Team formerly known as Sonics have a new name

2:48 PM Sun, Jul 20, 2008 |

According to a tv station in OKC, Clay Bennett has a new name for the team formerly known as the Sonics. Drum roll please...the new name is...the "Thunder". What, didn't Clay like our suggestion of the Robber Barons? Here's the website with the story. According to the report, Bennett and the Boys haven't given comment on the story. Apparently, the name "Thunder" was the winning name from an OKC newspaper contest. But Clay may get the last word.

Oklahoma City owner Clay Bennett has said privately he prefers a nickname that ends with the letter "s" instead of a singular name nickname, but Bennett added that he and his partners would consider several options. - newsok.com 7/20/08


Maybe the "man possessed" should also check to see if another team in Oklahoma is using that name. Guess what, there is.

Your headline writer needs an English 101 refresher.

Maybe you should stop your f&cking crying. All I have seen from you for 6 months is "Oh pitty us, they're stealing an overrated sports team from us." Quit your belly aching and find a real sport to report on. And shave that faggity patch of fur under your lower lip. You look like a douch

OK, LAST TIME:


WE DON'T CARE.

I'm sorry that some local media people are out of jobs now that the team formally known as the Sonics are doing the okeeedokeee.
Too bad.
So sad.

But, we dont care. Go find somthing else to chatter about.

Why is it always the ones who "don't care" that are the ones leaving the comments? Seems fishy to me. Sad to say, but we here in the Pacific Northwest ARE bandwagon fans. If they had been winning, it would be a different story. Don't care? Why leave the comments? Are you paid to make/leave comments?

People are saying they don't care as a way to deal with their grief. If they didn't care, they wouldn't have clicked on the story. They do care, and are hurting and lashing out. Until we get a reincarnated version of the Supersonics, Go Blazers! Vote Dino in November to show our government they misread their constituents by not fighting for the team.

A very good name for a team that will have everyone stealing that from them.

Why are you guys still whining about the Sonics? GET OVER IT!!!!!! If the Sonics were SO loved in Seattle,then why didn't a local millionare buy them?! Because they were LOSERS! Calling them the Robber Barons shows what a bunch of immature,stupid,pussies the Sonic fans really are.
