I may be forty years behind the times. It just simply may not matter today, as much (look at the Cavs...or most NBA teams, for that matter). The low draft picks and F.A.'s who make the team get pretty good money, and aren't moonlighting during the season to feed their families.
F.E. is a cheap gimmick whose fifteen minutes ran out when Mo Lewis knocked Drew out of the game.
But, look at the teams we especially hate and, are irritated that we're still tied with or behind in SB wins: GB, Dallas, SF, Pittsburgh-logos unchanged since 1963. It screams to fans who cheered as hard as we could through the sixties, seventies, eighties and early nineties, "Tough. You'll never see your team beat their rivals, and win titles. Go away."
