So Dolan was pissed, for multiple reasons. She thoughtfully included the statement from MSG that Mosendz was in Huntington to “write a story about the Knicks,” but the Knicks “were not playing that evening.” She declined Dolan’s offer to get her money back and then wrote about the incident. The guys claimed it was Dolan’s prerogative as the headliner, which he was not, to have her tossed out. And then more or less flubbed the recent NBA draft and the free-agency period that followed it.ĭolan flipped closed Mosendz’s notebook, stormed off, and had security escort her out of the building. One of Mosendz’s colleagues, Josh Dean, had been working on a long piece for Bloomberg Businessweek about Dolan and his dreadful nearly 20-year tenure as the owner of the Knicks, which, as everyone knows, have the worst record of any NBA team this century. When she happened upon Dolan milling around beforehand, she approached him, notebook in hand, and said she was a Bloomberg reporter. She arrived at the Huntington theater early. Mosendz had paid her $38 for the show Dolan’s band was one of three playing that night. Why does Jim Dolan’s temper regularly get in the way of his business judgment? That’s the question making the rounds on Wall Street these days after Dolan, the billionaire CEO of the Madison Square Garden Company, blew a gasket again on July 12 when he had Polly Mosendz, a reporter for Bloomberg, booted out of a Huntington, Long Island, concert venue where she had gone to watch Dolan’s country-rock-blues band, JD & the Straight Shot.
