But they lost. Their dynasty may be coming to an end. Let me know when your team gets to the finals.

But, rube, being a fan of my local sports franchises does not mean my life revolves around them. Hell, the Giants finished at .500 and the 49ers are 9-4.

My self-esteem is not dependent on their records.

Understand that the local sports businesses have accounted for 3 World Series trophies (4 appearances). The 49ers have 5 SB trophies (8 appearances). The Warriors have 5 championships since moving here.

The Raiders won 2 SB here.

I can put this loss to "your" NBA team in perspective.

I have been to many parades.

I have other interests besides local sports.
