CHRIS TOMASSON ON THE NUGGETS

Perhaps George Karl is laughing somewhere.
Well, apparently he already has been.
With indications Karl will return next season as Nuggets coach, the Website www.firegeorgekarl.com, which has gained some national notoriety, has changed its name to www.denverstiffs.com. The name refers to former Nuggets coach Doug Moe long having called nearly everybody a "big stiff,'' including himself.
As for the laughing part, Karl said on his radio show earlier this week he had "giggled'' when the Internet stuff came up in February, apparently referring to that month's launching of www.firegeorgekarl.com.
"I realize that the Nuggets organization has a lot of problems, and they go beyond George Karl,'' said Andrew Feinstein, a Nuggets fan who started the site and still believes Karl should be fired. "I have nothing against him, but making him the only scapegoat lets others off the hook.''
Feinstein said management and players share in the blame for what he believes has been underachieving by the Nuggets.
Whatever the name, it's an interesting, professionally done Website and one worth perusing by Nuggets fans.
And I'm pretty sure about one thing. When Moe hears a site has been named in honor of his "stiff'' references, I'm sure he'll also laugh.
