I just want to say thank you TB12. I wish retirement was your choice; if only for the "never played anywhere but one place" nostalgia, but understand that there is a fire that burns in you which simply makes that not possible.
Your professional run coincided with me entering my adult years; and while people remember the sports legends of their youth with almost mythical like reverence, mine came in the form of you upon my return to the US.
While many people "root for the laundry", I typically am not one of them. I grew up outside of the US, so I wasn't "born and raised" into a sports team fandom. I rooted for you and your success and like Baseball before it, my sports fandom hours devoted to the NFL will recede with you moving on.
Thanks for your drive to be great, your will to get it done when it seemed like it couldn't, you remembering where your journey started from, and for being a champion six times over.
I wish you all the best and look forward to buying just one more jersey for my collection, even if turns out to be one of the worst color combinations in sports.
