Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Geoff Baker doesn’t hold an ounce of credibility with any intelligent sports fan in Seattle. What a shame his name should besmirch this otherwise respectable website.
Unfortunately, I tend to agree. I am conflicted as all get out!
With all respect, a comment such as your distances you from intelligent sports fans, and just intelligent people in general.
I say so because as an intelligent fan of Seattle sports, you do not speak for me. I say so because such a statement is easily dismissed as not accurate and that of one who has difficulty expressing themselves in a positive way.
Baker is an idiot. His theory that teams don’t need to have budgets and should spend whatever is necessary to put a winning team on the field, regardless of their revenue stream is just idiocy.
