Bennett was grilled by the city&apos;s attorney Paul Lawrence about the infamous email exchange where Bennett told his co-owners that he was &quot;a man possessed.&quot; (The e-mails seemed to make it clear that Bennett was angling to move the team to Oklahoma City all along): &quot;Is there any way to move here [Oklahoma City] for next season or are we doomed to have another lame duck season in Seattle?&quot; Ward wrote. Bennett replied: &quot;I am a man possessed!...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I wouldn't be too worried at Team Bennett's objections being sustained.</p>

<p>Sometimes a Judge just wants to create a clean record, giving the losing side as few opportunities/issues for appeal as possible.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Will in Seattle</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>See, this is why Sen John McCain doesn't use computers or email.</p>

<p>No email, no computers - no trap.</p>

<p>It's not like anyone will bust through the private security his beer baroness wife has to YouTube him betraying America.</p>

<p>As to the arena ... personally, any baseball team that whines about the state of their arena needs their heads replaced - the winning Olympic teams this year practice in high school gymnasiums one-tenth the size, and have personal gyms that smell like old sweatsocks.</p>

<p>The Sonics, quite frankly, just suck.</p>

<p>Big time.</p>

<p>If they didn't, they'd have no problems with ad revenues or admissions or restaurant/bar splits.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>It's a bench trial, not a jury trial.  </p>

<p>The judge doesn't particularly have to sustain any evidentiary objections at all, as she's already the arbiter of what's relevant or not.  </p>]]></description>
