Affirmed.

I couldn't hear him over the guy crunching pop cans.

When they move, they had better keep Squatch as their mascot. I'll subject myself to being the Sonics in the NBA 2K series just to see Squatch's cool life.

Is it me, or does Stern kinda look like a very old Chinese man now?

So a franchise dying sounds like an old man sending back soup at a deli?

And doves cry.

What was I supposed to be looking for in that shaky video? The chupacabra?

It's amazing he can manage such impressive diction, what with all the bullshit coming out of his mouth.

/not even a Sonics fan

Al that stuff I said last night about hanging out together today... I sorta told Oklahoma City I'd hang out with her. But I have your number, so I'll give you a call sometime, and then you'll have my number, and we'll see what happens.

"This Is What It Sounds Like When A Franchise Dies"

That headline also works for this clip.

Fortunately, Montreal Expos fans couldn't understand Puerto Rican.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN???

by that i mean Shawn Kemp's kids?

Sounds like boring.

You would think that one of the 57 would have known a couple of words.

I think it's been unfair the way the local yokels won't pay for our new stadium, so we're taking our ball and going to Oklahoma.

Fixed, you shifty bastard.

From Simmons: "If the precedent is set here -- Pay for my new arena or I'm leaving -- then really, the same thing could eventually happen to your favorite NBA team."

Uh, why does he think there is an NFL team in Tennessee. I know he says "NBA" but brecedent was set for this in sports long ago.

Call me crazy, but I'm just fine with fans and lawmakers who tell billionaires to go fuck themselves when they want a new stadium built. Stern's complain is that Clayton Bennet paid for an asset but the people of Seattle won't help him make it more valuable?

Stern can go fuck himself too.

David Stern is a cuntrag.

Admittedly, I haven't watched a Sonics game in over eight years, but the hijacking of the franchise is killing me. However, some of the blame needs to be passed to the previous owners for running the team into the ground before selling them off.

Pacific Northwest teams are cursed to move to the south...you're on notice Portland. Don't be surprised if in a couple of years you become Little Rock Trailblazers.

Can't they just take the Knicks instead?

I hope Goodell does a better job than Stern when the Bills move to Toronto.

Great. Now Adam Sandler has to re-write the Hannukah song AGAIN.

I am a Blazer fan and dislike the Sonics...but...fuck David Stern and Clay Bennett right in the goatass. What a bunch of pricks. Taking their ball and going home. Fuckers.

"brecedent"?

Nice.

Dumbass.

What? A rainy day in Seattle?
/bad jokes galore

I'm surprised the douchebag didn't make Adam Silver do this press conference.

To protest moving a company to away from its original location, I will not buy a Mercedes built in Alabama.

Solidarity, brothers.

@crazyjoedavola: No, because then the producers of Eddie would sue for plagiarism. Clay Bennett is an asshole, but he's no fool.

I'll have a nostalgic tear in my eye when I rap along to "It Was A Good Day"

"We looked at all of our options, we crunched all the numbers, we looked at market shares and television revenue and you know, Oklahoma City just seems like a far better place to have a professional sports franchise than Seattle. Look, as long as we have a healthy franchise in New York we're fine. What's that you say?"

Seattle cares enough to send a bunch of inane letters to a sportswriter, but not enough for a one cent sales tax increase.

@Big Daddy Drew: "You must be aware, Mr. Morey, that China has a very long memory."

In Indy, they built a shining palace for basketball, and the team promptly repaid the citizens by becoming the poster children for Reprobates Gone Amuck.

Be happy, Seattle. Your hands are clean.

And Larry O'Brien (the last decent man to be the commish of a pro sports league) weeps.

Bastard...him, Bettman and Selig will have a blast in Hell.

Do you see what happens when you fuck Seattle in the ass?

@EditorOfTheDailyFaberian: for a rich cuntrag who could afford to build a venue out of his pocket change? I would have voted no too.

I hope Pearl Jam writes a protest song for this.

/David Stern

I know I haven't posted in... oh... 7 months, but anybody know the current laws on purchasing a handgun? No?

How about Stern's home address. I can figure the first part out myself...

Bridges over the Mississippi are collapsing into the rivers, but hey at least the Twins and Pohlad got a nice new stadium.

We are all screwed.

I know it's unwise to leave the shelter of the NHL Closer when discussing hockey, but Gary Bettman will be spouting similar bullshit when the Predators move to Kansas City.

@T-dawg: follow the stench. Ya can't miss it. I think it's on Gutless Lane.

@Balls State Explorer: He learned from the master.

@UpstateUnderdog:

I hear "Dirty Frank" was about Brickowski.

@crazyjoedavola: Another sumbitch who could afford to build it himself.

@EditorOfTheDailyFaberian: Frankly, I don't think that's the point. I think the point is that they built them a new arena 10-15 years ago and now Bennett and the NBA want the city and state to give them millions of dollars so that their asset can be more valuable.

That's a bunch of horseshit.

@Balls State Explorer: You're amongst friends, and I have a feeling that the Islanders are going to be forced to leave in a few years. And get this... the owner wants to actually pay for the refit, and the government is stalling it!

Well, this is what Seattle gets for unleashing Frasier upon the world.

Clearly, the burgeoning market in fucking Oklahoma is more important than a 40+ year history in Seattle.

I mean, that's clear. Oklahoma. Jesus.
