Though, it is a nice example of why I think I can guess your opinion. Doc, You have a pretty consistent penchant for interspersing your worldview with sports commentary, or is it vice versa? If you're sincerely wondering why i could be so bold to assume your opinion...it's because *you* tend to share it. A lot. At the risk of taking the wind out of your sails, I'm neither trolling you nor am I some pinko liberal. Sorry. Actually, I'm a little disappointed that you so eagerly went down this path, because it means your hearing things i'm not saying. I didn't mean to touch a nerve, I get that you're a bit of a minority up here but you're tilting at windmills on this one. The moneyed parasite line was only in reference to Argyros running the team on a shoestring budget. A guy who when he wasn't threatening to move the team was shaking down the city for more money...money that never went back into the team. By all accounts he was a miserly puke whatever his political affiliation may have been. My automatic loyalty was simply to the team and the city. Getting back to your line about "correctness", I didn't say it was disingenuous because you didn't agree with me, I said it because the argument didn't agree with *you*. You've spent a good portion of this year making an argument (and gustily chiding Cameron's band of sycophant Eeyores, which I love!) for going for the 1-game playoff if need be, the value of winning and the honor in even the attempt. If you love the sports how could watering down the quality of play or the quality of the eventual champion be a good or correct thing? Why not play a 40 game schedule if "correct" is such a empty idea? No, I'll happily stay on the side that doesn't have profit and avarice shading things and just desires good football and a title holder decided by skill not luck. P.S.-You ever notice how the phrase "class warfare" only gets bandied about when the rich think they might not get their typical share? Hopefully me noticing that obvious peculiarity doesn't get me put on a your secret list of Fellow Travelers. I know how hard you try to avoid politics. ; ) Cheers.
