As was said though, it is too bad that everyone ends up getting tarred with the same brush.

No argument from me - I'm certainly no fan of the current owner. I gave up my season tickets in disgust years ago, as did many others. IMHO the owner's micro-management combined with actions of the previous management team under the direction of "trader Bob" all but destroyed the franchise. At least the new management folks appear to be trying, though they've still got a long way to go. Most of the trouble makers they inherited have been gotten rid of, and just a few days ago they suspended Zack Randolph for a game w/o pay for an obscene gesture & comment he made in response to a taunt from a fan - cost him $133k in salary. Patterson's comment was that they're not going to tolerate that kind of behavior from anyone, whether they're #1 or #15 on the roster. Maybe there's hope.............
