This is pretty sick and disturbing if it turns out to be true.

He definately admitted to a pornography problem but didn't admit to what he's accused of.

Not good at embedding links, but here is one from Lost Ogle. This has an excerpt from the affidavit, looks pretty bad.... Plus Lost Ogle wouldn't post a majority of it saying it was that bad..

The Tulsa 66ers PA announcer is his temporary replacement.

they may do is if Tulsa 66ers PA announcer does a good job filling in he may become the new PA Announcer for OKC Thunder.Unless Mr.Miller comes back as the PA which i doubt it

Just the facts

I guess a farm team is for more than just players.

We were wrong it appears, Tydude. Former Houston Rockets PA announcer is going to be the man at the controls.

I am too curious as to how he is going to do. I notice we are one of the few teams that actually plays some kind of music almost every possession, he might not do that and cause the game to boring.

That's what I thought as well but I'm not sure enough to really comment on it.

This is weird. I'm pretty sure this is not the same Jim Miller who was the PA announcer at the OU football and basketball games. They don't look alike but to have two James Millers in a small market might be confusing.

And, it's probably a shame for Norman's Jim Miller, the one who also writes "The Savvy Senior" national advice column with numerous appearances on The Today Show to be confused or mistaken for another announcer with the same name.

It's not the same guy. Two different men but it is weird.

I'm with MDot in not knowing enough to speculate, but I know the Hornets had a pretty extensive sound crew that put together the sound program together, and I assumed that it was a team effort for the Thunder also.

The PA guy does NOT have anything to do with the music

I was given a personal tour of the 'control room' during a season ticket holder appreciation day. They said they have 22 people that work in the room on game day, and they are accountable for everything that goes on. This media room is like up in the rafters of the arena. I remember that they said they have to account for every second from start to finish, an hour and a half before tipoff and until they shut it down. fwiw.

I would love to visit that room,
Is the rafters part up in loud city?
