Aside from the money aspect, tired is one thing, injured is another. The body needs time to rest & recover between “games.”

Not to mention the travel that takes place between games.

Looking at the list of injured athletes gives validity to their claims about the schedule being tough. These guys are people, not machines. Overuse leads to injuries, wheter you’re a weekend warrior or pro athlete.

So true.
I am working 10 hours a day every day this week and another 12 on Saturday.
I can barely take a 15 minute lunch.

Am I the only one getting tired of all these stories about the compressed schedule and how tired these guys are? They have maybe 3-5 games a week, which lasts a few hours, maybe a practice or two, and only have to work a few months this year. And, they do this for millions of dollars. Most of us work 40-50 hours every week, for a small fraction of that money, with maybe a few weeks off each year (not a few months). And, we don’t get a built in excuse of a compressed schedule to not do our jobs well.

Buck up, play hard, and quite whining about the schedule.
