    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Good point & question. Personally, I think it's a combination of factors: 1.) Lots of the "sports law" experts on TV and doing the radio-circuit interviews have close ties to the Leagues and/or are employed by a Network with vested interests in protecting the Leagues. Not exactly the best...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Nothing that happens this week is going to sway my opinion - good or bad. I'm pretty sure it will be one of the following: the NBA will delay the BoG vote, or the full BoG will vote "No" on the relocation. (and the media will go nuts about it, another round of sky-is-falling, etc) But nothing...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    What changed is that Sacramento suddenly spread their legs and started offering up public revenue streams to cover the majority of the arena. IMO, this has never been about "saving Sacramento" - that's just PR to cover up Stern's main goal: protecting the League's ability to have cities pay for...

    Blast from the Past: Crazy finish with Oilers in 96

    D'oh, can't forget about Moyer who has one of the most cringe worthy tough-guy moments of all time .... http://books.google.com/books?id=CPjDiB ... le&f=false. Loved Bennie Blades when he was in DET, unfortunately he was really a shell of himself here. I also thought Reggie Tongue was going to...

    10 mins of why we should keep Golden Tate

    Watching Tate reminds me of those old vibrating magnetic football games. Dude looks he's just out of control, elbows & knees flailing everywhere, but he's impossible to knock over. (I've also come to the sad realization that as long as YouTube Highlight videos exist, we will never be able to...

    Blast from the Past: Crazy finish with Oilers in 96

    '96 I was living in Atlanta, so although this game was blacked-out locally, I have distinct memories of watching it happen live. Oh man ... back in those days it was such a big deal to see any 'Hawks game when I was trapped on the East Coast. The Falcons must've been a road game or bye that week...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Latest run down from Field of Schemes - as usual, will probably be some good info popping up in the comments. http://www.fieldofschemes.com/2013/05/09/5094/nba-to-sacramento-kings-buyers-show-us-your-benjamins/#comment-16596

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Good God, it doesn't matter who you are - it's impossible to have a conversation via text or twitter without sounding like a 12 year-old girl.

    Goodbye, Trufant. (Jags signed him)

    Fair enough, but I'd counter that Pro-Bowls & All-Pro's aren't the best measure of a player's skill, too much political BS. Especially at CB, where voters tend to look at INTs which can often be an indicator that a player's actually getting thrown on a lot or taking chances and giving up just as...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    It may be rumor, but I definitely WANT TO BELIEVE! :twisted: I simply can't imagine what's going through Stern's head. I haven't dealt with Anti-Trust since a basic class that I barely passed in law school almost 10 years ago ... that's why it simply blows my mind what the NBA is doing. I...

    Goodbye, Trufant. (Jags signed him)

    Before the back injury, there was a good stretch of 3-4 years where you could make the case Trufant was the most dangerous guy on the whole team with the ball in his hands. Think he only wound up with 2-3 TD's in his career, but any INT he got where there was some space to work with, he always...

    Who is JS referring to here?

    The pool of draft "mistakes" he's referring to is pretty thin - Kris Durham, EJ Wilson & Mark Legree. Of all the guys they've picked in the 5th round or higher, those are the only 3 that have failed to make an impact ... and even Durham's debatable, since he was cut during a numbers log-jam at...

    Goodbye, Trufant. (Jags signed him)

    Trufant also isn't a good fit for the Nickel slot/Zone. He's always been much better on the outside, where I suspect he'll have a better shot at playing in JAX. Nothing but best wishes to him. Tru has been a rock on & off the field for this franchise, community & entire frickin' state for...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    At this point, I don't know what excites me more - the thought of getting the Sonics back, or the thought of watching H/B/N unleash a lawsuit that could fundamentally alter and/or cripple the NBA as a whole. As plenty of others have mentioned, the NBA was in my doghouse even before the Sonics...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Kind of easy for me to dismiss Brock as a talking head, but IIRC he's been heavily involved with a lot of real estate development down in SoDo and probably has some legit connections to the Hansen group through that avenue. Cautiously Optimistic. If Vegas had odds, I'd put my money on a...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    I don't know for sure either, Dr. I've been trying to google what I can. The ROFO is in the Kings' main Franchise Agreement, basically says that whenever a controlling interest is sold any minority owner can use the ROFO to step in and match, and in the case of matching offers the minority...

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    One other major Ace up Hansen's sleeve that I haven't seen much talk about: The 7% of the Kings that he's already purchased through Bankruptcy Court. Obviously, it's just a minority share but still adds to his leverage. Look at the process - it means the NBA told the Federal Courts, "Hey, we've...

    So NBA player Jason Collins is gay.

    For the past decade or so, I've felt like American society has been split 50/50 on the issue. With the events of recent years, I think we've finally reached the tipping point - now it's more like 55%-60% support and 40%-45% oppose. As a general rule, the people that oppose will ALWAYS oppose -...
