This is not how you want your city to be recognized by the national media:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/21/sport ... ref=sports

The print edition had a much less optimistic, and more realistic, headline: "Sports in this city are just terrible."

Article includes quotes from Brian Robinson and Sir Mix-A-Lot (yes, he's still alive).

Wow, the NY Times did a great job in making me feel even more depressed. Just when I thought that wasn't possible anymore.
I used to think Big Lo was annoying these past couple of years (when I was younger I thought he was cool), but I actually kind of miss seeing him at Sonics games. He was kind of like the tuba man in the sense that his presence was apart of the whole going to a game experience. I miss that.
