you’re all a bunch of dummies. seattle is cool, okc is cool. it’s all relavent to who and where you are.
‘08 SOONERS, undefeated, national champions
that’s really what matters.

If Stern were a good man and a good friend to Bennett, he would have recommended an expansion franchise within 2 years. That way the OKC team would not have been run through this nasty lawsuit. I think everyone expected Seattle to roll over and give up the team because there are a large amount of voters that are tired of paying for half billion dollar arenas. Good looking out Stern.

apparently okc’s newspaper also believes in censorship. i make one reference to the tulsa riots and you delete my post. this is like the reincarnation of the nazi party running your “free press”. very noble.
on the basketball side. whoever this writer is is a real bad representation for sports journalism in okc.
“But the logic? Come on. Let’s see, Shaq thinks Seattle’s a better city for the Sonics because it has the Space Needle and water? Grant Hill, who remember played his first six seasons in Detroit, is griping about OKC being cold???”
he should be embarrassed to use the word ‘logic’ followed by his display of simeon logic.
there’s no argument that okc is a better venue for an nba franchise. none. the sonics have always had support in seattle, even in their lowly seasons, and now people are shying away because a redneck crook owns them and has blatantly lied to the entire city, league, and country about his intentions. and shultz, a man who has become a billionaire thanks to seattle, completely sold out our city. seattlites will not be blackmailed by hick tactics into paying for a new arena with public funds. unlike okc, we have priorities such as education, transportation, and the environment. however, there are wealthy investors who have been and are ready to buy the franchise and pay for renovations. they make your boy bennett look like mickey mouse—-he is the bubby sparxxx to our jay-z, so to speak.
enjoy the dream, that’s all you have.

The NBA doesn’t have a clue. They are about to fall out of the ‘big three’ sports (the NHL will take their place.) C’mon Howard, the only reason Clay wants to move from the economically wealthy 12th largest market in the US to the comparatively destitute 45th largest market is because he is a homer and wants to be a hometown hero to feed his fat ego. The other 3 major sports wouldn’t ever allow such a move. But since David and Clay are buddies, he will allow the move anyways. Since revenue sharing is an issue, the owners will support the immediate return of a franchise to Seattle, a good chance it may be OKC’s beloved Hornets. And Durant, Green and any other good players the OKC team may obtain will bolt for greener pastures as soon as their contracts come up… The fans will lose interest, especially at the tune of $10K+ per seat for season tickets… Clay, Aubrey, Stern & Co. will feel the financial pinch and threaten that they need a better building to produce the revenue to support the team, the taxpayers won’t be able to swallow the 1/2 billion or so it’ll take to appease the owners and the NBA, and *poof* your dream of being a ‘major league city’ is down the crapper. I give it inside of 10 years to happen

(And *poof,* it all makes sense now. -DM-)

Good Point DM, Shaq is chomping at the bit to get back to OKC to hit up that IHOP again.

Shaq and Grant Hill have no allegiance to Seattle, they are just keeping it real.

You hicks are delusional.

Admit that your city is a nice little midwestern town for a college and a series frat party induced hate crimes.

“Dumb” is taking Clay Bennett’s word at face value. If you still believe Bennett’s group made a good faith effort to keep the Sonics in Seattle, but then the lame city govt just couldn’t be bothered, then you, my friend, are a moron. Aubrey McHomophobe said the exact opposite TO THE MEDIA. It doesn’t get much clearer than that. So you can stop blaming the city government.

Then explain to me how your one cent tax to revamp the mighty Ford Center is the equivalent to the 1/2 billion dollars demanded from the city of Seattle. Yeah, it was Seattle’s fault. Keep telling yourself that. I guess that’s how you justify stealing sports teams from people.

Darryl Mayberry is a homer, pure and simple. No objectivity.

(He might be. Darnell Mayberry, however, tries his best to remain objective. -DM-)

as i posted elsewhere, mike u, i’m going to do you a favor. it’s obvious you can’t make a point without insulting oklahoma, but your references are laim. here’s a few funnier, more topical things to make fun of (if you won’t try harder, i will):

crystal meth problem (not as bad as it used to be, but not good)
OU sooners choking constantly in every sport
terrible road conditions
quality beer available only in liquor stores
sally kern

now look, i love oklahoma, but every state has problems. and if i have to read comments by small-minded people, i at least want to read something new and original now and then. please try harder seattle, thank you.

yeah mike u, you’re a real class-act and credit to your city. why don’t city leaders make you, some dude on the internet, the spokesperson for the seattle tourism board? because you’re talking out of your butt.

don’t you see that taking shots at okc doesn’t exactly make seattle “look MARVELOUS to the rest of the U.S.!” in your own right? show some of this ’seattle class and culture’ i’ve heard SO much about.

we’re sticking up for our city, not randomly bad-mouthing someone else’s. i’m glad you’re so much better than us, just keep your superiority where it is. i’m fine with oklahoma, but you seem defensive about seattle. it must be a lovely place…

oh, and people still idolize shaq? i didn’t know it was still 2001.
