I don’t get it. Love Peyton, but like Favre, he just can’t move on. He’s made a zillion dollars, he could BUY the Colts, he’s already suffered for a year with an injury that hasn’t COME BACK yet (but will show up for real when he’s older); why doesn’t he settle back and cash in? Just a runaway obsession.

I'm 44 years old. I currently have a sprained thumb. I will always have a 2nd degree shoulder separation (torn ligaments between the shoulder blade and collar bone). I hurt every day because of lower back issues.

And tomorrow night I will step onto the ice for my weekly mens-league hockey game. I don't get paid "zillions". But I still do it. Why? Because I love the game. I love my teammates. I love the competition. Someday, probably very soon, I will have to hang up my skates...and even on that day, I will be thinking that "maybe I can go just one more"

I completely understand why they don't just walk away.
