“Big Fat Eddy” is back in the building! The “New York Times” has reported that New York Knicks center Eddy Curry is now attempting his second come back with “MY BOYS” since the beginning of Training Camp. Curry tore a calf muscle his first day of practice and was sent hoe with orders to shed off much more than the 40 pounds he had dropped over the summer. Reports are that Curry maxed out this summer at about 360 pounds and was supposed to have weighed 320 at the beginning of camp. Reporters are now saying that Curry is at about 295 pounds.

Curry told reporters he is feeling great but was evasive about the weight issue. The veteran said “I really didn’t keep track of it. I just know I look different, everybody tells me I look different. I feel great, so I think that’s all that matters.I just wanted to make sure that when I came back this time I did everything possible not to have any more injuries or pull anything else. It’s tough to adjust to the speed of the game, so I tried to do as much as I could to blend in when I got back.”

Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said that if “Big Fat Eddy” is able to play he will help the team but he will not be a savior. D’Antoni told reporters “It’d be great to have him back and great to have him play, but he’s not going to be the cure of all our problems. We need to figure out other things. We should be winning anyways. Now, add him to us and it’ll be great, but I don’t want to think we’ve got Eddy back, everything’s fine. We don’t know that.”

Knicks Team President Donnie Walsh told the “New York Daily News” that “Big Fat Eddy” has accomplished quite a lot. Walsh said “He’s to be congratulated. He did a great job getting into shape. Now he’s got to get in NBA shape. There’s no way to simulate that, other than through practice and actually the games.”

There is an old saying in New York Vinnie’s neighborhood; “Fool Me Once Shame on You. Fool Me Twice Shame On Me. Fool Me Three Times Then I Am A Frickin Moron!”  New York Vinnie is not a moron and it is going to take a lot to convince me that “Big Fat Eddy” can be of any use at all to “MY BOYS” or any other NBA team. New York Vinnie will be watching.
