Ordered his ex tortured and murdered? Sounds like a keeper.

I think the proper headline is:

“We will absolutely not stand for this kind of immoral and reprehensible behavior. Georgia football has been, and always will be, an IHOP program.”

Counterpoint: this is terrible advice.

Oh god. I can’t believe I’m going to have to explain to my grandkids one day that there was a time in my life when the world believed Tiger was going to not break, but smash Nicklaus’ major records and that Sergio Garcia would never win a major title.

Why the NBA would choose OKC over Seattle is shocking. OKC isn’t even the best random Midwestern city the franchise could have gone to. That ranking is 1. KC, 2. Omaha if Warren Buffetts money is involved, and Tulsa is at least in the conversation for 3)

Lololololol, just using the last two years to judge Sonics fans? You mean the last two years, when they purposely put jerseys full of feces on the court to make the team insanely unappealing, and denied the local media access to the players? Oh. Okay.

And to the people saying Seattle is going to have to pay more? Ummm,…

They were terrible for a season, but they had a budding superstar to build around and were a new, shiny thing for people to get excited about. Not a fair comparison at all.

“Seattle is a shitty sports town. Great when the team is at the top of the league, but the stadiums are dead when they aren’t.”

I don’t mean to knock the OKC fans. They’re definitely good fans. But they haven’t really been tested yet. Those first couple of seasons, they were just excited to have any team at all and they already had a budding superstar to root for in Durant. After that, they were immediately a team on the rise and then a legit…

If you think the “chances to keep them” were negotiated in good faith by Bennett and McLendon then I have a bridge to sell you.

Obviously, I’m a homer, but the bit about empty stadiums isn’t true. Attendance falls when teams aren’t winning in Seattle (as it does across the board), but it doesn’t bottom out to the worst in the league (as it does in, say, San Diego, Pittsburgh, Miami, etc.).

Also, it’s true that the fans in OKC have ‘really…

The two renovations presented would basically gut the Key and make a new arena, though. They would each cost as much as one built from the ground up. One even involves digging fifteen feet farther down while somehow keeping the roof intact.

They were given a team with Durant and Westbrook. Durant’s gone, Westbrook will probably leave shortly. Let’s see how OKC fans rep the team when they’ve been the Kings for awhile.

I agree that OKC, Buffalo and Green Bay are the real outliers, and in that group, OKC is the real outlier.

I think Portland is the exception. They love their team even when they suck. Atlanta can’t sell out playoff games. Their fan base doesn’t deserve a team and should move.
