Yea that first article wasn't even yet aware of the Dodgers turning in the revised info in court today...so that article was just reveling in speculation.

i dont know the exact management structure of any of my favorite sports teams, so i am not concerned with this at all. what, am i supposed to get all worked up because some people i do not know have concerns over something nobody knows anything about? then when these people i don't know give their seal of approval (which we all know they will) i am supposed to be relieved that some changes (of course we will never know what the changes were) were made to something i knew nothing about in the first place?

i'll pass. i would rather just go ahead and sit back and wait for May 1st, then make a thread directed at AugustaGJ, Dodgersangels, and all these other agenda-having posters what happened to all the doom and gloom scenarios about the sale of our team.

He was probably being such a jerk that they left him to fend for himself. why is it that he was the only one that got "attacked" and why is it he is the only one that seemed to have issues with the fans?

you dont have to refresh my memory. you were the same guy on here going on and on about how you didnt think there was ANY way Frank McCourt would end up having to sell.

how'd that great prediction turn out?

exactly. i feel bad for what happened to him, but i dont buy the "poor old completely innocent victim" routine for one second.

Ryan Stone is a modern day martyr is what he is. A life saving paramedic who was brutally & without provocation attacked by an entire hooligan fan base. We should ALL hold our heads in shame for the actions of two felons. I know this because I've been told on several occasions that this is what innocent Giants fans have to face by daring to attend a game at Dodger Stadium.

Neither do I. Getting beat up over talking mess at a game is dumb but then again, so is getting shot for wearing the wrong color in a neighborhood. He used poor judgement. I do hope that he takes McCourt to the cleaners though. Giant fan> Frank McCourt.

I did think it was possible that he could drag out the deal long enough for a new TV Deal to save his skin. It did not work out that way, and I was wrong.

yup, you were. and when may 1 rolls around mark walter will be the new majority owner and threads like these will prove to have been completely pointless; other then you trying to come spread negativity on our board about our situation, of course.

Yes this is the same fan base that cheers for the Raiders, you know, the ones that got shot at the 49ers game. But that was ok, because they were neither paramedics or saints.

And it was one Bay Area resident shooting another. Or was it a stabbing? I forget.

Well at least one person who is still concerned about Byran Stow was willing to point out that what happened in Oakland was equally wrong, and equally tragic.

It was a shooting. I couldn't wait to donate to the friends of this victim of senseless violence or to hold hands together wearing a Raider Jersey and a Niners hat denouncing fan on fan violence. I never got the chance to do so since the name of the victim was not released nor did his family see the opportunity to collect donations in his behalf.

Well can we start a collection for that fan or at least pay for that fan's attorney so that they sue the 49'ers? I swear my opinion will change if it is determined that he this an is a woman beater and a drunk agitator like Brain Stew.

Hey!! You got his name right. I was reading your board a little while back & saw the faithful were still spelling it "Brian" & "Stowe." They care so much tears must have blinded their eyes.

I hope they at least sued for the lack of security.

I personally believe we should be thanking Bryan Stow, look at the chain of events that transpired after getting beat into a coma.

I think Bryan helped get rid of Frank. If the beating did not happen attendance would not have dropped far enough for Frank to borrow payroll from Fox and the spotlight that created. Frank could have hung on until 2014 and received his media package, we could have been stuck with him forever.

Thank You Bryan

It's 'Bryan?' And all this time I thought it was 'Byron.' Thank you Bryan. I hope someday you'll understand how much you helped a team you heckled.

Wow, what a revelation. If he would have just kept quiet, the Dodgers would have remained a 2nd rate franchise under Frank. This rivalry takes so many unexpected twist and turns. People have been slamming Dodger fans all year for this, not knowing that this was actually our liberation from Frank.
