Thunder blunders more than Beers?

The Oklahoma City Thunder stole their team from Seattle, but it’s about the only thing they managed to do successfully so far. They just might blunder their way through more f@#kups than the Beers!

Firstly they managed to piss off the entire city of Seattle by stealing the Sonics from under their grungy coffee drinking noses by using shonky lawyer tactics that Sweat & Sidey would be proud of. Starbucks boss Howard Schultz and Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer both sued them to try and get the team back, but they somehow got out of it by agreeing to fork out another $30 million bucks and letting Seattle keep the team colours and history.

Next they had to pick a new name. The whole world has known they chose “Thunder” a couple of months ago due to numerous leaks of not just the name, but the logo and even pictures of the merchandise sitting in a factory.

It was bad enough that they chose the WNBA-like ‘Thunder’ as a name. But then they chose colouring virtually the same as Wolfie & Nath’s favorite team - the Golden State Warriors - who play in Oak-town (Oakland), and have a lightning bolt in their logo, and whose mascot is named THUNDER!

So now we have the Thunder in Oak-city and Thunder the mascot in Oak-town, both with the same colours, a lightning bolt and shitty teams! Just how are dumb sports fans going to tell them apart?

But the blunders don’t stop there…

Their colours are also very similar to 2nd newest team in the league, the Charlotte Bobcats - also with orange and blue. So the two newest teams in the league are both orange and blue… Very original OKC Blunder!

On the day they are going to announce the name that everyone already knows, fans were able to purchase crappy OKC merchandise in the NBA.com store hours before the announcement of the team name.

And as the final and perhaps best blunder of all, the official story announcing the team name on NBA.com this morning - goes to a blank page, with the title “SEATTLE SUPERSONICS”.

Nice work Blunder, welcome to the most professional and best run sporting league in the world. You make the Beers seem like a well oiled machine…

You can bet on the Blunder to win the NBA title at the Bodog Sportsbook - they’re deservedly the least favored team at 101-1.
