Not a sports person, but the hubster is a sports maniac & I am always asking him,” Why don’t these guys retire while they are still on top?” I can’t say I am totally not into sports. Love the college team & am loyal to my husband’s teams. I am strangely fixated on the great athlete who keeps on playing despite their obvious decline. WHY????????? Even hub doesn’t have a good answer to that question.
I don’t get it either. But I’m not a competitive person. My bother, who is a jock and competitive, keeps trying to explain the love of the game, competing, blah, blah, blah to me. To me it’s all about the benjamins. These guys can go out on top an still make a go-zillion dollars. Especially Peyton who could just do commercials ‘cause he is hysterically funny.
Tonight when we were discussing this he did mention one thing. His arch rival, Tom Brady, is still playing and is at the top of his game. That might be the partial motivator.
It wouldn’t make an iota of difference to me. I’d rather retire insanely wealthy and my body in semi-tact.
