Yeah, well, looks like we're here.
Since the team's sudden down-swing there's been renewed talk about how this organization is ran. Some suggest that if Mike were no longer in the picture that things would improve, that it's his pulling strings behind the scenes that keeps us down. But, I feel it's already too late for that. His death will mean nothing in the way of change for this organization because Katie knows the blueprint all too well at this point. All she has to do is field a team that's competitive for a spell every now and again, and the fans will stay faithful, buying tickets and merchandise and keeping the family's coffers full. Paul left them an idiot-proof license to print money, and generations of this family are going to what's just necessary enough to be able to keep doing precisely that. So, we can either accept that reality and go root for another team, perhaps one with an owner committed to moving heaven and earth for a championship, or we can acknowledge our fate as fans of this organization and just enjoy the times when the team enjoys some occasional success. I guess I've chosen the latter.
