Excellent article and very well said Bob! I think it captures how a lot of fans feel. I have never understood why you can't criticize 18 to 24 year old men. I promise you, and after 30 years in the military, these young adults are very capable of coping with hardship either mental or physical. Embrace the "suck" because life can "suck" at times. At least they were paid way better for less sacrifice.

Bravo! Nailed it on all accounts.

Can't just focus on the end of the season's performance. There's a reason you play the ENTIRE SEASON. And whether you lose by a possession or 20, it's still a loss. Last I checked, wins were what teams touted for their success, not close losses.

Bingo on getting paid and getting off the social media. As philosopher Peter Parker said, "with great power comes great responsibility". You want the money, there's more that comes with that. And there's a reason depression and loneliness is skyrocketing statistically these days. Folks choose to live in the prison cells of their screens. Shut it off, and as the kids say "touch grass".
