    I'm just waiting for Allen to announce he's selling the team.

    I'm sure Paul Allen's main concern is more money to give away when he dies, not achieving a long elusive goal of an NBA championship.

    Now wait a second. Penn was a serial sexual harasser, and KP was a glory hog who took credit for Steve Patterson's wonderful and brilliant moves.

    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it, no matter how much sense your post makes to me!

    Leiweke got the credit that Whitsitt deserved. Bob's players got to the Superbowl. Dismantle his roster and look where it gets you.
