A Letter to Bring Back the Sonics

Wed, 30 May 2012 16:46:35 -0700

Dear City and County Council Members,

For the purposes of this letter, I would like to you keep close in mind the onlineslangdictionary.com definition of the word member.

It is, as follows….Member. Noun. A Penis.

So I repeat…Dear City and County Council Members,

I hope I’m not interrupting your seemingly never ending quest to do nothing. I want you to know, that it’s very unlikely that anyone will know that you read this letter, so please, continue reading without the fear that you maybe mistaken for actually DOING SOMETHING. I realize that is a major phobia for you members of the city and county council, and I have great respect for that. So please, members, don’t shrivel, read on without fear.

I write you today because we want our Sonics back. Do to a highly impotent performance from many of you members…of the city and county council….4 years ago, the Sonics left our great city for some place called Oklahoma. The team was bought by a liar named Clay Bennett, who happens to be a member himself, of the Oklahoma University Board of Regents. Anyway, he stole our team, lied to our city, and rode off into the sunset as many of you members laid flaccidly to the side.

Well, now you have the chance to rage back into action. And while I realize that you hate that sort of thing, this maybe a deal too sweet to shake your head at. $300 million in private funding, no new taxes, and we can have a multi-sport palace that will bring the Sonics and the NHL back to Seattle.

So don’t go limp, don’t shrink under the pressure, don’t let the inaction of electoral dysfunction hold you back once again. Stand tall, erected officials…I mean elected officials. Put your hard hats on, and go to work for the city, the county, and the people of the Northwest. Because remember, it’s not the size of the member in the fight that matters….it’s the size of the fight in the member.

Don’t be Dicks! Bring back the Sonics.

Sincerely,

Every Real Sonics Fan

The 2011/2012 Premier League was _______ !

Sensational? Breathtaking? Astounding? Following Manchester City’s emphatic, well deserved, nail biting 3-2 victory over QPR; it’s fair to say that the most electrifying football is played in England. We’ve been entertained with another extraordinary season which is brilliantly portrayed in this video, labelling the Premier League as “the most envied in the world”.

But, how would you describe it?

Why Zlatan is wrong about van Persie

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:49:20 -0800

Why Zlatan is wrong about van Persie

By: Taylor Jacobs

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Robin van Persie may want to leave Arsenal in order to win more trophies, however, in doing so, is implying that club loyalty is dead. Van Persie has been tipped to leave the club at the end of the season in search of more silverware - the Netherlands international has only the 2005 FA Cup to show for his eight years in north London. By contrast, Ibrahimovic has won eight consecutive league titles in the last eight seasons, and he believes Van Persie should quit Arsenal in search of similar success. Earlier in the year, Cesc Fabregas decided to jump ship and head for greener pastures in Spain. Samir Nasri and Gaël Clichy also left to join affluent Manchester City. Even Arsenal legend Thierry Henry eventually left the club he loved so much in order to find more success.

So is Zlatan right in urging RVP to quit Arsenal? Is loyalty in football dead? In this case, no. Now more than ever, RVP needs to stay with the club and be the leader that is so desperately needed to bring the club back to Championship form. But he can’t do it alone. Right now, the midfield is a mess and has no leadership. The back-line looks shaky at best with the unit struggling to keep fitness. It goes without saying that Arsenal does have talent and a productive young system to keep new and up coming talent cycling in. The team has talent, but lacks the final few pieces to make them a perennial threat. Young players like Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have the pace and skill to be extremely threatening. Wojciech Szczęsny is a fantastic young keeper, that with the right back line, could really grow to become a great keeper.

So where would RVP go Zlatan? Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked with the prolific striker. Man City seems unrealistic at this point. Until they are able to offload Tevez and his massive contract and/or get Balotelli to grow up, the team will not be looking to spend an exorbitant amount of money on another striker. Barcelona is where strikers go to become second fiddle. With the likes of Messi, Xavi, Villa and Iniesta, the team looks good enough and deep enough to not sign the striker. Real Madrid has the money to purchase RVP and the need for a prolific striker up top, however, I don’t see RVP fitting into Real Madrid’s plans for the future. Gonzalo Higuain has been playing well for Los Blancos but Karim Benzema has left more to be desired. Even though all the pieces are in place for Madrid to take a run at RVP, I think van Persie has more in mind than just winning. He has a family and kids that he also needs to think about. His children are still young and moving them from a country where they grew up could be harmful. The lifestyles of Spain and England are different and the transition between the two could be a dangerous move for the van Persie family.

At the end of the day, RVP will do what he deems best for himself and his family. Whether its in North London or Madrid or somewhere else, when the striker is healthy, he ranks among the best in the world. Just because Zlatan has bounced around from Ajax, to Milan, to Barca and back and found success doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. RVP contribution to his club has been enormous this season and it would be criminal to leave before seeing what he can accomplish in the coming years of his captaincy.
