It was only three months ago that Knicks star Jeremy Lin was avoiding paparazzi and eager female fans at downtown club Avenue—Linsanity was fully underway when reports came out of him shunning champagne for Bud Light, leaving the club by the relatively modest hour of 2 a.m. The NY Post is sad to break the news, but that Lin is gone now—and all that is left is a party-hardy husk of swishing, dishing, and tipsy flirting.
According to the Post's eagle eyes, Lin and teammates Josh Harrellson, Landry Fields and Jerome Jordan had a "wild night out" at SL and 1OAK on Thursday, a day after the Knicks were eliminated from the playoffs by the Miami Heat. “They were really drowning their sorrows,” an onlooker told them. “Jeremy was drinking and was acting tipsy...like a college frat kid.” As if that weren't devastating enough, the Post says Lin was seen "talking to a group dressed in tight-fitting dresses." DEAR GOD, HE WAS TALKING!?!
The Star-Ledger nails this one: "Has anyone been to the Meatpacking District after 10 p.m.? Nearly everyone has on tight clothes. But, when you read the description in the Post, it seems like he was up to something particularly seedy." But he partied past 4 a.m.! He club hopped! He talked to a Victoria's Secret model! Does he even want a faithful Christian girlfriend who likes helping the underprivileged and is low maintenance anymore? We can't wait till we get the disappointed David Brooks column about this.
