subject: Greed

Dave was hit by a Randy Johnson fastball for uttering:
 DN> Actually.. most of it comes from the public, when they phone in to
 DN> sports talk shows..
Dave, it started with the writers and players and this has been going on for 
a lot longer than you might think. I have a quote that I like to trot out 
every once in a while that talks about *modern* players and the kicker is 
that it was written in the 1910s and the guy played before the turn of the 
century. What fans say are nothing more than opening their mouths to lip 
synch the words put into them by the press and the players.
 DN> How about leaving the latter half of that statement alone and just going
 DN> with "Modern players are greedy"?  Do you find fault with that
 DN> statement?
Yes, I find a lot.
