Generally speaking, I try to remain positive. It’s kind of integral to being a lover of this franchise, unless one is just into self-torture. Most of the rest of us cling to the notion, no matter how practically unlikely it is, that one day we will stop being the armpit of professional sports and actually be, you know, competitive.
Thus, while the rest of the league laughs in caricaturist ‘LOLBrowns’ fashion at pretty much whatever we do (for good reason), those of us left still holding out the faintest of hopes take moves like the firing of Sashi Brown and subsequent hiring of John Dorsey to replace him last month very seriously, and try to glean some sort of meaning from it all, to be able to see, however invisible, a path that can lead us from where we are (and have been for a long, long time) to somewhere better.
