After listening to some sports talk radio excerpts from 1985, I have the uneasy feeling I could turn on the radio right now and still hear some of those very same callers proposing to the host that the Cardinals should trade so-and-so for so-and-so, despite the fact that it's a wildly imbalanced trade that one team's management would never approve.
The players' names would be different, and the talk show host would probably be different, as well. The caller's lack of realistic perspective, however, would likely be unchanged.
