It's cool that you got to see a game where the players actually wanted to play for fun and enjoyed doing it. That's how sports should be. Not all this crap about how much can they squeeze for a paycheck and then bitch because instead of a 7 million dollar contract, they got 5 million.

Whatever happened to playing the sport for the love of the game? Some athletes just got way too damn greedy and lost focus on what the game is really about. Sure, these professional athletes deserve paychecks, but they should also have to earn them. They can cap the earnings at a reasonable amount. The athletes make so much more money off of endorsements and other business ventures, it's just some of these guys got way too damn greedy.
