In sports if you could run faster or jump higher, you had to wear "handicappers" to slow and bring you down to the worst baseline. Wise up NFL!!! No more receivers "that can fly" they'll all be 6.8 in the 40 guys now!! NBA no more "Big Men" MLB no more pitchers that can throw "smoke"!!! I'm 68 and can't wait to sign that huge NFL contract!!!!

Seriously (Siriusly?), I love Vonnegut. I never saw the television play, however. Although, I'm sure I read most all, if not all, of the novels and short stories that provided the excerpts used in making the play.
