I have always LOVED the juice! The adrenalin that comes with....competing.
I honestly cannot understand the concept of .....being flat?
My God, these guys compete at the highest level on earth. How can there be a problem "getting up for a game"???
I don't get that...........

Becasue to you it is a passion to them it has now become their jobs and for most the J.O.B. doesn't create much passion.

You may be right, but.....I cannot believe that. Every one of these guys has MANY years invested prior to becoming a pro that they played with a level of passion for the game I cannot even understand. It's difficult for me to believe you can just turn that off.

I don't think they turn it off more like go through the motions. Plus back to the job and feeding your family theory are you really going to go balls to the wall knowing you might hurt yourself in a meaningless game, thus maybe jeopordzing (sp) your career.
