The issue with people who are the very best of the best is that there is nothing else in life, typically. All their time is spent on being the best.
I came to that conclusion when I saw a documentary about Dale Earnhardt, Jr. When it came to Dale Sr's relationship to his older kids it was pretty obvious that he didn't have one. I speculate that the reason Jr. became a racer was simply to be around his Old Man. Maybe Theresa had something to do with it, too, being the young, influential wife and all.
That’s why I really like how Peyton and Eli are handling their retirement, whoever came up with the idea of them doing the Monday Night Games is a genius.
