Trash talking in sports, what the immature call swagger, is eroding at the integrity of the game.

There was a time, long before my own, when sportsmanship meant something and was appreciated by the fans. Today its the guy who openly attempts to belittle his opponent that gets the positive attention.

Its sad but the stupid have come to define America in recent years.

There's been trash talking in sports since the beginning of sports. It will never go away. I did it, the people before me do it, the people after me did it, and the people after TM7 will do it.

You aren't suiting up to sing choir. You're suiting up to kick arse.

I guess Larry Bird, Micheal Jordan, Dick Butkus, Mean Joe Green, Ty Cobb, Dizzy Dean,etc. all those guys have been eroding the integrity of the game since the beginning of the game. Some of you are real pussies.

This 1000%. I'm tired of the mugging, the arrogance, the childish "look at me" attitude that athletes display today. Humility and quiet pride will never go out of fashion.
