As a football fan in general, I am sad to see this turn of events. Great athlete, ferocious competitor and general class act.
I am a Pats fan, and I am disappointed to see this in that it completely takes the air out of this important, fun and interesting rivalry that had developed.
But if he does play, I want him to be as far away as is humanly possible, out of the AFC, and preferably on the other side of the world.
He takes too many years off of my life when he plays the Patriots.
Fair winds and following seas to wherever his fortune takes him. He is a good man and a Hall of Famer,
Just as long as my team only sees him once every few years...:)
NOTE: Nearly every Patriots fan in my circle that I know would echo this sentiment. Nothing but respect in these circles.
He must really want to play ball badly.
Because he could make a ton of money as a tv analyst or football coach.
I suspect he’d progress to NFL head coach in just a few years, just like Jim Harbaugh.
