While some folks think Oklahoma City's ill-gotten basketball team is going to be renamed the Thundercats, I doubt it will be something so cool. Keep in mind that Oklahomans are retarded.
A possible example of such retardery: the URL okcmarshalls.com redirects to NBA.com, while similar domains with other proposed team names (Bandits, Thunder, Thundercats) do not. So the Seattle Sonics may very well now be the Oklahoma City Marshalls. Yes, Marshalls. With two L's.
Now, I've never had the responsibility of naming a major professional sports franchise, but I'd like to think that if I did, I would run my proposed name THROUGH A GODDAM SPELL CHECK to make sure I had named the team after Wild West sheriffs and not a department store. But that's just me. I've got a weird habit of trying not to look like a complete dipshit.

Thurgood's three point shot was legendary.
2 for 1 on hosieries!
Er, "goddamn", no?
They're only called the Marshalls because Target couldn't make a deal.

i've got a wierd habit of snorting xanax. but thats just me.
Er, "goddamn", no?
No. Seems absolutely frivolous and pointless to discuss in detail, but sometimes I like to write like I talk.
U.S. Marshals in Oklahoma City seems like it might conjure up some bad memories of the Federal Building getting blown up.
Perhaps on opening night they can desecrate the corpse of Timothy McVeigh.
there's a wesley snipes joke in here somewhere
Wait wait wait…. everyone is skipping over the rumor that they may be called the THUNDERCATS!
Don't know about you guys, but I always pictures Panthro to be a Power Forward… kind of like Anthony Mason.
….
ACTUALLY… Anthony Mason kind of looks like Panthro now that I think of it.
Can't wait for their bitter rivalry with the Stark County T.J. Maxx's
Something tells me:
Lucas Lawver
308 NE 4th St. Apt #303
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73104
United Statesaint't the sharpest tool in the shed. [www.networksolutions.com];
Ehh… actually, marshall is the Americanized spelling of "marshal." WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA YOU LIMEY SUMBITCH
The uniforms consist of Haggar Slacks and Tommy Bahama shirts — half off!!
So now that I live in the newest big league city. I thought I'd weigh in. All those names sucks.
I want the OKC Bombers. So what if 163 people died, it was 13 years ago, move the fuck on.
Marshalls is stupid, and where the fuck did you find that picture? There are no marshalls grocery stores in God's armpit or if you prefer the belt buckle of the bible belt
If they are going the team after a discount department store, at least call them the OKC Gaylords…….
Why not the Oklahoma City Trail of Tears Destination That Became the Former Indian Territory That Was Later Stolen Under the General Allotment Act?
Seems to fit.
I'm hoping if kansas city ever gets another team they will be called the Faggots.
I still believe they should be called the OKC Flaming Lips, seeing as it's the best thing to ever come outta Oklahoma other than Barry Sanders.
Good thing Barry's from Kansas, or he may feel slighted.
There's one guy who doesn't want them to be named the Marshals more than anyone…Dr. Richard Kimble.
Go Okllahoma Citty!
@mcwennington – Actually Mason and Panthro do look kind of alike, except Mason is a lot blacker.
And why not the OKC Steinmarts?
I still think they should have gone with "Oklahoma City Surreys with the Fringe on Top"
stephen jackson likes the name, but only if the unis have holsters.
Next on the list: the New York Macys and the Chicago Walgreens.
the OKC Cowfuckers?
Whatever. Its still better than the Mobile Piggly Wigglies.
@ Alex
And where did he play his college football? I believe he was a Cowpoke. I thank yu!
I'm hoping if kansas city ever gets another team they will be called the Faggots.
Actually, that was a fantasy football name I used a couple years back, complete with an image of Slim Pickens.
okcmarshalls.com is a red herring. Try okcdumbfuckhicks.com, that's the current favorite.
When Art Modell took my football team, he named it after a poem.
@Tim: So you're suggesting The Oklahoma City Road Not Takens?
Come on down the Ryder Center to watch the OKC Marshall's drop a turd on the hard wood. Close in parking for the first 100 vehicles fully laden with ammonium nitrate.
David Stern is a genius in
marketingclusterfuckery.@ hbick
First off Marshalls is not a grocery store, secondly there is one in OKC, its on I-240… Enjoy being a douche-nozzle for the rest of your miserable life…
@whydoyouask – dont forget you have to cater to your audience. so it would be more like "The Oklahoma City Men from Nantucket"
I can't wait for Houston to play at the Ford Center and for OKC to (hopefully) shut down Tracy McGrady.
Post game press conference:
Reporter: T-MAC, how do you explain tonight's events?
McGrady: Well man, I just bombed out there. Oklahoma just executed very well against me tonight.
Burn.
@Bearer of Bad News
Well anything on I-240 is pretty much shit. The area reaks of dirty minorities and dub t. Or maybe you haven't smelled OKC CC. I sure as hell smell it in Norman and that is 20 miles away.
And for you to refer to me as a douche-nozzle, I assume you are referring to the OKC Bomber comment. It's OK, I can't help the fact you have no sense of humor. Why don't you go rub your clit with a bible and get back to me after you have calmed down.
Oh and dirty minorities refers to the gang bangers and illegals and pollute the surrounding area of I240
no, I just think you are a fucking retard… hence the avatar…
Norman isn't a bastion of white morality either… plenty of white trash there but I'll ask if you've ever seen a "Clean Minority"?? WOW!
If the OKC "Not Sonics" are going to name themselves after a clothing store, I think they should do so after the one local residents are most familiar with: Goodwill.
not all of us in oklahoma are hicks and shop at goodwill…now if you will excuse i have to rev my engine for 45 minutes….while listening to toby keith…with a mouthful of copenhagen long cut…..and a can of cuurs light.
fuck the sonics, or marshalls, or aviators or ass-suckers or whatver….why does my tax dollars go to build an arena for a millionaire like clay bennett? i can think of a hundred things okc needs to spend money, like, EDUCATION and roads….has anyone driven on the "roads" in okc? they're a disgrace……
check the link again…it goes to the department store site
I've got a weird habit of trying not to look like a complete dipshit
TOO LATE!!!
