I remember a quote from a wrestler who quoted another wrestler (forgot both their names) that went something like, "We used to pretend to hurt each other and people thought it was real. Now we really hurt each other and people think it's fake."

Don't forget that between 1980 and 1989, only 2 teams from the West and 3 teams from the East went to the Finals.

Of course the game has changed since the 90s, it's always changing. It's always changing. Also, the SAME teams have always been going to the Finals over and over. Between 1957 and 1969, the Celtics went to the Finals 12 times and won 11, including 8 in a row. They also only played against 3 different teams in those 13…

The conversation with Bryant went like this:

Just as much fighting in the 70s

I saw him wrestle at a county fair (I think) near Winchester, VA 25 years ago, so this fall has been happening for a loooooooong time.

Duckworth was also part of the 1996-97 LA Clippers, where all this happened (per wikipedia):

That. Just. Sucks. So. Hard.

Don't forget all the YouTube videos that prove it too.

Aikman had a Hall of Fame running back, Hall of Fame receiver, a great line, and great defense. Plus, Norv had to dumb down the playbook for him.

You've got the eye of the tiger, sir. +1

I thought that Lynch was going to be a cap casualty because of Wilson's new contract. Makes sense that they didn't want Lynch getting the game winning TD to be the last thing people remember when he's cut.

WOOOOOO!

Ah yes, "defiantly social anxiety disorder", he gets nervous in public plus is very aggressive about it too.

I worded that wrong. It's not a lifetime ban. A DUI conviction will result in probation and you're not allowed to drink during that time period.

In most states, if you get convicted of a DUI, you're banned from drinking alcohol by the state. Alcohol is legal to drink as long as you don't fuck up.

I think it goes towards what Barry said, "Quarterbacks are understandably particular about the feel of their footballs, and teams seem to have an unspoken agreement to respect each other's freedom to squeeze and scuff and shine their own balls to their preference, as long as it stays within the bounds of decency.…

Is this the same type of rehab, where a celebrity does/says something stupid while apparently sober then goes to rehab to treat whatever the problem was?

It seems that the people most upset by change in sports and the loss of "tradition" are the ones who will suffer the greatest financial loss due to the change and their sportswriter propaganda flunkies.
