Take me back to the “ old days “ when THE GAME came first.

When was that?

Yet you cared enough to read this thread and post that you didn't care.

I always find it curious that people post on a subject that they have no interest in.

What's the point?

It’s ALL about money these days

One of the all time famous retorts occurred when Babe Ruth had just signed a contract for more money then the President makes. When asked, his response was:

"So how many home runs did the President hit last year?"

It has been about the money since the days that they first charged people to walk through the turnstile.

I agree completely with that observation. Near where I live, the NHL's Nashville Predators are now "rebuilding" because management no longer wanted to pay the large salaries of the team's talented veterans; so it traded them instead.

College sports (and even high-school sports) are steeped in team spirit and enthusiasm. Any type of sports not steeped in team spirit and enthusiasm is, well, irrelevant to my interests.
