[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 919909, member: 5830"] To think that anybody today should treat football the way that it was back 60+ years ago is ludicrous. Players get paid a lot of money to put their physical well being on the line each week. Outside of agents pushing for guaranteed money, there is nothing keeping a team from dumping an injured player with a modest injury settlement. Pride is an inner motivation for some of us, but I will outright say that there are few if any teams that spark pride & dedication due to their actions. They may talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk in the modern NFL. One can only imagine that in the eyes of long time veterans like Rodgers, players get disillusioned with "the business" end of football especially as they mature into their 30s and 40s. They've seen the ugly side of the game, and maybe that pride and dedication that they once possessed fades as the dollars go every which way. I don't begrudge modern players for not having the pride and dedication because it should be a two-way street. Off my soap box. Go Packers. I expect another hard fought game against the Lions. They won't be pushovers and may win. I at least [U]expect[/U] that our team will try harder. [/QUOTE]
