Fanboy

I know. I'm going to be Fanboy here for a bit. Indulge me.

But really, how is it possible that a team with a proud and truly great history can come to this point? The team of Shula, Csonka, Marino, Griese, and the one and only undefeated season is now left by Nick Saban after two years?

I want Shula back. I never wanted him gone to begin with. He was football greatness personified - like Butkus or Lombardi or Montana or Unitas. Saban? He crabbed at the media for daring to question him about his plans and then split a week later. And I don't begrudge anyone for leaving for a better offer, but criticizing the media for asking you about it and then leaving is pretty lame.

Ugh. It has been a long and difficult year for my football teams. Again, I say ugh.

I would suggest that as a Californian, there may be better sport's fan decision than following sad teams from 3,000+ miles away. That said, there may be a better decision than for me to be following a sad team that is 3 miles away. My team this year will be the most expensive mediocre team of all time. My team will actually find a way to TIE half of their games. Heretofore this has been an impossibility due to the rules of baseball. However, I am convinced that the Cubs will end up at 40-40-81. I'm assuming they'll have one rainout.
