And I did not want that.

Yes, that's so difficult.

It must be so difficult.

It must be so difficult because it's amazing to think that that part of your life, your whole life has been building this one thing.

It's over and you're 37 years old.

That's a young age to be for everything to have stopped.

It's no wonder that there can be big problems in terms of what you want the rest of your life to functionally be.

And the idea of it slipping through your fingers, something that came so naturally to you since you were three years old.

And all of a sudden you realize when you are the best in any environment that you're in to all of a sudden feel it fading away.

I cannot imagine how that must feel.

I remember talking once to Joe Dumas.

He was a basketball player with the Detroit Pistons.

Really fascinating, interesting guy.

And he was talking about...

Towards the end of his career, Kobe Bryant started playing.

And so he was 18, I think, when he started playing, which is young for American sports, not for football, but for American sports, he's young.

And he said he could feel him standing off him.

And he had been thinking about, oh, when am I going to retire anyway?

He could feel the first time, you're not playing properly against me.
