Since @JeffPassan posted this in September 2012, the Dodgers have won 12 of 14 division titles, been to 5 World Series - winning 3, and are arguably now the most powerful ballclub in the history of baseball. An absolutely incredible turnaround.
Remember when Dodgers were the butt of the jokes at 2011 ESPYs, how no one cared they got cheated of a title in 2017? How 2020 didn’t count? A Mickey Mouse ring. How they always will choke in the playoffs. Now who is laughing. All that laughing has turned into crying 😭
Less than 15 years ago, Frank McCourt filed for bankruptcy and opposing fans were making Chapter 11 Dodgers jerseys. If anything, the Dodgers represent the true rags to riches story that all of us Americans love and value. A true comeback story.
Yes, the Raiders had their issues before Pete got there, but he made it worse (one of those things, appointing his son as an O-line coach).
Also, look at Pete's last few years with the Seahawks. He was already on the decline as a head coach.
"I can't imagine a better way to go out than to pop bottles with this group... BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS!"
