Clay Bennett Brings The Lumber (Or Rather The Goon Squad)

By oddJoe ⋅ January 28, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

From now on we shall address Seattle SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett as His Lord Highness Bennett, Duke of Sonicsville. It seems a fitting title for someone who apparently sees himself ruling over a small fiefdom with an iron fist.
According to the Sonics Blog from The Seattle Times (link stolen from CSTB), a fan names Sam […]

Clay Bennett Has No Time For The Ladies

By oddJoe ⋅ January 8, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Seattle basketball fans probably won’t have the SuperSonics around much longer, but it looks like they might be able to cheer on the Seattle Storm women’s team. Yippee skipee!
Not wanting to carry and dead weight in the U-Hauls to Oklahoma City, that evil bastard no good Clay Bennett agreed today to sell the Storm to […]

No More Free Rides To The Top Of The Space Needle For David Stern

By oddJoe ⋅ November 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Speaking to reporters at a news conference yesterday, NBA commissioner David Stern told reporters that the league would not consider returning to Seattle if the SuperSonics leave for Oklahoma City. “If the team moves, there’s not going to be another team there, not in any conceivable future plan that I could envision,” he said.
Stern went […]

From The Diary Of Clay Bennett

By oddJoe ⋅ November 3, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Dear Diary,
You can probably imagine yesterday was pretty hard, but I finally did it. I finally told Seattle what I think about out relationship and my true feelings for Oklahoma City and I broke it off. It’s done. What a weight off my shoulders.
You can’t imagine what it’s been like all these months living a […]

What to do about the Sonics?

By oddJoe ⋅ August 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s an interesting post at the AOL Fanhouse regarding some inside information passed along by a whistle blower within the franchise. Apparently new owner Clay Bennett held a meeting with employees recently and basically told them to pack their bags because they were moving to Oklahoma City soon.
Add this to the mounting evidence that Bennett […]

You Might Be a Redneck If . . .

You boast to the world you duped the world after buying a major sports franchise.
Aubrey McClendon, a billionaire oilman from Oklahoma and part of the group that purchased the Seattle SuperSonics last year, told The Journal Record today that Clay Bennett and Co. had no intention of keeping the team in Washington state. “We didn’t […]

*gasp* I can’t believe it!
Anyone seriously taken aback by the news that Clay Bennett is going to move the Sonics out of Seattle please raise your hand. Now please take a magic marker, write “rube” on a piece of paper and pin it to your shirt so everyone knows.
Yes, less than a year after buying […]

Clay Bennett Does Not Like KeyArena

By oddJoe ⋅ August 10, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, let’s see here, how many seats are there? Luxury suites? What do we sell tickets for? Hmm, you know I really should have taken a closer look at this before I bought the team. Guess I got kinda caught up in the moment and wasn’t thinking too straight. But I have to say, this […]

Clay Bennett Likes Seattle, Really

By oddJoe ⋅ July 21, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Howdy, folks. Shore is good to be up here in Seattle. It’s a mighty perdy place. Now I know some of you have been worried that I might up and steal your basketball team and take it back to Oklahoma with me, but I want to assure you that this is not the case. I […]
