New thread: Xteve, avoid the Bronco gear for a while
 
Lookout Broncos fans. When the Thunder from down under had their show and tell the first thing I thought of when they showed the blue, orange, and whatever, that Xteve will have to be careful if he has any Broncos gear. It would be strangely ironic if hoodlems gave him a savage beating for mistakenly thinking he was supporting the Thunder. Then I remembered that nobody in this town would ...

Henry Abbott for Mayor!!
 
Ahh, well we needed a new thread anyways! Henry’s Goodbye Sonics Post “At some point, after the funeral, you stop putting so much energy into being mad that someone died, and start going about the business of making life as good as it can be without them. This is, I guess, that day.” Yes indeed. I need to hear this advice as much as anyone. Henry goes on to say ...

Schultz Drops Lawsuit
 
From the Times The key phrase is that the NBA very likely told Howard that if he continued the suit Seattle would never get another team again. Even after all this I don’t believe it’s the end of the road for pro hoops in Seattle. The chances of the Grizzlies or another franchise relocating here are likely very good since there are so many failing markets in the NBA. Will they ...

God Bless New Orleans
 
It is grossly inappropriate for anybody to be thinking hopefully about another hurricane in New Orleans and/or the basketball implications of any damage to that city. If that were to come to pass we would deal with it then, hopefully in a classy and thoughtful manner. In the meantime I think we need to all say a few prayers for the residents of New Orleans and be hopefull that there is not a ...

Per the agreement basically the Seattle team when it is established gets exlusive use to colors, logos, uniforms, etc. Seattle gets orginal banners, trophys, etc. Both teams shall be able to reference historical players, statistics, ...
Conspicuous By Its Absence In This Article
 
$567 million to revamp Seattle Center; no new arena? The Steve Miller song “Take The Money And Run” is stuck in my head.

What Would you have done?
 
So over the last several weeks I’ve taken a few hits. Some deservedly and others that I don’t think are so accurate. My question today is what should we have done? What were the other options that provided a solution? I understand “trust the mayor less” but here’s the thing, we never trusted him. We felt that be constantly re-itterating his claim that he ...

Do we give a crap?
 
I truly don’t know what my level of interest is in the NBA anymore. With the departures to Europe and team names like Thunder and Wind under consideration I wonder if they are closer to the Arena Football League than they are the NFL Whenever I get on the internet for a few minutes I think that I have a bunch to do, but little interest. I’ve been focusing hardcore on some issues ...
