SOON TO BE HANGING OUT WITH THE RALLY MONKEY INTERN AND ROBIN FICKER: I know nothing about NBA basketball, except that the Golden State Warriors are very very bad at it. So bad that Paul Wong, the fellow from whom the team lifted their 2006-07 playoff slogan ("We Believe"), has announced he's given up on the team. Apparently, he's unhappy that the team hasn't given him enough recognition for his efforts.
Now, when a fan or low level staffer comes up with something clever, does a team owe them anything? Golden State is terrible with fan relations, but Mr Wong appears to have been more than well-compensated: a trip to Utah for the 2007 second-round games, this level of fame, the love of his fellow fans. Teams aren't going to give these guys a cut of the house's take, of course, but do teams ever get this right?
