Terrific video from half-time of a playoff game in 1987, which includes, among other nuggets:
- A young James Brown channeling his inner Billy Dee Williams
- A lengthy profile of Bernie Bickerstaff
- Update on the draft status of Derrick McKey and Vincent Askew
- Larry Brown's new contract with Kansas
- An ongoing cocaine/gambling investigation involving Dennis Johnson (!), Jack Sikma (!!), and Paul Mokeski (!!!)
Remember when half-time meant one guy giving highlights, and did NOT mean four people trying to speak as loudly as possible while still managing to not utter anything of importance?
Yeah, I miss those days, too.

According to an OKC sports blog, the new logo for the ex-Sonics is ... this.
I suppose one could make a comment regarding the quality of the logo, but, honestly, anything I say regarding this is just going to come off as sour grapes, regardless of the merit of my opinion.
So with that in mind, permit me to make one positive comment about the logo (assuming, of course, that this is indeed the actual logo and not just something cooked up at a factory outside of Beijing): It is very easy to draw, and, if life has not changed too drastically since I was in grade school, there will be many Pee-Chees adorned with this logo in the great Oklahoma City area this fall. For all the 8-year-old boys, who, like me, spent the greater part of fifth grade drawing various professional sports logos on their schoolwork, today is a good day.
So it's got that going for it, anyway.
