The Sacramento Kings are in a bit of trouble. Owners, the Maloof brothers, have considered moving the team, and now it seems they are willing to sell the Kings. After possibly moving the Kings to Anaheim in 2011, the Maloof brothers are now rumored to be in discussions with a group of investors from Seattle to sell the franchise from California’s capitol city and have it moved north to the Emerald City.
The city of Seattle has already approved a deal for a new arena, so the Seattle seems to be willing to welcome back an NBA franchise back after losing the Seattle Supersonics to Oklahoma City. If the Kings move to Seattle, will the team retain the name “Kings” return to the name “Supersonics”, or take on a completely new name? That question remains to be seen, but the Atlanta Thrashers recently moved from Atlanta to Winnipeg and instead of retaining the name Thrashers, the franchise took on the name of the most recent NHL franchise in Winnipeg, the Jets. No matter what happens, the people of Seattle should be very excited about a return of the NBA.

As many of you may know, when two teams play for a championship, both teams have merchandise celebrating their victory made up before the game is even played. When one team wins, in this case the University of Alabama, they don their championship hats, shirts, etc… right after the clock hits 00:00, while the losing team, in this case Notre Dame, ends up sending their stock of merchandise to children in Africa in need of clothing. In this case, the Alabama Crimson Tide demolished the Fighting Irish, making this phantom championship gear all the more hilarious for fans of Bama’ and all the more depressing for the fans of the Irish. While these situations pop up every time a team loses a major sports championship. At least the kids in Africa benefit because the Irish aren’t excited about seeing this merchandise.
