Clay Bennett, the man who led the battle to remove the Sonics from Seattle, has been named "The 2008 Oklahoman of the Year" by Oklahoma Today magazine. Praise and tributes are pouring in on Bennett's behalf, including, we think, this touching video homage to "clay":



Dear Mr Bennett,

some dipshit oklahoman
