...schemed to dump the team's popular coach. Last May he sat in his Jeep making calls as 1,500 fans--many of them children let out of school early--gathered a block away for a Sabres pep rally.

...after a while, I kind of did find their warped sense of community appealing. Not the part where they showed each other snapshots they took of upcoming Yoda Pepsi cans, but the part where they played Trivial Pursuit on the sidewalk, wrote "Fan of the Day" stories about each other for the website and held a dating-game contest. It was like a freshman dorm at a college where somebody in admissions misplaced the women's applications...
