But your point is, I believe, that money trumps love for the game; that today's players are generally more interested in "cashing in" than in competing for the joy of it. Hence, their aches and pains would loom larger in their regrets.
(Heh, I just used that same "cashing in" phrase in the college football thread. I'm starting to sound like a broken record.  ) |
You know what, you're probably right. What difference does it make what you love, money or football, you'll probably do it again if given the choice.
The difference being most players today don't make big money, and are broke a few years after leaving the NFL. They will probably regret it. Years ago everyone needed a 2nd job, they just loved the game.
