You're right. There certainly isn't any motivation for a guy that's spent most of his life in the seattle area and currently lives there to want to move his basketball team there.

nope

WSJ: So you wouldn’t move the Clippers to Seattle?

Ballmer: If I get interested in the Clippers, it would be for Los Angeles. I don’t work anymore, so I have more geographic flexibility than I did a year, year-and-a half ago. Moving them anywhere else would be value destructive.


and it's good news too this place doesn't need another mediocre sports team, we've already got two

I went to a game in 2006, the ticket was like $10 and me and the group that went + maybe 30 other people were there, so I don't think even seattle noticed

Sounds like the Nets before they moved to Brooklyn.

I was really only interested in the NBA when I was a kid, especially around the Dream Team era. :(

this times like a billion, not only is seattle and the surrounding area not a huge market for sports, it's a really loving fickle market that normally has mediocre teams, people here do not get excited about sports, the seahawks craze last year was bizarre and very out of the ordinary. each seattle team has had its time in the spotlight once or twice, but for the most part they're mediocre to outright bad (current mariners, the post kemp/schrempf/payton sonics, the seahawks for 37 out of 38 years)

There was a natty guard lieutenant I worked with in England years ago that his life goal was to: 1. Get rich 2. Open a brewery 3. Bring the Whalers back. He was good people.

Hockey's pretty great. Games are over quick, no out of bounds, lots of tradition, fights still happen. It's not like the NFL where it takes 4 hours to watch 60 minutes of stop start play. Also the Bears are a generally mediocre franchise who's large fan base astonishes me.

The LA vs Chicago series was pretty loving good. I thought quick was going to choke like he usually does in OT and in shootouts. Pretty bad rear end they pulled it off.

Much like most of the other Chicago sports teams with the Blackhawks and Bulls excluded. I don't live within range of Chicago TV stations anymore but I would always :lol: at the beginning of the NFL season when the local news people would trot out stories about the 1986 Bears as of like at least 2011.

Sucks about the Blackhawks though. :(

Google trends for "roman numerals"

Oh look, it spikes right at the same time as the Super Bowl because people are too stupid to understand the roman numeral system.

Apparently it's gotten better, I think I paid about $5 for one of those a few years ago. It's in a shoebox somewhere, I guess.

Edit: They were in production for a while before Fleer noticed. There are a few versions...the unedited one, one where it's whited out, and another where its blacked out.

Sorry dude, but you have to admit it's in a down turn to say the least. I love going to a AAA game and drinking reasonable priced beer and hot dogs more than anyone, but the fact of the matter is the game itself is simply being forgotten.
