Thank god we never had good will to fritter away in Oakland.

But there was!

Not since the Haas family sold the team. The statute of limitations has run on that.

There’s no statute of limitations on fandom.

Perhaps, but surely Al Davis’s return was more than sufficient to extinguish it.

I can’t say more bc of atty-client privilege (I represented the Coliseum Authority) but Oakland made a lot of bad decisions for years.

I was just thinking about that today, believe it or not. It’s heartbreaking.

Truly heartbreaking

I don’t expect anyone to weep for Boston fans … but FSG seems to be following a similar playbook. They seem to think fans will continue to flock to “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark” even if they continue to strive for sustainable mediocrity. We’ll see how the seats fill (or don’t) this summah.
