09.04.08 HEY OKLAHOMA, YOU SUCK
Yesterday, the cockholster who moved the Seattle Sonics to the dust bowl unveiled the team’s new name, which was leaked six weeks ago, and the team’s new logo, which was leaked over the weekend. So it surprised precisely no one when they both sucked.
You know, when I root against the Steelers or the Yankees or whoever, I merely want the team to lose. In a way, I need the existence of such teams because I need a villain, a foil. Not so with Clay Bennett and Oklahoma City. I want the franchise to fail, and fail spectacularly. I want NBA stars to shun it. I want it to hemorrhage money. And if by some cruel twist of fate I write this blog long enough to see Bennett die, I’m going to write a joyous obituary celebrating the loss of one more carpetbagging rule-dodging asshole.
Yeah, I can hold a grudge.

I don’t think they ever took my suggestion of ‘Ammonium Nitrate All Stars’ seriously.
Team nicknames that aren’t plural are gay. There, I said it.
That logo reminds me of Stuart Scott’s left eye
There used to be a league called the WNBA that had a Thunder, maybe, how the hell should I know?
I stick by my statement that they should have gone with the Oklahoma City Bombers.
One of the name candidates was Wind. But even the NBA realized the plethora of blowjob jokes there.
I bet you could merge the Charlotte Bobcats and the Thunder and nobody would notice before January.
I hold a grudge, too. Fuck you, Meagan’s Law.
Maybe if the city of Seattle would spend the dough to upgrade what was the worst arena in the NBA, we wouldn’t have this discussion…or at least Clay Bennett wouldnt have a good excuse to leave Seattle. Why does no one blame Howard Schultz, who sold the team to Bennett? You really think that a group of Oklahoma City based businessmen wanted to buy a basketball team in Seattle and keep it there?
@Bob Loblaw: Then they could have been the Thundercats and everyone would be satisfied. Except people in Seattle.
now if this could just happen to the knicks… it would have been an improvement.
You’ve been….. THUNDERSTRUCK.
