x2. I've already scaled back over the last couple years, and it wasn't really a conscious decision. My interest level in waning. I've been as die hard as anyone for 25 years, but there's only so many times you can bash your head into a brick wall before realizing that bashing your head isn't much fun, and the next bash isn't going to be "the one".
This front office just doesn't "get it" and/or they're content with having a cash cow that they will milk for every drop. I know it's bad when I'm even jaded about the (possible) resignation of Marvin. For one, it shouldn't be a resignation, and two, I'm dreading the announcement of an internal promotion. No one on the current staff is even close to being a worthy candidate and we desperately need a fresh slate, yet I almost know Mike Brown will take the lazy/cheap route.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
