@Clark Matthews Wow, you're a brave man. Was that for a column you were working on or just cause? If it was a column, did you already publish it on the site?

Seattle seems to be over the Sonics. I just spent four days there, wearing a Thunder ball cap constantly. I braced for, at minimum, some dirty looks, and likely, some nasty comments. Instead, the only time I got a comment from a Seattle native was when I wore a Joe Mauer (of the Minnesota Twins) jersey. Then, I was told by multiple people that I wasn’t welcome.

I never noticed so much as a sour look toward the hat.

@KingGondo seriously, the posting on daily thunder has restored my faith in humanity. haha, that's probably pushing it, but this site really is a godsend. other than my brother (who comes close but can't quite match my level of sports obsession), i am starved for intelligent sports debate. i enjoy talking about sports more than just about anything (save playing them), and this site has given me a vehicle to do that. i want to sincerely thank royce, joe, and all the posters here for a truly awesome site

This is a different Ryan than previous ranter. I might have to go by a different name now. Anyways I think Gortat is perfect for this team. He is a big athletic defensive center that is also young enough to stick around with the core for years to come. Now coming to Milsapp I feel he is not what this franchise needs. It just creates a logjam again at the PF position and puts doubt in Jeff about the feelings the front office has about his ability. He has only been playing the position for a year. Give Jeff a chance to prove he is capable of playing it.

@Jax Raging Bile Duct
Absolutely.

The unfortunate thing, however, is the fact that “That Guy” is able to get his opinion out much more easily nowadays. Start a blog. Comment on ESPN stories. If you’re lucky, someone will give you a radio show and call you the “Dominant Duo.”

When you meet “That Guy,” the best thing to do is just laugh and move on.

I must say, however–posting on Daily Thunder has given me faith that there are plenty of passionate and intelligent sports fans out there.
