I get so perturbed at these announcers praising a 50 point game in NBA now,hell you can't look at someone without being called for a foul,and geesh if you foul it's questioned and reviewed looking for a flagrant bunch of damn pansies.I didn't like Jordan but hell he would average 50 a game with these rules

Maybe it's because I was raised in a Military family but whatever happened to tough love,these days kids are babied and pampered in all aspects especially in sports.My daughter and Son both grown laugh about how they thought I was a ******* growing up but now they realize that's what they needed to survive in real world.
