Even more painful was seeing substitutes act no different. When those not even guaranteed a roster spot after the injured return won't bother carrying out the fundamentals, then it is obvious the "swagger" we've become accustomed to permiates from top to bottom. And with it embraced by that 25th man, well, it's hard not to expect anything different in 2010. Bobby V. wouldn't stand for it. Jerry M. gets mad but doesn't do anything. Omar M. just ignores it. Only expect change after Fred and Jeff look at their box office receipts and don't like what they see. Hi Greg,
