Damn good question

It is something that I miss as well.  But I feel that "quite" trash
talking has always been a part of gamesmanship.  It is just that it can
be done in a way that is not offensive.  I remember the football scenes
in the movie MASH.  What I think has really taken some of the
sportsmanship is the celebration stuff.  I watched Barry (sp?) Sanders
on Thursday.  He was classy and John Madden commented on that as well.
Just doing his job.

What I read about Walker hanging on the rim and getting a t, then
exchanging words with Pitino illustrates a problem with sportsmanship.
Why was he showing out when his team is losing?  He deserved to take a
seat.

A good point.
