  1. I don't know what any of this has to do with anything. Every sport and team is different. Are there similarities? Of course, but a team like the Seahawks have some common bond and are friends, there are other teams where the offense hates the defense and vice versa, there are other teams where you have the Dolphins bully crap, and other teams where it's just a job for most of the players. And today it's far different than the 60's or 70's or 80's. And for every player it's different. A nobody who never plays and will struggle to just stay above the practice squad or d-league is going to have a far different experience than a guy like RG3 or Lebron or Gretzky or Jeter and so on. And it's like anything in life, the sports locker room and sports teams doesn't suddenly make everybody love one another or be friends. They have their cliques, their buddies, the guys they hang out with and the guys they just play with. And being a good player doesn't make you a good coach or owner. Hell look at Jordan. He pretty much sucks as a GM & Owner. But hey, he was the greatest ever so he should just be great at the next level. He pretty much sucked as a mentor in Wizard land as well. You could say the same thing about many of these guys. It's the same theory for assistants and so on. Some assistants are great OC or DC or what not and suck as head coaches. Other guys are great HC, but weren't the geniuses as OC or DC. I do agree most of the media and reporters are kind of useless, but many of them are actually in half these locker rooms half the time, the ones who are known as 'beat' reporters, so they probably have far more knowledge what a locker room is like than some single A baseball player who last played in 1992. And again, every team is different. If you were on the Met's back in the 80's your dugout was far different than the Red Sox recently who was far different than the Red Sox from 04 who were far different from the Yankees who made Giambi cut his hair and so on. There is some common 'sports' themes that go on, but in general, every damn team and locker room is far different. And it's definitely far more different if you're team is winning or losing. ANd it's far different for the super stars compared to the guys who might rarely play. It's a dumb argument. I mean two players, one who played for Rex and the Jets over the past 5 years will have a far different perspective than somebody who played for BB and the Pats. And both players would be right. Hell, an offensive player on the Jets compared to a Defensive player might have entirely different perspectives as well. That's just life. There is no such thing as some blanket "everything is the same' across the board crap.
