Yeah, it's football, but I miss the days of Barry Sanders making sick moves and getting into the end zone, only to then simply flip the ball to the nearest official. No hullabaloo.

When I tune in to Mets games now, every time someone hits a home run they begin pointing to the heavens, the dugout and random places all over the stadium as the lights are dramatically lowered for his celebratory rounding of the bases, but it's not over. Then he and his teammates do their well-choreographed, super duper handshaking/fist bumping line dance sort of thing before heading to the dugout for even more displays of adulation...and all of this pageantry is to celebrate a frickin' solo shot when they were LOSING 8 - 0!!!

Please give me back the old days!!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
