Your 2011-2012 Seattle Cavaliers

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:33:40 +1900

Let's talk about the end of an era...sigh...a horrific chain of events that would lead the Cavaliers to possibly move from Cleveland to Seattle some day. Because if LeBron James leaves town in two years, it could become a harsh reality.

SOUNDERS FC Update: Sonics silent in Seattle…now their ‘voice’ will call soccer

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:12:02 +1900

July 21 --- MVN Soccer: SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC certainly already has some ‘mainstream’ names involved in their day-to-day affairs; owners of the MLS 2009 expansion franchise include a movie mogul (Joe Roth, the majority owner), a Microsoft mogul (its co-founder Paul Allen), and a well-known TV personality now seen daily (comedian and ‘Price Is Right’ host Drew Carey)...

First the Franchise; Now the Mascot, Too?

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:22:00 +1900

Clay Bennett and his business partners, in one fell swoop, snatched up a franchise that had been a Seattle mainstay for four decades. They’re taking the team with them back to Oklahoma City; and along with the players, coaches, jerseys, and basketballs, there’s also this always hard-to-define “legacy” thing they threw in the deal. Well, it ...

NBA in OKC: Finding the right mascot

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:00:22 +1900

Don't know for certain what our NBA team's nickname will be, but I had a suggestion for our mascot. As if Seattle wasn't mad enough, I say we box up "Squatchâ and ship him and his costume to Oklahoma City with the rest of the team gear. Squatch is short for Sasquatch, and he's one of the league's premier mascots. He's Gorilla good, Coyote good, Super Hugo good. And he's all ours. But do we ...

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:49:46 +1900

(Sports Network) - There are many days left, and more activity to come, in the NBA offseason. At this stage, however, it is fair to say that the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors have made their move up the chart in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia, which is still trying to sign restricted free agents Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams, signed power forward Elton Brand to a lucrative, ...

Sonics' Kevin Calabro would rather call soccer than move to Oklahoma

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:37:55 +1900

The venerable and outstanding NBA announcer Kevin Calabro turns down an option to stay with the Thunder to remain in Seattle to call MLS. That's right, he would rather announce soccer than move to crapsville. In so doing, Calabro beats future NBA free agents to the punch by becoming the first talent to shun OKC.

Red Sox Glory Leeches descend on Seattle

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:06:00 +1900

Beginning today, the Mariners will host the Red Sox for a three-game set at Safeco Field. Up until their 2004 World Series Championship, I readily enjoyed Boston coming to Seattle and watching the home town nine dismantle the Sox. That version of Red Sox Nation was tolerable and even a little endearing. Its anguish and self-loathing was somewhat justified. Even though they had won five ...

Unless, of course, the team fully intended that address to take those interested to these two ladies selling handmade cards. Wonder if they're Sonics fans? [ Oklahomacitythunder.com ]

Yes, I do think Toby will be a fan, but I don't think he is ready for sponsorship just yet. But what's in a name? Well, if you ask most OKC fans, everything. We want it to be cool, to instill fear, and to look cool on a jersey. Unfortunately, whatever it is will most likely twisted around by rivals and bitter Seattle fans to sound less than intimidating. And with many good names already ...

Different Type of Statistic

Normally, we only run basketball statistics here, but I thought you might be curious to see another comparison today. The chart shown above has a start date of July 2007 and details the stock performance of two companies. The blue line is Starbucks, Howard Schultz' empire, which has seen its value plummet from $28.60 a share to a low of $13.33. The red line? The red line belongs to ...

It's not much of a surprise to Oklahomans that some derivative of Thunder was going to be the newly relocated Seattle SuperSonics team name, be it Thunderbirds, Thundercats, Thunderpants, or the Fighting Dan Majerles. But it looks like they're just going to go with Thunder . The Oklahoma City Thunder. There's your newest NBA team, perhaps. After all, the NBA's registrar company snatched up ...
