Being the heretic that I am, I was kind of hoping that the strike would carry on a couple more seasons. I can't believe this.

Last year both the owners' and players' groups told the fans in no uncertain terms that the fans could go suck mud at the bottom of the priority list. And here was are again, fans screaming and lining up for more, saying to both groups, "Sure, go ahead, crap all over me. I love it. I'll even pay for the privilege."

No thanks. I got along just fine last year without them.
