SEATTLE - On Monday, August 13th, truth telling hot heads (just kidding) went on record.

Aubrey McClendon freely spoke to Oklahoma City newspaper The Journal Constitution and said, without coercion, “But we didn’t buy the team to keep it in Seattle; we hoped to come here,” he said. “We know it’s a little more difficult financially here in Oklahoma City, but we think it’s great for the community and if we could break even we’d be thrilled.” the freewheeling Aubrey McClendon

The comment earned Clay Bennett the title of Liar (you'll have to believe me since the title was changed) by Brian Robinson. Since then Bennett, McClendon and Robinson have done some backpeddling from what was said, none noting that at the time of the free expression event that what they said wasn't true.

The reality is that it is all true. Bennett is a liar, McClendon didn't buy the Sonics just to leave them in Seattle, they are just bound by a one year game of shadow puppets until they can pack up and leave. Robinson wants to have some kind of relationship with the ownership group even though they are liars (Clay didn't mean to hit me) and the relationship is all one sided. Robinson is doing all of the leg work the owners don't want done, because they don't want to stay and Robinson doesn't want them to go.

In the end, the only way they stay is if the fans support the team, shun the owners, make a stink about the lying liars and the lies they tell (sorry Al) and somebody has to step forward with the money to buy the team along with a deal that keeps them in the Seattle to keep them in town without soaking the taxpayers.

No matter what Bennett, McClendon and Robinson say from here on out isn't keeping the team in town without a local owner stepping up.

Are they going to bury you with all that money?
