By Scott Gilmour Dear Seattle;
First off, we would like to officially welcome you to our hell. You see, our city is a charter member of that small fraternity of places that know what it's like to lose their team. Actually, let us rephrase that: have their team ripped away from them under the watchful eye of a short, New York-living commissioner with a law degree. More than that, we felt that we should pull you aside for a man-to-man, city-to-city talk. The kind of talk that almost certainly has to take place in an old bar over a tall pint of beer.

Why are we still talking about Kevin Durant like he's the second coming of Lebron James, or even the second coming of Carmelo Anthony, for that matter? I mean, his situation relates in some ways better to Anthony, as a matter of fact, but you get my point. We're ballooning this kid into this great statue of a player, and he's played just 8 games. We're buffing him and sculpting him into something his fragile frame cannot handle. I mean, really. He moves around like a high school player. The kid couldn't even bench 180 pounds at pre-draft workouts. Not even once. And don't tell me that has nothing to do with basketball. It has plenty to do with basketball. Look at Lebron, Kobe, and T-Mac. These guys are finesse, yet complete players. They take it to the rim with moves, swagger, confidence, but most importantly, physical play. They rely on their muscle, explosion, and finishing touch to dominate their opponents, and I'm here to tell you, that is something that our chosen one Kevin Durant severely lacks.

David Stern recently said if Seattle lost the Sonics they would not get a new team in the foreseeable future. This is an attempt to increase the pressure on Seattle and the state of Washington to do whatever necessary to keep their team. In the mind of David Stern whatever necessary means the building o a new state of the art arena using tax payer money. The use of public funds for a new arena can be classified as nothing but a rip off. It is the creation of massively expensive infrastructure for the super rich to use to become more super rich. There are times when the surrounding neighborhood may become revitalized but there is no guarantee and before the bonds are paid off most stadiums are considered obsolete, hurting their investment value.

By all sports standards they are underpaid, undervalued, underappreciated, and totally unprepared. The average man called upon at a moments notice to do the heroic feats of a superhero. Completely anonymous to many fans and media, yet expected to perform as a superstar. No other position in sports demands more for less. These masked men are football's backup quarterbacks.
