I just can't get enough of Stern whining about his experience with the government here. Even though I hate the guy his ridiculous logic never ceases to make me feel a little more than embarrassed for him. Can any owner besides Clay actually take this guy seriously!?

The start of his answer to this question sounds pretty intelligent.. :roll:

Q: Do you consider that franchise all but gone right now?
A:Well, it seems to me that, and I said early, if I were the owner and the Speaker of the House told me what he told me and the mayor told me what he told me and the city council told me what they told me, you know, I mean, the House said 'We're not even going to put the bill out. We're not even going to give the legislature an opportunity. So I think it's been unfair the way it's been shifted back to us. Clay Bennett has an asset that he paid good money for, he did a lot of work and spent additional millions on optioning land and doing a variety of other things in anticipation or hope that there would be legislation extending the tax and they said, 'No.' So he applied to move to Oklahoma City.
