Oklahoma City Sonics

"But we didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle; we hoped to come here," Aubrey McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake Energy, told The Journal Record for a story in Monday's edition.

I'm a Blazers fan, and I hate the Sonics ownership. Only a true bunch of morons could come into a city, and hold one of their professional sports teams hostage so they can get a $300 million gift from taxpayers. I hope you're happy with your team and the a**hole owners that come with it, OKC. Oklahoma City is a great basketball city and they deserve a team. An expansion team. It's just such a shame that it looks like Kevin Durant can't get his career going in one of the greatest cities in the world.

Of course, both the Seahawks and Mariners got their way with new stadiums, so why not the Sonics? I'll tell you why. Because the city of Seattle should support any ownership group except for these pricks. Make David Stern man up and admit it was a mistake to sell a team to an Oklahoma City owner. I'm personally looking forward to the league losing millions because of this move, followed by the glorious arrival of the Seattle Hornets!! Hooray...

It may very well be that the future pride of professional Northwest basketball is a goofy man-child who likes ice cream.

Edit: I'm surprised I forgot to mention that the Premiership season got off to an excellent start for my Reds, with Liverpool beating Aston Villa 2-1 (and a well-deserved SportsCenter top play appearance for Steven Gerrard). Also, Manchester United played to a 0-0 draw with Reading that featured Wayne Rooney breaking his foot. More proof that Jesus hates the Yankees and Man U.
