P. Diddy is on point. The New York Knicks do need some new blood up in there.

In fact, many sports franchises need some new blood up in there. And who has better blood than entertainers, those proud bearers of riches, fame and eccentricity? If only stars would follow Diddy's imaginative thinking and ponder careers in pro sports ownership.

"I think I could do a good job," said rapper Sean Combs, a k a P. Diddy, formerly Puff Daddy and Puffy, while chatting with Howard Stern last week about the Knicks. "I think [they need] some new blood up in there."

So Knicks owner James Dolan should put Diddy up in there. If nothing else, it would be fun. A rapper running an NBA team? Can't wait for the news conferences. The self-righteous would cringe.

"I'm publicly puttin' it out there, because they're not taking my calls," Diddy told Stern of Dolan's refusal to listen.

In honor of Diddy, we're publicly puttin' this out there: It's time for sweeping and dramatic change across the sports ownership landscape. It's time for more entertainers to get up in there.
