<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In honesty, this story has been delayed until we were absolutely sure it wouldn't be refuted or rendered moot. We kept waiting for it not to be true because, well, if you write it and it turns out to be wrong, you end up looking like a schmo, and not the good kind, either. But it's been two months now and nothing has changed. In other words, it's time. Congratulations go out to Warriors owner Chris Cohan for resisting the impulse to jump up and down and become WARRIOR OWNER CHRIS COHAN, DAMN IT. We didn't think after all the beatings he's taken over the years that he had it in him to resist the lure of I-told-you-so publicity now that it's safe to do so, but he remains firmly and defiantly unavailable for comment. This is remarkable given that Cohan has waited 13 years for this moment, now that the Warriors are the hot story in town. He bought a fairly successful team for about 60 percent more than he had to, picked the wrong side twice in the Don Nelson-Chris Webber war, and embarked upon a stretch of competitive and entertainment inertia unmatched by any owner in NBA history. And we in the media and fan base noticed, repeatedly. We have dope-slapped him with marked and well-aimed persistence almost since the day he bought the team 3,098 days ago as the prize at the bottom of a box of lawsuits he hurled at former owners Jim Fitzgerald and Dan Finnane. In those 3,098 days, his team has been above .500 for barely 150 of them, and he has taken his full and deserved helping of abuse for that sub-mediocrity. In fact, he has taken more than that, given that the true low point of his ownership was the 2000 All-Star Game in which he went out with his young son during the game to make a presentation to Michael Jordan and was still booed mercilessly. He already knew he wasn't popular in town before that, but being drilled in front of your own kid and the most popular athlete of his era was pretty much the clincher. So now that the Warriors are nationally relevant again, and even beloved by the fresh-underdog crowd, this would be the time for him to come and say he knew it all along, to credit himself for staying the course, even for settling a few of the 2,464 scores with his media pals. This would be the time for him to take credit and delegate blame. </div> Source: SFGate
f he just admitted to being wrong in the past and apologized I'd forgive him, until that day comes, my userid says it all.
