back then no one cared like they do now.

that's literally the OP's point. men were just rougher than these newer generations.

Once said his favorite thing to do was drive his boat 60mph up and down the intercostal hitting every bar along the way.

Smoking cigs during half time and not taking care of your body. Shows poor commitment to the game and lack of discipline back then.

If there's one thing that is true in this world, it's this:

John Daly moonlights as Harry Rex Vonner.

and Stabler's parent's generation probably said Stabler and all his friends were sissys with long hair like girls and who wore helmets and pads. Its all about perspective

Perspective and* truth.

It is objectively true that men have gotten softer and weaker, mentally. That doesn't mean we can't regain perspectives and harden again. (not to turn this into some philosophical/political debate)

I have no clue how you objectively measure if men have gotten softer and weaker mentally

Harry Rex Vonner is not to be hurt.
Merry Christmas, or else.

“I enjoy hanging out with the guys and riding around in pickup trucks, shooting pool and drinking beer. Neither of my wives could understand that.” Ken Stabler

Ken Stabler is a POS, typical hero for Bama.

How many DUIs is he up to?

Kenny and Richard Todd had houses on ono Island with ajoining yards. I had gone over to look at a piece of property. As I was leaving I drove by their houses and both were standing in their yards. As I went by I tooted my horn and they both threw up their hands and waved. They had a smile and I did too.

Sorry for pointing out your hero is a drunk convict who risks other people's lives. He is so cool, right.

The only difference between these two Bama heroes is that one was lucky enough to not kill anyone.

The craziest Ken Stabler story ever, and there a ton of them, is when his Lower Alabama cronies planted cocaine on a reporter who wrote a disparaging article. Good Times.
