Hockey huh?

Hey, let me ask you then...

How many players on YOUR team, have been there 4 yrs or longer? How many players are born, or went to high school within 300 miles of YOUR stadium? How many of YOUR players, do not take PEDs?...are you sure? Are you sure the Refs, are on the up and up? Don’t you feel manipulated by watching all those TV commercials while you watch YOUR team?

Sorry, didn’t mean to pick on you. I just had an awakening a few years back. Genuinely interested in your response.

How many NFL players don’t make it past 3 years in the league due to injury and how many because they play one year and then fail to make a team? The better players seem to have plenty long careers to me. I more than half suspect that shortened career stat is a union contrivance and not one of legitimate injury.
As to how many players grew up within 300 miles i have to ask what sort of question is that? The discussion is NFL not college. Why pick 300?
If PEDS are your concern then you can quit watching football as i stopped watching baseball a decade ago.
Are the refs on the up and up? What does that have to do with anything? Is that a serious question when comparing the merits of 2 sports?
I don’t wish to pick on you but you see most of your response added nothing to the conversation and seems to have more to do with your hangups over YOUR local team than anything else.
