Sonics: Just. Painful.

The Sonics are making it very difficult for me to keep my New Year's Resolutions:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Wizards had just won their second straight game by more than 20 points, but coach Eddie Jordan wasn't happy.

At halftime of Washington's 108-86 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics on Sunday, Jordan lectured the team.

"We're not that good," Jordan told them.

Read the rest here.

Not that good? What does that make us? Wait, don't answer that.

After seeing a game like this, it makes you wonder: are the Sonics even trying? Do they have their eyes on the lottery already or, worse, on the moving vans? Is it any wonder the enthusiasm for basketball in this town ranks somewhere between George W. Bush and E. Coli? Sigh.

In other depressing news, I entered one of those cheesy online comedy competitions. If you have some free time, please stop by and vote for me. I need all the help I can get.

New proof that Sonics owners are evil

"What, Me Evil?"

Not content with crushing the dreams of Seattle basketball fans, it appears that Sonics minority owner Aubrey "McCreepy" McClendon is hell bent on spreading his evil one community at a time.

Seattlest's Seth Kolloen writes about McClendon's plans to wipe out a national park in Michigan.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate these guys?

New Year's Resolutions

To start off 2008 right, I thought I'd try something new this year: blogging. Ha! Seriously, I haven't been blogging about the Sonics much lately. I know this, because I keep getting emails saying "Why the hell aren't you blogging about the Sonics much lately?"

Well, my faithful handful of readers, you'll be pleased to know that one of my New Year Resolutions is to write more for Supersonicsoul. In fact, here's my entire list of Resolutions, some of which I actually plan on keeping:

1) Lose weight. (I'm starting to look like Vin Baker, if Vin Baker were 5'10 and white)
2) Read more. (Sorry, Blogs don't count.)
3) Take the "next step" in my comedy career. ("Next step" = "get paid once in a while")
4) Write more for Supersonicsoul (See? I told you so!)

And what do other folks have on their to-do list this year?

• Greg Nickels: Eat more pie.
  
• Jeff Renner: Grow back mustache
  
• Steve Pool: Kick Jeff Renner's Ass
  
• Aubrey McClendon: Learn to lie.
  
• Clay Bennett: Teach Aubrey to lie. If that doesn't work, kill him.
  
• David Stern: Admit to world that Clay Bennett and I are life partners.
  
• Oklahoma City Council: Invent a way to print money and/or gold. Also, find way to tax all City Slickers and Fancy Pants.
  
• Scooter Presti: Get Supersonicsoul to stop calling me Scooter.
  
• Kevin Durant: Increase shots per game to at least 300.
  
• PJ Carlesimo: Find Danny Fortson's phone number.
  

O.K. Supersonicsouliacs, we've all shared, now it's your turn! What are you planning on doing this year to make yourself a more complete person and/or Sonics fan? Go to more games? Post more comments? Shave the image of Slick Watts in your chest hair? We wants to know!
