I know one difference between now and then. Back in the day, I would be real pumped for basketball, if the US lost, I would have been devastated. Now I actually hope they lose. It was better when we had the amateurs, even if we didn’t always win.

Amen to that Brother Gator!

Don't watch the tat-emblazoned, piercing-festooned, dunk-show-boating-like-they-just-saved-the-village-from-a-rogue-elephant NBA thugs any other time so why start now except to watch them crash and burn.

I actually believe that it should be all athletes. This is a stage to see who is the best overall athlete in their respective event. Why put an age limit on it? If your good enought to qualify as a 40 year old, then why can’t you?
