I know there is no hope for either team for the next year or two but at least in the case of the Raiders I see light at the end of the tunnel as they cut overpriced players, get out of salary cap hell, and rebuild. Flames are still in the Al Davis mold of not accepting their fate and trying win while failing miserably. Like Al Davis the Flames ownership's mantra of 'win now' will die and the inevitable will follow. It's just going to take that much longer for the Flames to be relevant again but again as a fan all you can do is sit on your hands and patiently wait.
The Stampeders are the only team I follow that provides me any sort of competitive chance at winning anything so at least part of the year I feel I'm cheering for a winner.
