"Another reason I still prefer hockey."

I wanted to give up on football when Jones took over our team, but he did win three SBs, but now the Cowboys suck. And I loved it when the Stars won the Cup, but now they suck too.

I think I'm a UFC fan now, even though they quit having no time limits. There used to be two rules: no biting and no gouging of eyes. Long live Royce Gracie, 6'1" and 170 pounds, a bad SOB in his day. Now there are rules about no beating down yer opponent if a knee is on the mat. They make the fighters stand up after being in a clinch for a couple of minutes or so. You can tap out if you are choking. I just hope the UFC never goes so sissified, but you never know.

Hockey huh?

Hey, let me ask you then...

How many players on YOUR team, have been there 4 yrs or longer? How many players are born, or went to high school within 300 miles of YOUR stadium? How many of YOUR players, do not take PEDs?...are you sure? Are you sure the Refs, are on the up and up? Don’t you feel manipulated by watching all those TV commercials while you watch YOUR team?

Sorry, didn’t mean to pick on you. I just had an awakening a few years back. Genuinely interested in your response.
