[font=roboto]Someone the other day mentioned in a post that the 10 Commandments of Niner Basketball needed to be amended since we no longer make the postseason (and a couple of the Commandments dealt with postseason). So…here is my attempt at amending the 10 Commandments. It is now the 10 Commandments of Niner Athletics with some adjustments made to fit the last 10 years of pronounced mediocrity and disappointment…in EVERY sport.[/font]
