I’ve been expecting his retirement announcement since 2011 when he had the neck surgeries. He has too many ailments and is almost 40. I think he only played so he could set the all-time passing yards record.

Um, he made it to a SUPER BOWL since then. Don't be silly.

He continues to play so he can prove he is a better quarterback than Favre.

That simple.

That may be a part of it, but I think it is just very difficult for most of these guys to walk away. Think Favre on the Jets and Vikings, or Michael Jordan on the Wizards, or Willie Mays on the Mets.

Looks like Eli wins the Super Bowl ring competition.
