16 years building for the future! I guess one more won't make much difference.

Any preliminary thoughts on the team? I may be interested in seasons tix to watch Brett but not if the season is like ones in recent years.

If they do not do better this year, playing wise, and attendence wise, then they may as well fold their tents and move on.

To start their first game against Vancouver could be considered as cruel and unusual punishment.

The only way this team will improve is if Dallas gets sacked. Anyone else with his record would have been gone long ago.
