Rangers Brought Further Into Sex Scandal At MSG
Thomas' Accuser Says Hockey Execs Had 'Little Black Book'

NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Do the Broadway Blue Shirts have a dirty black book?
Top New York Rangers executives are accused of keeping a list, detailing what cheerleaders they might be able to have sex with.
The claim surfaced during the sexual harassment lawsuit against Knicks President Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden.
Thomas deliberately went around in the revolving door of the federal courthouse Wednesday, pretending he's not going to face the cameras and questions; trying to lighten up what would otherwise be a grim few minutes. It all illustrates the Thomas' style: "Hey: I'm still cool," even in the face of a multi-million dollar sexual harassment suit.
And after what Thomas Zambito of the Daily News revealed Friday had just taken place upstairs, before Thomas walked out, Madison Square Garden and Thomas were going to need all the "I'm still cool" public relations they could muster.
Because the lawyer for former Knicks executive Anucha Browne-Sanders told judge Gerard Lynch and a lawyer for the Garden, "Ms. Browne-Sanders received information from her staff ... there had been some book being maintained by some Rangers executives that reflected sexual positions and things like that that they were interested in keeping track of, versus what they wanted from what skater."
Now, this Rangers reference is about another lawsuit another woman, Courtney Prince -- former captain of the Rangers cheerleaders -- has brought against the Garden.
Prince and her lawyer have said male Garden executives asked about other female employees, "Who's loose?" and "Which is the wild one?" and then allegedly added details of what kind of sex, and in what position they liked it.
Those comments might be what Browne-Sanders' lawyer was referring to and not an actual "book." Unless a "book" materializes, attention next week will focus instead on another woman, when she appears in court: Kathleen Decker.
Decker is the Garden employee who had sex with Knicks guard Stephon Marbury while she was an intern. Sex that Browne-Sanders said Garden officials ignored when she brought it to their attention, and is one reason, she says, why Thomas wanted her fired.
The Garden employee who had sex with Marbury when she was an intern will probably be called as a witness by Madison Square Garden to undermine the claims of the woman suing Thomas.
