Aubrey's Wine Sale Nets $2.2 Mil

Well, at least one thing has gone well for Aubrey McClendon in the past eight months - he was able to unload part of his wine collection in New York this past weekend, and the WSJ reports it earned him (or, rather, Sotheby's) $2.2 million.

Just think, if the next auction (slated for Hong Kong for the other half of the wine collection) is as successful, maybe the Sonix could afford Tyson Chandler after all.

The Dulcet Tones of KC Jones

In this video, KC Jones is either:



1. Announcing that Portland, Maine's new D-League team is going to be nicknamed the Blackbirds
2. Infreakingsane
3. All of the above

Bonus points for noticing the semi-panicked look on the gentleman behind KC's right shoulder. I'm guessing "this wasn't on the script" and "my God, how much longer is he going to keep this up" floated through his thought processes at some point.

Drew Carey's Got Your Back

"Here comes this evil NBA owner who takes the SuperSonics, screws the city with this duplicitous deal he put together and takes them to Oklahoma. The whole city hates this guy. One of their major sports is gone now. And we come in like, 'Hey, is yo man not treatin' you right? Come and see us.'"

—Drew Carey, part-owner of Seattle Sounders
