But hey, that's just me and I'm an old fashioned kind of guy.

Today's players, being more dynamic, often spike the ball before scoring. It's an in-your-face way of saying - My athletic skills are so far superior to yours that I don't even need this touchdown! I shall disrespect you again later!!

It seems to be rubbing off on other sports. Last night I saw A-Rod hit a home run. After rounding the bases, he stopped about a step short of the plate and walked to the dugout, resulting in an out for his team. Also, Tiger Woods has announced that in an effort to show his superiority over his PGA opponents, he will no longer be putting on the 18th green.

I saw the same thing from the bust brothers hali and Derrick Johnson
