You didn’t think it was over meet because the team relocated did you? Well, if you did, you’re wrong. The Seattle SuperSonics fans are still following through with their lawsuits and various threats against owner Clay Bennett who moved the franchise to Oklahoma City. Since it’s almost unthinkable that a determine would force the team to move back to Seattle, these fans are seeking free tickets for the next two seasons in Oklahoma City.
According to Google Maps the indifference from Seattle to Oklahoma City is 2,000 miles, a trip that would take over 24 hours to accomplish. So, it’s not probable these fans, if they received these tickets, would actually attend all the games. Instead, season ticket holders poverty to receive tickets for free in order to sell them for profit. Not exactly what I thought they would be asking for, but then again, I’ve never been a fan of a team that has relocated.
It seems these fans think it would only be fair that they be paid in some artefact for Bennett moving the franchise. And what a better artefact than attain money off the free tickets a determine could award to them. However, this also seems unlikely. I’m not sure what the outcome module be, but I wouldn’t expect every season ticket holder in Seattle to receive free tickets.

With Football season right around the corner, we here at Dejuiced! have definite to take a countenance at the coaches in the NFL and college football to see how substantially the fans approve of them. Today we countenance at Mike Gundy.
Before we start hunting at Coach Gundy, I’ll intend it out of the way. “He’s a man!” OK - I’m done. However, that was one of the all-time classic press conferences in college football. It was one that he would rather rip the media than talk about his team’s intend over Texas Tech. But press conferences same that don’t help you ready your job. Sure, it earns you a lowercase respect and a LOT of face time on TV and the Internet, but doesn’t ready you on the sideline.
Gundy is 18-19 in his three seasons in Stillwater as the head coach. He’s led the Cowboys to back-to-back bowl game wins after posting a 4-7 evaluation in his first season. Yet, now is the time for him to prove that he can take OSU to that next level.
Gundy has one of the most exciting quarterbacks to check in college football, in Zac Robinson. And the Cowboys have a pretty soft non-conference schedule in 2008, which includes Missouri State, Houston, Troy and the season opener at pedagogue State. However, the Cowboys module play three of their toughest word foes all on the road (Missouri, Texas and Texas Tech). The Cowboys do catch a break in their word schedule by hosting both Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
Entering his fourth season, we should be seeing Gundy’s recruits making an effect and begin moving up in the Big 12 standings. So, you tell us. Do you approve of Gundy as the head coach of Oklahoma State?

After on-and-off again negotiations, the Indiana Pacers have agreed in principle to send six-time All-Star Jermaine O?Neal to the Toronto Raptors for point guard T.J. Ford and the 17th pick in Thursday?s NBA draft, a association executive said Wednesday.
After nearly completing the care earlier in the week, Pacers and Raptors officials needed to exchange more medical aggregation on O?Neal?s mitt articulatio and Ford?s neck before finding a richness take with the trade.

Ford, who has a history of neck injuries, became expendable when Toronto GM Bryan Colangelo definite that he desired to attain Jose Calderon the franchise?s future at point guard.

He missed the 2004-05 season with the Bucks following neck surgery, and missed 13 games with a neck trauma terminal season after Atlanta?s Al Horford leveled him on a breakaway layup. Ford has $25 million and two eld mitt on his contract. Indiana had been searching for a point guard and Ford takes the employ now.
Calderon is a restricted free agent, and Colangelo has insisted that he?ll match any offer for him. Clearly, the Raptors module belong to him now.
The Pacers would now hold the 11th and 17th picks in the draft.

Lakers intend a break before NBA finals
Kobe Bryant was positively giddy.
The Los Angeles Lakers star and his teammates, resplendent in caps and T-shirts honoring their Western Conference championship, were celebrating on the Staples Center floor as Jerry West spoke to the crowd.

Has Any City?s Sports Teams Won All Four Major League Championships in One Year?
The simplest answer is no. No city has hosted the underway owner of Vince Lombardi Trophy (National Football League), Larry O’Brien/Walter A. Brown Trophy (National Basketball Association), World Series Trophy (Major League Baseball) and Stanley Cup (National Hockey League) in the same year. The closest any city has become so far is 1988 when the […]
The simplest answer is no. No city has hosted the underway owner of Vince Lombardi Trophy (National Football League), Larry O’Brien/Walter A. Brown Trophy (National Basketball Association), World Series Trophy (Major League Baseball) and Stanley Cup (National Hockey League) in the same year. The closest any city has become so far is 1988 when the Raiders, Lakers, and Dodgers all brought championships to Los Angeles. Six other times, a city has hosted two out of four champions:
- 1956: New royalty Giants (NFL) and New royalty Yankees (MLB)
- 1971: Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) and Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB)
- 1976: Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) and Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB)
- 1999: metropolis Cowboys (NFL) and metropolis Stars (NHL)
- 2001: Denver Broncos (NFL) and Colorado Avalanche (NHL)
- 2002: Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) and Anaheim Angels (MLB)
- 2004: New England Patriots (NFL) and Boston Red Sox (MLB)
Students of sports history, however, are aware that these four trophies have not always represented “the” field leagues. There are the inoperative competing field leagues such as the pre-merger American Football League or the World Hockey Association to consider. Also, the NBA was not always the field association in basketball, and other leagues have a beatific claim to being “the” field association for basketball at various times. Finally, we should at small study the champions of the Canadian Football League considering the number of NHL teams from that country.
Broadening the definition same this adds relatively few cities to our list. Twice in the New 20’s three of four field association champions were from New York: the Giants, Yankees and Brooklyn Celtics in 1927, and the Yankees, Rangers and Brooklyn Celtics in 1928. The Brooklyn Celtics played in the American Basketball League, at a time when the NBA did not still exist.
Other two-champion cities considering these competing and inoperative field leagues are:
- 1930: Montreal Canadiens (NHL) and Montreal AAA (CFL)
- 1932: Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and Toronto Argonauts (CFL)
- 1942: Toronto Maple Leafs (NFL) and Toronto RCAF Hurricanes (CFL)
- 1944: Montreal Canadiens (NHL) and Toronto HMCS Donnacona
- 1947: Chicago Cardinals (NFL) and Chicago American Gears (NBL)
- 1947: Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and Toronto Argonauts (CFL)
- 1948: Cleveland Indians (MLB) and Cleveland Browns (AAFC)
- 1977: Montreal Canadiens(MHL) and Montreal Alouettes (CFL)
- 1987: Edmonton Oilers (NHL) and Edmonton Eskimos (CFL) Notes:
- The Toronto RCAF Hurricanes and Montreal HMCS Donnacona were football teams from various armed forces bases which competed for the Grey Cup during WWII.
- The Chicago American Gears were in the National Basketball League. The NBL merged with the Basketball Association of America (BAA) in 1949 to form the underway NBA.
- The Cleveland Browns started their history in the All-America Football Conference. The AAFC competed with the NFL for four years. In 1949 the AAFC partially merged into the NFL, the Cleveland Browns won the NFL championship the next year.
So patch no city has complete what might be a “GrandSlam” of field association team sports, New royalty (twice) and Los Angeles (once) came close.

With Football season right around the corner, we here at Dejuiced! have definite to take a countenance at the coaches in the NFL and college football to see how substantially the fans approve of them. Today we countenance at Norv Turner.
Norv Turner is the head coach of the San Diego Chargers. The Negro who took over the reigns after Marty Schottenheimer and his 14-2 regular season record. But hey Marty, if you can’t intend the big game 14-2 means nothing. But we aren’t here to handle you. Back to Norv.
He started the season off on a slow start with the Chargers but ended the regular season at 11-5. The Chargers then beat the Tennessee Titans and the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts on the road. But then forfeited in the AFC championship game to the then undefeated New England Patriots. Not bad for his first year, right? Let’s meet see if he can repeat.
