I agree 100%,, boy I miss the good ole days of the skins, that you mentioned,, Alas...
BTW I ran into our arch enemy Charlie Waters (Cowboys), and we had a nice chat, he agrees, football ain’t football anymore, said
“we played the game, because we loved the game, now it’s all bout the money”
Back in the day before players switched teams every few years, teams genuinely hated each other. Redskins and Cowboy players literally hated each other, the “wreath incident” immediately comes to mind.
Nowadays it’s hard to get too worked up against a team, that for all you know you could be playing for next season.
