Nobodies watching anymore anyway. Hockey fans are fair weather. All of sports is becoming obnoxious. Big fat ballplayers pumping juice by the quart. Four hour football games with 1000 commercial breaks. Quarterbacks who get sick all the time. The rise of the Slam-Dunk Nation. Watch films of the old Knicks and see; Passing; Help Side Defense; Shooting; Ball Handling. Little things called fundamentals. Now we create 12 yr. old phenoms that know nothing of the game except the slam. Anybody have kids in sports? See what is involved at the 13 yr. old level??? 2800$ for a summer tournament league for 12 yr. olds. There is now in Virginia a baseball high school that costs 50k to attend. And that is only tuition, there are private lessons at 70$ per hr. and so on. Funny how the NBA superstars were trounced at the Olympics by largely unknowns playing simple post-up ball. I swear I am going to start watching Rugby; thats a game!
