Yes, he's number one. And he's number two. And no, he's not on the list.

Reading this makes me "thankful" for Angelos in the sense that I know it could be worse.

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

"Now OPS sucks.  Got it."

"Making his own olive brine is peak Mackus."

"I'm too hungover to watch a loss." - McNulty

Growing up in Baltimore in the year 1979 it pains me to say this but do you know how much more OKC is worth today then when it was in Seatle?  Can you really blame them for that move?


<p>I am pretty sure Shack is thinking of PBR.

Why wouldn't they be worth that in Seattle? Just with the market, let alone if you assume that they would have built a new arena by now.

Didn't the Thunder trade James Harden, before they even had to really, because they said the luxury tax would be too high for a team in a market as small as OKC?

Yes but that 125 mil was no where near the money they were going to have available to them. They also had decling attendance numbers. Check the okc tv/attendance they most likely could not over come that in Seatle. People were not interested till they left.

What happens when attendance declines in Oklahoma City?

Should have been titled "15 worst owners in sports based on Rolling Stones' political leanings".
