Question of the Day:
Have you heard about Linsanity?  New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin has taken the NBA by storm the last two weeks, going from the end of the bench to center stage.  The Knicks have won seven straight games since Lin was inserted in the starting lineup including a 15-point win last night over Sacramento.  Along with Lin's success have come quite a few nicknames, like Lin-sanity, just Lin-incredible, super Lin-tendo, and the like.  So we are asking you this morning, is Lin's rise making you more interested in the NBA this season?  What's your favorite Jeremy Lin nickname?
