Not to mention AI and all the other things.

So to me, that's an even out.

I wouldn't say that is a factor, but I do wonder like...

maybe maybe some of the psychology of sports we're getting a little better about about handling adversity maybe that's a little better this is a theory from nick from cleveland with all the au teams these guys have played um probably a thousand different gyms over the years they're constantly waking up driving three hours playing for six hours coming home um

eating McDonald's breakfast, getting back in the car, driving somewhere else.

An 8.30 finals game after a day off is a walk in the park compared to what they probably dealt with for 10 years, along with proper sleep, nutrition.

It makes sense to me that they're better.

not against that.

There's definitely, definitely, um, you're bouncing around more and you know, a gym is a gym after a while.

Um, this is the big one.

A couple of people brought this up with the refs because I mentioned with Mahoney, like you really felt like you could sway the refs, especially there was two for a long time in the seventies and eighties.

I can't remember when they went to three.

Um, there was, there's blood in the air.

Um,

There were just outright, you can watch some of the stuff on YouTube.

There were just some, some games that you just can't believe how one side of the officiating ones, which is so much harder to do now in the era of social media.

I really feel like in the two thousands, this shifted with, from what was going on basically from 1999 through the Miami, um, Dallas series in oh six, um,

than Donaghy happens in 07.

And all of a sudden we got way better at kind of monitoring what was going on with refs.

So there is a before after that.
