tires do not have studs but they still are louder tan the regular tires. I have only one set of rims

Oh No Eddie Haskell has left us.
Ken Osmond, a child actor known for his role as Eddie Haskell on "Leave It to Beaver," has died at the age of 76.
Osmond died Monday at his home in Los Angeles. No cause of death was given.
In a statement, Osmond's son Eric remembered him as "an incredibly kind and wonderful father."
"He had his family gathered around him when he passed," Eric Osmond said. "He was loved and will be very missed."
As an actor, Osmond was best known for playing the rebellious character of Eddie Haskell on the 1950s sitcom "Leave It to Beaver." The teenage character was a friend of Beaver's (Jerry Mathers) older brother Wally (Tony Dow), notorious for the way he'd pretend to be the perfect child in the presence of adults while acting out when they weren't around.
Osmond appeared on 97 episodes of the show across its six seasons and later reprised his role as a series regular on the Disney Channel revival, "The New Leave It to Beaver" in 1984. He also had guest roles on shows including "Lassie," "Petticoat Junction" and "The Munsters."
In 1970, Osmond joined the Los Angeles Police Department, serving as an officer until he was struck by five bullets during a chase with a suspected car thief and placed on disability before his retirement in 1988.

I saw season one and it gave me the creeps. You think "this could never happen here"... but sometimes I wonder.
