1:57 "I thought my 2nd basemen hitting 45 homeruns was normal?" 100% talking about Bret Boone and Jeff Kent 2000-2003 out of nowhere in their 30's.
Jeff Kent was the man
Came to the comments to see if anyone else thought that
I was born in 1973 so I began playing hockey in 1978. My daughter played hockey from 2013 until 2019 and I could not believe how much different it is now
Yeah, now men who pretend to be woman can play with/against them.
@@pla6ue I dont think that's the point he's making
The fast and furious 😂
What's your favourite sport? 🤔 Is this phenomenon happening there as well? 👇
PUSSYCAT I got a Good 10 Bodies Right now The Goal is 500,000 🤗 Wish me Luck
100%!! It's been happening in Rugby Union for decades... the players get bigger, stronger and faster, yet the game gets softer! Rules constantly changed to take the old skool brutal physicality out of the contest (in the tackle, at the breakdown, rucks, mauls etc!) - and the players are far less likely to use dirty tactics orb properly fight now, because there are so many cameras everywhere and you can't get away with anything (plus the financial punishments are massive when caught!)
Hypocrisy is my favorite sport.
@@davideaston8314 I love American football but rugby is more like the American football that I loved watching when I was growing up now
Mma is still pretty brutal. I'll take it over everything else
Remember that these players are much MUCH larger than in the 80s and 90s when the game was more balanced between run/pass, offense&defense. In the AIkmen/Smith era, they had a HUGE offensive line with guys at 280 to 300 pounds. Nowadays, that's the LOW END of linemen weight. You watch kids on Alabama's line, you will see that they are already wearing knee braces because they're too heavy for human joints! These sized-people ended the 2000 yard rushing season. Terrell Davis was the last one, and that was 20 years ago.
Theres a huge difference in even early 90s sports and now. The NBA is unrecognizable. Its like they saw Jordan dominating a tough game and decided to change the rules to let everyone become MJ
Men are softer and the rules are softer...
They needed the whole league to break MJs record
even jordan himself was allowed to travel and carry compared to the previous generation.(because he was so popular) shaq was allowed to charge so much, he wouldve fouled out before he got to 8 points if he played before the merger. how bad has it gotten now ? well james harden hasnt had 1 legal dribble in his career, and the best player of the generation doesnt handle the ball legally either. and young people seem to think lebron is the best of them all. it all comes back to nike sales, getting you positive press coverage. brady isnt really the only good choice for top qb, jeter isnt the best shortstop, jordan and lebron arent the only 2 names in the goat debate, and kobe simply isnt a top 25 player by any means.
They actually changed the rules so MJ could dominate and fizzle teams like the bad boys out
As a 57 year old am I the only one who remembers that MVP chant started with Jordan at the free throw line practically the entire game? Basketball got soft in the middle of the nba switching from not wanting the bulls to win to wanting them to. Let’s not act like the entire Jordan era was tough. It changed FOR Jordan.
Ahhhh the ray Lewis era lol back when recievers, and running backs would run outta bounds to avoid a huge hit not just basic contact 😅
It's happened in basketball as well. I'm not impressed when people have 30 or 40 point games. They've made it almost illegal to play defense. People nowadays go to the hole with moves that were considered offensive fouls in the 80s and 90s. Everyone shoots threes because nerds said that that was the way to score more points. And defenders are handicapped because the ball handlers can carry the ball with one hand under it causing a timing issue when gathering for a shot.
Beat me to it. It makes me laugh when people say Lebron is anywhere near Jordan....let alone better. I also laugh when these guys take 5 steps to the hoop for a dunk....in which defenders basically aren't allowed to touch them... and then scream, flex and punch their chest like they just did something amazing.
@Jolly Roger well wrestling was changing every 3 years for a while there. It kind of took away some of the integrity and history of the sport
@@Abruzzo333 lebron iz playing in a era where he is limited he can't use all of his physicality that's why he has to flop. Offenses also evolved. Players are more skilled know
How are players more skilled when nobody plays DEFENSE?!?!?!
@@mahamedjmal2536 Lebron is playing in an era where he can run his shoulder into a defender's chest when he drives the lane and it's called a blocking foul, a shooting foul, or it isn't called at all. He probably flops because he's strong enough to not need a foul called for him to finish at the rim, but he wants those calls anyway.
I knew I had issues when Jack Tatum was my hero😎
To be fair, CTE wasn’t as much of a thing back then as it is now. Whether or not the NFL knew about how devastating repeated concussions could be is questionable, but now the public knows.
I hate this argument. Calling a flag for barely grabbing a jersey 6 yards down field does not protect player safety, it's just designed to help the offense score.
The only thing Bill isn't accounting for is the NFL's need to counter the effects of PEDs on the sport. 60 years ago it WASN'T like getting run over by a Mack truck being tackled by every 3rd string cornerback in the game back then. Now, they've all needled themselves into 225 lb. mega-beasts running a 4.3 sec 40. The GREATS of yesteryear would hit "average" next to today's chemistry experiment that is the professional American football player, and the QBs, RBs, and WRs--as well as all the O Linemen--DO need some measure of protection from these lab experiments in uniform.
The testing in the NFL is a joke. You would think it would be a bigger issue, but the average fan is so ignorant to PEDs
Agree with Bill Burr completely!
Thumbs up for using f is for family for the hockey 😂
don't let gen-z basketball fans hear this they believe were watching the best era
you must be gen z, you have a man you hate as you pfp😂 nobody above the age 15 does that
Skill wise def. We however need to adjust the rules defense wise so its more balanced IMO. Handchecking would be nice and then you go from 124-140 games to 101-104 and its more interesting.
@@tindobranic4791 lol... "defense".
@@pla6ue there is defense still being played but its literally impossible when 7 footers are doing spin moves to fade away jumpers from the 3.. you cant guard that shit.
@@tindobranic4791 No, there is no defense
Of course they led the defensive highlight reel with "Bam Bam" Kam Chancellor -- Go 'Hawks.
That's why my favorite sport has become boxing... At least its still competitive and you have to be tough
So true. Guys in the NFL used to break body parts and still finish the game.....for peanuts. Today they get 10 million per year and won't play if their nose itches. In highschool, our coach would give us each 2 beers before a game, then pay us $20 a head for each opponent we could send to the bench.
Wasn't the mob fixing boxing matches for like 80 years?
Also boxing is a joke now, you got jake paul and other youtubers considered as "boxers".
Definitely tough, so tough. 🤣
MMA is better than boxing IMO.
Ever watched rugby?
2:38 Holy SHIT
NFL has a reason if you watch Disposable Hero's you'd understand why the NFL isn't as physical as the 70s, 80s, 90s & early 2000s.
@Internet Viewer my dad is a vegetable he went to play a sport to get through school in the 70s I don’t think at 20 he knew the long term side affects of concussions until later, also the nfl would deny the existence of concussions..
@Internet Viewer bet you never played a single down
@@cacapeepeepoopoohead1632 bet you’ve never been offered 10 million bucks
This is all true. All physical sports are no longer physical. Take the NBA, watch a classic bulls vs pistons game and compare the physicality to a modern game and it's crazy
Was just about to post this. That’s why I quit watching, they are literally a bunch of girls that cry if you even touch them. Compared to a ‘98 Trailblazers 99% of the current NBA are crybabies.
NHL is still very physical
Ufc
the offences evolved and players now are more skilled
@@tylerberg4832 i lost my sh*t when i found out professional fighting was a thing. Best sport ever
Interesting. I wonder if this is why the MLS is growing in the US.
Never talk sports with non sports fans a major waste of time😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
they been doing the same shit with video games trying to get the casuals involved and gaming is a different beast now
Actually yeah, I suspect that has at least something to do with good single player campaigns missing from most games now
@@kurtwagner350 that's why I only play sports games online h2h
It's weird. He is completely wrong but I sill like hearing him say it
He was 100% on point.
@@bradleyknowell1625 👍🏻
but it could be because of how much money they gave away from lawsuits about cte
@@bradleyknowell1625 Just consider this. If sports were somehow watered down and less physical, how would he know? He doesn't play any.
@@xGSxAmAZyn ahh yeah dude teenagers who long for the bygone era of hard knock football because they listen to weirdos in suits shouting their opinions on huge tvs instead of play football. Grab me a saspirilla while you're in 1823 Cole. Thanks bud
Players have gotten so good they make it look easier. Look at pitching now we have so many pitchers throwing 96+, keeping batters below .200, their whip(walks+hits/innings pitched) under 1, a return if 300K pitchers and K/9 of 12
You wanna talk about “different”
Take the fact it took Hank 1500 more at bats for him to hit ONE more homer than Babe Ruth.
Baseball is played against they players of the day, not the yesterdays or the tomorrows.
Bill can say whatever he wants but I’m SURE he’s a Bucs fan THIS year.
Compare Brady to a Bradshaw, Staubach or a Montana
His narrow ass wouldn’t have survived three seasons in the 70’s and 80’s
But HE IS PLAYING NOW not then.
You wanna watch “real” sports
Get highlight films of “back in the day”
Last MLB season of the 50 or so at bats I saw on TV 60-70% were home runs. Total fix.
They definitely pussified football and basketball
Badminton all the rackets are strung with scientifically engineered strings. The shoes are also getting to specialized. Watch it in the upcoming Olympics you will see what I mean.
Dude the next Olympics may never come
@WorldFlex Actually i do watch
@Jolly Roger Over what?
Punching Down ahahaha
You crack me up 😂
i mean life used to be harder back in the day too
Jordans era was much harder fought then lebron's.
but lebron's era is more skilled
@@mahamedjmal2536 not necessarily they just played smarter in jordans time when everything wasn't an And 1 move.
@@KonohazFinest but now every player has to create space back then hitting a crossover wasn't a requirement for big men. Gilbert arenas a former wizards player talks about how offense just evolved so much
Love the jerky boys
It’s called caring about someone’s health. I’d argue that the casual fans are the ones who are mad defenses can’t hit. Real fans want their players healthy.
Completely true. If you have ever played a contact sport at a reasonably high-level, you know big hits that injure are not fun. Using hockey as an example, the players are so much more talented now than they previously were in the 90s and early 00's that the result of the game remaining the same would be constant career-ending injuries. It is a bunch of armchair quarterbacks, who never fucking played, opining for the old times when people would get concussions and then be out there the next game with mush for brains.
My actual problem with it is that there's no balance. A ball carrier can lower his helmet and put it in a tackler's chin and there's no call. But when a ball carrier lowers his shoulder to protect the ball, and gets hit in the head because its on the SAME PLANE as his abdomen, it's a 15 yrd penalty. Plus, you can tackle everyone else, but you just have to hug the QB. It is frustrating. I remember seeing Aaron Rodgers pretend like he was going to run out of bounds, so the Tackler pulled up. Then Rodgers turned upfield for a few more yards. Thats why I don't like it. It's unfair.
@@Deon2020 yea thats fine if you wanna mke adjustments for less injuries but in order to balance it out they are gonna have to either A. Allow 12 men to play on def as opposed to 11 to give the defense an extra defender would even the playing filed with the offense a bit or B. They are going to have to make it 15 yards for a 1st down instead of 10
No. We don’t watch for that reason. People want to see carnage
My car is not that great
I agree 100000% with Bill. I don’t watch basketball anymore because it so soft now.
I hear now the pitchers are using foreign substances on the ball so they can put mad spin. They say a problem now is pitchers are improving at a higher rate than the batters. Who is they , beats me. This is like recent recent not pre 2019
Basketball only sucks if its the nba, european basketbal hits different
Bob Gibson,
Crankyankers Security job Birchum. Not hiring !? Not hiring a guy that did 3 tours in Vietnam and is a 3rd degree blackbelt. You’re not hiring that guy!! 🤣
You’re wrong Bill, I don’t want to watch baseball, at all.
Hockey and football are the best sports to watch, and Moto gp.
Go red wings
Bill is right. I was a huuuge NBA & Detroit Pistons fan back in the Bad Boyz era then enjoyed the 2002-2006 "Goin' to work" era when they won another Title in 2004! Man shit was awesome and fun to watch. Even through the "Teal" era when the team sucked, but least we still had Grant Hill & Jerry Stackhouse! I quit watching Pistons & NBA all together in 2009. Rules and just everything was fucking lame as shit! Never looked back, fuck todays sports! hahaha
Basketball is gay
The elderly be like "back in my day after a game of pigskin you'd spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair! Men aren't men anymore!" Pretty sadistic take.
Bruh my dad can’t walk cause of football he’s not even the same person.
@Winston Last Name well to be fair only Steph hits those shots regularly lol
No one here has played golf then? Golf is almost impossible to shoot par and yet that’s what is expected of you...
We're talking about sports
@@lighgblue2676 😂😂😂
1:29 Hello, this is Gay Actor Michael Douglas
His take on baseball is true to me lol I'm not a huge baseball fan but when I do watch it I wanna see HRs n shit not pitchers duel lol
A pitchers duel is for baseball people because we played and know how hard it is to hit, especially off a guy on his game
NFL players have enough CTE as it is now how the fuck is it still legal i dont get
Well yeah you could elbow, punch tackle players in the air who go for a lay up so yeah.
Just ask Pippen how he got almost literally beat up from the Pistons and got up afterwards and continued playing. Nowadays you blow a little air in transition and it’s immediately a foul
OL' BILLY BOOMER
Bill is also ignoring how one of, if not THE best defenses of all time wasnt around from 2012-2015 in Seattle lmao
things gen-z say for 200
@@playoffl36ron8 I'm a millennial. That defense stopped the "best offense of all time" in the Super Bowl. Their entire schtick was physicality which Burr was saying there isnt any in modern football.
Bill is now just recycling Patrice material, great.
Cry about it.
i remember seeing a video of nash reset his broken nose in the middle of a game, and someones comment had me rolling, they said if it was lebron with a broken nose, he wouldv asked for 30 freethrows hahah fuck sports today, people fucking posting their opinions on their jerseys
Omg that old navy add was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Whoever is in charge of marketing needs to be fired.
Bob Gibson Bill... what the fuck?
MMA would be an outlier here, the sport has gotten less offense heavy and far more technical. The early days were nothing but human cock fighting with advertisements being nothing but a show of blood sport. MMA now is a legitimate sport, well regulated and promoted professionally. Heck we event went from KO of the night to performance of the nigh to show the sport is getting away from the brutal knock out aspect. Sure KO fighters will always be loved but if Francis and his new wrestling showed anything, it's that people respect genuine skill.
The UFC sucks now. Everyone who makes it there barely kicks or grapples anymore. They are just throwing big straights and haymakers at each other because they are scared of being KO'd too easily and ruining their big money chance. Same thing Dana used to criticize about Boxing back in the day.
@@murray9807 What are you talking about, that isn't close to true. So many fighters are known for their ground game and kicks are more common than ever. You just want to hate to hate
I blame woke culture. Nobody gets hurt, everybody gets a trophy
Idk man 70s football was completely unsane and amazing while nfl now is offensive however there's still defensive battles and its mostly for player safety which still sucks in the nfl
My dad played for the dolphins in the 70s he’s a vegetable.. safety doesn’t suck it saves lives..
@@cacapeepeepoopoohead1632 the safety in the current NFL is still terrible and players are still experiencing the same fucked up shit old players experienced is my point.
You think Diesel is cool? Really?
I like cooking oil better
NBA is so fucking boring to watch last decade or so. Every fucking year the league comes up with rules to soften up the game and make it more flashy so a casual fan gets what he wants. This year the refs handing out T's like advertisment papers. Just say the magic term and one and you cought a T.
"Sports used to be harder"
Shows a guy involved in a murder, and a guy that cheated.
...almost like that was intentionally done...
to prove the point
Any Brady records are useless.
The sport I love AFL changed rules to create a more free flowing higher scoring game and there isn't any more D anymore and makes me sad
NHL is definitely easier
Mandatory HGH injections for all pro and semi-pro athletes!
Sports - especially football- started catering more and more towards females to capture their business. And incorporated the awful woke agendas. Hence, sports got soft. Everything gets soft, weak and polished when you do these two things.
I'm 27, and I've had this observation for over half my life: It seems that the more safety rules there are, the *more* people get injured.
Is it like governement? Because making something worse while claiming it's in the name of making it "better" is some snake-oil salesman crap that's on the level of what you'd hear from a used car salesman. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen... or the field/court in this case.
Football, or I guess, soccer is the only sport that's trending in defense
True. I live in the US and get so mad when people who claim to enjoy good defensive battles say soccer is boring. HOW?!
Oh he said soccer instead of football, because I’m American. “ You see that Karen I have culture now” let’s go buy something plastic and throw it away in the ocean😃
@@tootsitroll9785 hahahaha
Can‘t watch woke commercial sports anymore. Watch your local team
Snowflake Football is what it's called now Bill.
ahhh this nonsense of wanting this money train to keeping growing is what's destroying sports. It is happening across the pond European football and the whole supper league issue which I am happy the fans made it known that this is not what the sport is supposed to mean. But the in-game rules have gotten soft over the years and that is just a buzz kill.
