After losing his job as a lawyer at a commercial litigation firm, Doyle decided to reach in his savings and attend all 82 Knicks games.

Terrible timing for Doyle, who chose to take $25,000 out of his savings to go to each and every game in the worst season the Knicks have recorded.
“I never thought it’d be this bad,” Doyle told the New York Post. “Nobody did. But it reached a point where I know the losing is only going to be helpful in the long term. I actually find myself less upset.”
On the bright side, he’s getting to go to some fun places, with New York traveling to London to take on the Bucks on Thursday.
He’s super enthusiastic about his endeavor.
“I brought this on myself,” Doyle said. “Nobody’s fault but mine. Part of this experience is also seeing what they go through with travel and develop some empathy. It’s tiring.’’
Probably not the historic season he hoped for.
