Only In America: Piers Morgan on "Lin-sanity"

Piers Morgan has noticed "New York has a raging case of Lin-sanity." He's referring to Jeremy Lin, the Asian American Harvard grad who is making waves as starting point guard of the New York Knicks. Lin was cut from two teams in December, before the Knicks picked him up "with what could be best described as very, very low expectations."
