Very cool.
My friends that have played again are very big names. One thing they said they wish that had done early on was be a little more humble and realize the game and fame will end. Today they are very humble individuals who realize they played a great game, but just that, a game.
One friend like to keep busy and started a landscaping business. He's totally happy earning $100 to clean up someone's yard and he was once the highest paid player in the league. That guy has my respect.
Maybe words to pass down to those who may make it in your family.
