I don't have any funny stories or anecdotes to begin this blog. To tell you the truth, these anecdotes are all too easy to find. Social media, TV, movies, you name it, are littered with stories about the talented "bad boy" or "provocative bad girl" more and more we are seeing highlights (or should I say lowlights) of sideline rants and altercations between athletes and coaches, referees, teammates, the media-- not even fans are immune from the wrath of the undisciplined, self-absorbed athlete.

Now this blog is NOT a really to the "good old days" when athletes were quiet and just did what they were told. The so called “good old days” had its share of knuckleheads too. This is really about a dramatic shift in the cultural or team philosophy that values talent over character.
