Voting is now open for the three finalists:
1. Thunder rocks Loud City; New York is next
2. I am Thunder loud and Oklahoma proud
3. Gonna wear my Thunderwear in Times Square
My vote went to No. 3 for really no good reason. I’m sure Berry Tramel agreed with me. But this little promotion has picked up a little national attention. Deadspin had something on it today under the headline, “The OKC Thunder fans are adorable, kinda dumb.” Gee thanks! I really thought we were getting past the “Pick on the new guy” phase, but I guess not. I guess I shouldn’t say anything about their poorly worded headline, should I?
Of course, the commenters then took over and tried their hand at seven clever words. And I must say, I wish I could have my vote back. A few favorites:
- “I am suicidal. Please let me win.”
- “Pick me! I’m a man! I’m 40!”
- [insert George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words]
- “Kidnapped in garage. Saw contest. Please help.”
But as you would expect there were some, let’s call them poo-poo heads, that made the typical “Oklahomas iz stoopid!!2!1!” or “You live in Oklahoma!” jokes, but also a few about April 19th. Not cool at all. That’s why a lot of people have issues with Deadspin. Because of crap like that. Oh well. Some people are just… well, poo-poo heads.
But anyway, vote away. I really thought my “Please Blake Griffin Blake Griffin Blake Griffin” had a chance. Guess not.
If you really want to win something like this, you have to submit something that the Thunder PR department doesn't have to work overtime to correct. That department is too busy as it is, to have to issue press releases about why their winner "Is going to punch Stern's nut sack" or will "Show NYC what redneck ballin's all about".
Dylan :
“thanks for passing on kevin durant, portland”
Very well played.
"thanks for passing on kevin durant, portland"
Probably not one that would ever be released to the public, but you have to think that management would give a second look at someone who wrote in, "I am going to cheat the lottery."
my vote would be on “Please Blake Griffin Blake Griffin Blake Griffin” if I had that option.
@Joe
Absolutely. Both those shots were miracles.
Ha ha...classic.
I'm telling ya, Jeff Green needs to be at the Lottery to represent. He is the luckiest Thunder player with that bank shot to beat GSW, and that intentional miss free throw/putback to beat Sacto. He needs to go.
