Players move from team to team and so we root for a jersey not the player.
If the Giants win, good. If they lose, oh well.
I and others have lost the passion for pro sports. The guys make too much money and don't care about anything except that.

I'm in same boast as you. I am almost out of all pro sports, but is this the way it is designed - to only care about the next generation of fans? In the 70's, I watched pro baseball and football with my father and I was a little kid. He would say that the talent was better when was young.
Regarding Biggio- the best. Went to SHU baseball game against Notre Dame where his son was playing for ND. He was so kind and approachable and even gave some tips to my son who plays ball without asking.
