I read the first couple paragraphs and couldn't read it anymore.

Yesterday I was thinking the exact opposite from him. In a way, I am actually happy that the Seahawks are having a tough first half of the season so that those Seattle bandwagoner fans can sort of take the blinders off. They will eventually want to turn their attention to something else and won't be able to because the Sonics are gone and Husky football sucks. We'll have to see when it comes to Husky basketball...

IMO Seattle doesn't deserve to have anything good happen to them. They let the Sonics leave without even flinching about it. I am so fed up with the Seattle fan right now, I have had a tough time getting into any other sports the past few months, except the Olympics.

The only thing that could be 'better' for Seattle is if somehow all the yuppie bandwagoners were smoked out of town. They make me sick.

John McGrath is dellusional..he should be upset the Sonics are gone..it's his job to report on sports for the Tacoma/Seattle area. He basically has nothing to write about other than crappy Seahawks and Husky teams.

Where would we be without the wonderful propaganda machine that we refer to as news organizations?

Today I was listening to two local honks over here in Spokane lamenting how all the local sports suck. And one idiot was proud of the fact that he doesn't know anything that has happened during the preseason of the NBA. (A caller brought up Adam Morrison and Kyle Weaver and their situations.)

They preceeded to go on about how sports fans are looking to reach out to anything to get their minds off how they lost a ton of cash with their 401k's or that they simply need something to entertain them in the sports world.

Of course I was just smiling telling myself that's exactly what you get for simply not giving a crap about the Sonics and simply letting them Waltz out of town. One of the idots has had his show forever over here and last year you couldn't pay him to talk about the Sonics or even their situation.

So enjoy the Mariners, Seahawks, and Pac-10 football ineptness because that's what we have to look forward to for now on.

Man I'd love to stick my boot up their arse
