Expectations may have changed, but so has the sport. Winning is everything, entertainment comes second. Having said that, football games have always been good and bad, nothings changd there. When I was younger, every game was great. Maybe it's our attitude that's changed as we get older, rather than the game itself.
Teams can't turn the entertainment on and off as desired, as I said it's sport, not a west end show. It was always that way, wasn't it?
