Baseball is remotely the only one I can think of where some experts always throw it around that teams from way back could play today.I don't think so!
Some say horses in horse racing used to be better 75 years ago due to the fact that bloodlines weren't watered down but that's not a pro sport.
Experts say that Jim Brown in football and Sandy Koufax pitching in baseball were the best even when comparing today's runningbacks and pitchers.
I think nutrition,size of players,conditioning,better breeding,better equipment,better coaching and better everything have made it where teams like the Texas state football champions of today could beat the better college football teams of the 60's and maybe 70's?Hell,maybe they could beat pro teams from that era?You watch a lot of college football tapes from the 60's and the guys didn't even look like they were supposed to be football players.No shoulders,small,skinny and no muscle tone. etc.
It's embarrassing though when you get a bunch of old Al Bundy's that live in the past about their high school,college or pro careers in any sport from 50 or 60 years ago where they say their teams were better than today's teams.It's pathetic hearing that crap.hehe!
Anyone ever hear Frank Gifford talk about this where he claims football was as good when he played as today?Hell,Gifford played when there were hardly any black players even.He's such a legend in his own mind.Guys were so slow in his era where it looked like they were posing to get their football card pictures taken when they were playing in a game.hehe!
