Summary

Let' s talk about some of those dynasties and the players that made them. These were guys that made the team what it was and, in many cases, played out their careers with the same team. If you were a kid with a player's jersey, you could proudly wear that jersey with confidence that number was going to be with you for a long time. Think about the teams that fit the bill with multiple hall of famers before free agency. Raiders, Steelers, Dolphins. Those were dynasties. Not so much today...or ever again. The game has changed and I, for one, miss the comfort of knowing all the players on my team for multiple years. Will I still watch, you bet. With the same enthusiasm and zeal for the teams, not so much. I think you'll agree with me . I look forward to your comments. OK, seasons change and so do you. It's warming up and you want to be sure you're keeping your hair and holes tamed. C'mon, you know your partner doesn't want to deal with that hairy mess down there. Not to mention, it probably doesn't have a springtime fresh fragrance either. Here's what you need to do to keep that raging bush under control and ready for action.

0:46.7	my rant. Now I don't know about you but NFL free agency has gotten completely out of control in my opinion.
0:57.0	I mean the amount of player movement is absolutely ridiculous and yet I know we're never going back to the way it was but me being a little older and watching the NFL in the 60s and the 70s and the 80s and that's really when free agency started to take off at the end of that decade.
