As long-time Clipper fans, we've been here before, so this ain't the end of the world. It's just another reason to get pissed-off til the next season starts. At that time, we'll all fall back in line for more kool-aid to drink. Because as followers, that's what we do.

Enjoy the weather NO. For all the good moves you made this year, this was a BAD equalizer.
