Neither team is playing well enough to deserve hot water anyway.

They say the old rockpile used to have about 2 minutes of hot water for showers then cold the rest of the way. Guys would jog from the field to the showers ‘cause they knew this. Players these days are soft !

First world problems. When I lived overseas in Russia where I taught English, heat was turned off by the central heating authority in the summer (heat is pumped in to apartments by a central government location) so I had to take cold showers daily for months. The fact there's complaints about this from grown men is pure first world softness. America is going downhill.

Did you have to walk up hill both ways to school when you were a kid?

Enough wodka and it starts to feel hot!

S***, Danny Dimes could have popped for two of those Hollywood type shower trailers they rent for on location movie shoots.  Pikers. 🤨

I grew up in a rural small snowbelt WNY town and had to walk about a mile up my family's  stone drive way (wooded drive way) to the bus stop and stand there in numerous snow storms for anywhere from 10 minutes to 40 minutes (bus driver was often late in the winter and drove like a maniac) due to my school never closing during a snow storm (sat on a bus for 3 hours one morning because we got stuck in the snow during a storm). There was no waiting inside for the bus to come and then walking out (like I see kids doing now)...

 

So yes soft generation now a days....

Deriving your self worth from your ability to withstand cold temperatures as a child is an interesting perspective and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

This thread should be rather amusing as it progresses.

I just don't feel bad about people who make millions of dollars who had to deal with a rare cold shower when many many people lack such monetary privileges and deal with similar or worse conditions....Older generations of football players dealt with worse for much less pay if you read accounts from NFL history.....I still love football but the league has gotten soft since the 70s-90s.....Today's generation of NFL players are the most pampered out of all generations and something like this wouldn't have been a story decades ago (think Ronnie Lott who chopped off part of a limb to play or Emmitt Smith who played with a separated shoulder or Favre who played with numerous broken limbs and concussions would have complained about cold water? No lol)

I have showered in Lake Erie on numerous occasions.

[billsfanmiamioh]

Happens semi regularly after my beer league hockey games despite the facilities being “nice”. Sure there’s worse things but it’s still not exactly fun.

There is in Major league reference in here somewhere

Fair, flip side is a billionaire POS treated that stadium like a slumlord in a pretty ritzy area. See the railing collapse last year?

Its barely a story today even with 24/7 digital media.  In the linked article no player even complained or discussed the cold shower.   The Commanders spokesperson reported the stadium malfunction.  You are simply looking for an opportunity to launch into a well rehearsed rant about the downfall of western society. 

 

These guys sit in ice baths and cryo freeze themselves to recover.  Back in your day they smoked a pack of Marb Reds and drank a 12 pack of Billy Beer.  You really think they can't handle a little cold?
