Comments on: Bad timing for Thunder firing of P.J. http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/11/22/bad-timing-for-thunder-firing-of-pj/ Thoughts from The Oklahoman Sports Columnist Berry Tramel | NewsOK.com Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: The Voice of the Fan http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/11/22/bad-timing-for-thunder-firing-of-pj/comment-page-1/#comment-5313 The Voice of the Fan Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:51:32 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/11/22/bad-timing-for-thunder-firing-of-pj/#comment-5313 Nothing that the Thunder do, or its ownership will be taken seriously. The team wasn’t taken seriously its last 2 years in Seattle. Bennett fired all the PR and media people when he left town and the biggest complaint people had about the Supes players was that they never did any charity work or appearances any more (this was a direct order of Bennett which he was publicly chastised on Sports Radion 950 AM for) and that the team no longer donated items to local kids organizations or charity fundraisers.

NBA ownership to Bennett is purely a rich man’s hobby and he wants OKC to kiss his butt for all the work he put into this project of his. I say go for it….kiss his fat A** goodbye as soon as you can!!!

With all the money you all have dished out it would have been better spent getting everyone in OKC a season pass to the Cowboy Museum…now there’s time well spent. We don’t have a world class museum like that and now we don’t have an underachieving, misled group of overpaid wussies either.
Hang in there, we had the sonics for 40 years and had 1 championship, 39 more to go huh? I’m sure Bennet & co will sell at a loss just like their stock options in due order. In the mean time enjoy ownerships heavy handed approach to sports managment, should be a couple of wonderful years.
Peace

Probably his last. Clay’s wife is more than likely reviewing his contract as we speak. About time you grew a pair. You still need to change your picture, you look like your drunk… That is if you are still employed by this rag tomorrow.

Tramel, you are a fool and part of what gives us here in OKC our sterotype.

Terrible journalism.

Be positive or say nothing. We do not need your negative words.

Be a part of Oklahoma City or get out of the way. It is a very simple understanding.

Please set your personal agenda elsewhere.

Our team is named Thunder NOT Boomer and I for one am tired of his reference to the team as such. If he continues to disrespect our team,put his arse on waivers

What a gutless article. I think he’s not the greatest coach in the world, but to suggest that you should trumpet the firing from the steps of city hall?

I hope oklahomans are not as mean spirited and gutless as you.
