Layoffs and Playoffs

AITOOW is sick of the difference in regular season and playoff effort in sports? Especially football and basketball. It's like the regular season is pro-am. You can see the difference in effort. It's night and day. Nor subtle. The speed. The concentration. The contact (on non white players). The actual participation and Lazurus rises from the dead (or injured list). And it doesn't help that the renumeration they get is astronomical and you know there are passive aggressive racial undertones to it. Or they are just plain lazy like the stereotype asserts.
