Hornets should stay put
Hornets owner George Shinn said yesterday that his team should play in Oklahoma City, instead of hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, next season. This is a good idea.
We'd all love to see the Big Easy fully return to life as usual, but that's not going to happen overnight. The damage from the hurricane -- we also can't forget the bungled government response -- has to be worse than we could even imagine. I know that's easy to say from my living room in upstate New York.
Hopefully, the team will return to full-time play in New Orleans. That city just isn't ready for it yet. I know I'd hate to see Shinn take advantage of the situation by making a cash grab by moving the team to another area.
