I\'d like to hear more NFL old timers say something like: "Aww, man. These players today. They are so much faster and more athletic. I had some great times and did some good things when I played, but the game today,...whooo-eee. I\'d never see the field."
Instead we usually get: " What a bunch of crap the game is. Spoiled kids who don\'t even know what mud is! How can you have a championship game with freezing rain and mud? Don\'t even get me started on the pansies who play only one way. 25-30 plays a game! That\'s not football. We used to beat the crap out these kids in gym class just on general principle! The whole world and America are going to hell and its because of the wussy football!"
P.S. Â Actually we are lucky to hear any of them still talking, I guess. Â The brain damage that is emerging as an ever-more-common normal wear and tear of pro football. Â I guess we\'re lucky Bednarik is still with us. Â Hope he feels lucky, too.
