I Hate Clay Bennett

Clay Bennett is a real piece of shit.

Here he is pictured with his "boy-toy" David Stern. The City of Seattle vs. the Sonics case just got underway yesteday. And today Mr. Bennett took the stand and sounded like the rich jack-ass that he truely is. From ESPN:

Under questioning from city of Seattle lawyer Paul Lawrence, Bennett said the $65 million the team could lose if forced to honor the remaining two years of its KeyArena lease is significant but "would not significantly alter" his family's lifestyle.

What a pompous prick! $65 million is nothing to this guy. All he wants is the same thing he wanted when he bought the team: To steal the Sonics and take them to OK City. I hope he chokes on some tumbleweed.

Preparing to Coug it with Bennett

WSU is already trying to prevent national coach of the year Tony Bennett from leaving the farm down in the palouse. According to the Seattle Times:

Some influential Washington State alumni concerned about retaining national coach of the year Tony Bennett have launched a drive to raise money to try to entice Bennett to remain at WSU. Cougars athletic director Jim Sterk said Tuesday an e-mail campaign to alumni in recent weeks has raised "pledges of upwards of a quarter-million dollars."

Only a quarter million bucks? Thats not gonna keep him there. He's in a contract right now that pays him two million over five years. He's gonna get at least one million a year from a "big time" program. My guess is that he'll go to a Big 10 program like Michigan or Minnesota and get the hell out of Pullman.
