Nice to hear from you again.
We go back decades, your voice was missed. Don't be a stranger.
3. I can't believe some are pretending that teams like the Browns, Dolphins, etc didn't tank. They most certainly did. I also think that tanking is a huge black eye on professional sports. It compromises the integrity of the game. Teams should be severely punished for tanking. Additionally, think of the athletes themselves. You work your entire life to reach the pinnacle of your chosen profession. You have to be incredibly competitive and you know your time is short in the league. Yet, some brainiacs in suits choose to intentionally lose games. Changes are made and all of a sudden you are out of a job. I have zero respect for anyone who believes that intentionally losing games to improve their draft position is a sound strategy. It's a huge tarnish on the game, much like Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Black Sox.
The minute I finished reading this paragraph, I thought of Joe Thomas:
48 wins.
128 losses.
Zero playoff appearances.
10 Pro Bowls in 11 seasons.
0-16 team record his final year.This was a s#y thing to happen to a first-ballot HOF player.
