only in the nhl

seriously, would this happen in any other sport?

I wish it were this guy appointed to the new GM position instead of Garth Snow


I'm talking about Gorton up there.

Meanwhile, in the NBA, the Sonics were sold to an Oklahoma City investment group. YAYSport's funny post sort of misses the true impact of this decision... Oklahoma City could be only the second city to become home to TWO NBA franchises. Think of the rivaly possibilities. The panhandle series. Channeling Darryl Dawkins, Rashard Lewis will begin naming his dunks, starting with "The Thresher," and then begin practicing interplanetary funkmanship, not only because somebody in the NBA should be doing that at all times, but also, it would be real freedarko of him to transform his on-court style into some crop circles, metaphorically demonstrating his cyclonic wind action. He will have many chances to do this, as there are many fields in Oklahoma. Actually, the arena could be nicknamed too, something catchy like, "Fields of Screams/Dreams/Teams". Any of those are appropriate because the emphasis in this case would be on "fields." In case you forgot, here's the Hornet's current stadium:



I am saying the place is RURAL!


Well, at the very least, Saer Sene might find the topography familiar, easing his transition from 7'6" skill-less foreigner/"project" to his telos as another typical 7'6" NBA stiff that someone will inevitably and yet somehow also spectacularly, dunk over. I think that's freedarko too. Anyway, I hope one team gets renamed the "Okies" and the other something clever and unexpected like...the "Dusted Bowlers". Maybe the "Bombers." Oof, did I cross a line? OK, I'm out.
