I worked in a gym. I was a trainer. I did all the crappy ex-football-player jobs.
I never one time mentioned anything to any coach about retirement or joining the CIA or anything like that.
I think one has to understand that there are stages in life, and that the life of an athlete has its limits. It's short, and then it stops, and sooner or later you have to accept that.
Peter Forsberg's skills and determination made him one of the most powerful forwards in the NHL during the best years of his career. Hearing of his retirement is sad news but one day every athlete has to come to this decision. He should be very proud of all he accomplished throughout his career.
They drafted me in the third round to come play receiver, return some kicks and that's my job. The Olympics are behind me and I'm just looking forward to helping the Bills.
I think every athlete is afraid for their career to be over.
It's extremely uncommon in sports to retire and have a show about you within eight months of retiring.
If you think about who retires during their prime, the number of athletes who do that is very small.
