Forget New York… Give us your tired, your poor (shooters), Your befuddled passers yearning to be injury-free, Because here they can be DP!
The very best team that a salary cap on a reduced-budget thrift-conscious expense-cutting savings regimen can provide.
How about we go short and to the point. We Suck! or maybe Angry abused fans unite! GO Quakes!! - Mark
Winners: Zero on the Richter Scale or Loyal to a Fault ...imagine the merchandising the fans could do!
We're shit. Or maybe: Fire Kinnear!! I think we need something really appallingly negative. We need to express just how pissed off we are and how little faith we have in the FO figuring out what to do about our massive suckitude. Loyal to a fault is cute, but it implies that we'll take as much shit as they can shovel. I think I hear the earthmovers revving up. Our achievements on the field are completely unacceptable. No self-respecting organization can tolerate this, but that's what we're doing. Go Quakes!! - Mark

There are at least 3 interpretations of "Loyal to a fault". That's what makes it good. You've only mentioned the most obvious, superficial one (#1). 1) You are too loyal to the extent that it is a negative personality trait 2) You are loyal to something that is faulty. 3) You are loyal to the San Jose Earthquakes (referenced by the word "fault") 2 and 3 sort of blend together to make the connection more compelling, i.e. if it was something not "earthquake" related, then "fault" would not have that double meaning, and the word would not draw attention the way it does in this context.
Yes, actually I was aware of those permutations, but good u documented them! Still, I suspect we here are on BS are a combo of all three interpretations.
