“In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
But when you lose a family member or something tragic happens, that stays with you forever. You never get over it. Knowing that you have to deal with that for the rest of your life... Football is important, but not as important as you once thought it was.
There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can't do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they are going to dislike you and that's not going to change.
Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.
