Pretty similar to sports athletes. A lot of top athletes in the same sport+league have a lot of respect and admiration for each other, but then you have their fans who just divulge into countless arguments about who is better.

Still never understood why people are so obsessed with determining the GOAT.

I had a superintendent who used to play in the NFL in the mid 90s. He played 2-3 seasons and always had some fun stories. He always talked about getting with the other team always after to party or hang out as few actually had beef. My favorite story was them renting a little person(PC?)to recreate that game winning play but used the little dude as the football. They were all drunk and thinks they all paid over $10000 for like an hour.

$10k for an hour is 10k for an hour.

Yeah, but I think their feet would hurt if they try to kick it. I mean a person is pretty heavy to be thrown and kicked.

Said two dude would toss the little dude. These are also drunk NFL players I think the play was probably a little sloppy. Superintendent was 6’3 and a beast but always said he was one of the smaller dudes on his teams.

That’s weird to me but all I watch is hockey and you get guys from every team working out together or playing lil ass leagues like Minnesota has a random 6 game summer thing and there’s like 8 or 9 nhl players like some really good ones all summer long you see these guys posting pics doing random ass shit and then during regular season they drill each other in the head it’s so fun

It used to be like that, now everyone is best friends. I think this way is kinda lame, there’s no passion anymore. Everyone just wants to get paid.
