Craig Carton Says Jack Capuano Is Living In Garth Snows Basement, No Seriously, This Isn't A Metaphor

So this is a rumor that’s been flying around IslesTwitter for a good 3 years now; that Isles Head Coach Jack Capuano lives in GM Garth Snow’s basement. Like actual basement. Like, we just got it refurbished to rent out to your brother in law who’s hit a rough patch ever since that DUI, basement.

It originally started as a small twitter rumor but was never backed by a reputable source and just kind of faded away over time. Then in comes Craigy C dropping what he thinks is a heater this morning on WFAN’s Boomer & Carton and BOOM here we are asking if maybe, just maybe, there is some truth behind it.

I personally don’t believe it though all fabric of my being wants to, because that would fit Capuano’s M.O. far too perfectly – Hard ass New England accent that doesnt allow him to prahpahly prahnahnce his arhh’s, absolulety insane choice of a haircut, and an all around aura that he just came off a month long diet consisting of only Pall Mall reds and Jack Daniels Oakheart® Spiced Rum. Now mix in the fact that he’s living in someone’s refurbished basement on Long Island and it completes the persona that is Jack Capuano.

The best part of it all is – with the Islanders finding themselves to be a complete tire fire at the moment, and Capuano’s leash growing smaller and smaller with each passing moment, firing the guy that’s paying you rent is the ultimate catch 22 for Snow. Time’s are tough right now, and rent on Long Island is through the freaking roof, the question isn’t if Garth thinks Cap’s poor performance this year is worthy of losing his job, but if he can lose the extra income. That’s a decision I wish on no man.

Whether or not this story has some truth to it, the fact that it’s 100% believable is all you need to know about this organization and how it operates. God I hate that I love this team.
