Get to about 3:45... :evil:

What a panty waste. I love how people keep calling him out on his bullshit though.

If anyone here willfully gives their money to Starbucks, you should be ashamed. Schultz has a lifetime of bad voodoo headed his way.

Anyone in addition to BillHawks going to the rally on Thursday? I'll be there. Have to figure out a way out of work. But I'll be there. Wearing either a green Kemp or white Payton jersey.

Did any of you guys listen to the head of the Seattle Times editorial staff on with Brock and Salk yesterday? Wow. Talk about smug and arrogant. At one point she condescended, "We're just asking the questions no one else is. Somebody has to act like adults." It's a good listen. Salk and Brock give it to her pretty good, considering the need to be civil. My favorite part was when she was blathering on about how there is no guarantee that the revenue will be there to pay off the bonds. About how government programs are in trouble because their revenue projections were off. Brock replied, “How are the Safeco and Qwest Field bonds doing?” She says, “Oh, uh, uh. I am not familiar with those details.” Salk quickly chimes in, “Ahead of schedule.” Yeah. Exactly.

My girlfriend won't go to Starbucks with me for fear of how I will act

I wish I could make it, but I just got back from a trip in Seattle (seriously, bad timing on my part), but have decided that I will hold my own little rally at work and will document it. We will see how it goes.

Don't know if you guys have seen this. Chris Hansen putting the traffic issue on blast.

Mannn I'm trying to make a move to get to the rally, but right now its not looking good lol.

Softy, Mitch, and Gas Bag talking arena on 950. Mitch with an interesting comment. Said that the other members of the ownership group are going to be soon unveiled, and “you’re gonna love them.”

Gary Payton just told us he's planning on meeting with Chris Hansen tomorrow over dinner. "We're going to talk about a lot of things."

Hmmmmmm

I don't know how much money Gary is sitting on, but I imagine if he could even buy a small stake and basically be the ambassador for Seattle basketball, we'd all be pretty ecstatic.

Saw the name Balmer getting thrown around on Twitter....

Wasn't he involved in the last ditch effort to buy back the team from Bennett before the move?

She got beat up pretty good there. You know that your opponent is defeated when they mindlessly reiterate there point over and over again even though it has been addressed and disproved.

J.A. Adande KILLS IT.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- That dateline should have been SEATTLE. The backdrop to the start of the NBA Finals should have been the Space Needle and ferries gliding across the Puget Sound, not trains rumbling past brick warehouses and off into the plains. For those reasons, if anyone’s due for a karmic comeuppance in this series it’s the owners of the Thunder, not the star player of the Heat.

I would love to step on Howard Shultz's face.

I want to punch him in the face multiple times......

Finally got to listen to that, yea, she really didn't add anything to the discussion, the port concerns, the public money concerns. She sounded like a parrot. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions. We're just asking the questions.....

Ok, we got it. :roll:

Is Colin Cowherd a Sonics fan? I know he never gives the Hawks credit, but he was giving it to Clay Bennett and OKC pretty hard.
