Seattle times must be pissed at how that poll is turning out.

Seriously they just need to die right now, the way they structured that article its still not fair and balanced it still has a tilt to it. Honestly screw The Times, man!

 

[JOz56]

It's obvious at this point that people really are not buying into the times crap, so long as we keep strong and continue to show our support, and continue to call out the times I'm really not worried.

I am sincerely curious as to how they will slant these new poll numbers. Watching the death of journalism from the times has been interesting to say the least

Coyotes sale in jeopardy as well?

Could you imagine if this all comes together??

The arena, the NBA, the NHL.....

It will be the first good luck in Seattle sports history in a long long time.

They said the meeting went well, and McGinn expressed his full commitment to getting a stadium here.

Would that be a good thing or a bad thing that he didn't know?

No clue haha

Anyone going to the Sonics Arena Rally on the 14th at Occidental Park? Payton, Kemp, Watts, and Calabro will be there. There will be food trucks and the Blue Scholars and Presidents of the United States of America will be performing.

I'll be the white guy with the Kemp jersey (one in a hundred, I'm sure)

 

[JKent82]

I wish I could make it... Should be a really good time. Hopefully they get a good turnout

I will be in Bellingham celebrating my girlfriend graduating from nursing school, but I will make a point to wear either my Sonics t-shirt or hoodie (weather depending). I will also drink a scotch ale at Boundary Bay for every year they played in Seattle!

Scotch and Oatmeal stout are a couple of the best beers you'll ever have. Make sure to get a couple bottles to bring home :th2thumbs:
