[QUOTE="Croak, post: 383009, member: 2367"] Lombardi and Hornung went at it regularly. Lombardi chewed him out and fined him profusely and at least one time ask him what other team he wanted to play for if he didn't shape up. Lombardi's values also included confession and forgiveness. Hornung owned up to his foul and then went about doing sincere public "penance". Lombardi accepted that, but didn't take his foot off of Hornung's neck so to speak. He rode him hard. As I said, I believe Lombardi would have had a strong discussion with Neal regarding his comments. He would have gone ballistic over CJ2K. If players had a problem with their contract Lombardi wasn't slow to offer to send them to some other team. Since we're on the subject of confession, I will confess that I have generalized a generation. That generalization is based on my own observation as an employer (now retired) and one who has been around a while. As an employer I saw a generation that didn't feel it had to work hard for much and felt everything was owed them, because so much had been given to them growing up and with little cost to themselves. However, I will confess that not everyone in your generation is hedonistic. Yet, many are. As a poor example, but a reflection nonetheless, compare what TV censors will allow today compared to what was permitted in the earlier days of Television. Compare the values espoused in today's TV programs to the values espoused in the earlier days of Television. There is a stark difference. Yes it is only Hollywood, but pop culture is one indicator of the generations values. My sons were taught manners and honor. So I have generalized them in a generation as well. Yet, they are all responsible adults now. However, my sons will also tell you they are more the exception than the rule among their peers. I would assert that if you do indeed hold doors and act with manners, and volunteer, then you are also more the exception. Industry studies have shown that the largest percentage of volunteers today come from the older generation. The 20 somethings are largely missing from a lot of charitable activity. Yes there are some younger folks volunteering as Firefighters and EMTs, yet you also have probably seen how hard it is becoming to keep a volunteer fire company running. The lack of sufficient volunteers is a piece of that puzzle. Thus more "professional" emergency services are supplanting the volunteer services. I should get off of my stump. My wife sometimes warns me not to become one of those crotchety old geezers. (Because this discussion is a tune I sing at home from time to time.) After all these years she still knows me too well.
