Fly, your analogy with Tom Hanks has some validity, but not much. The difference is Tom Hanks work in an industry where he can pick and choose his projects. I heard somewhere than he gets between 30-50 screenplays a year, maybe looks at 10, and might choose 2 or 3.
If Neidermayer did that, he would be destroyed by the media and by fans. Could you imagine if he said, "Ya, I'll come back, but I am only playing Home Games, never back to backs, and only against west opponents."
You're talking Apple's and Oranges.
And Barry Sanders, I believe still loves Football and that is why he walked away. DIfferent from Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders will always remember himself as the best at the sport he loved. Jordan will always remember a shell of his former self in the sport he loved.
In the end, I agree to disagree with you Fly. I can appreicate both points of view as I know I will golf until the day I die. You are like that with hockey.
If you are under the age of 15, please do some research before you make a post about anything pre-1997. |

It's closer than apples to oranges.
I think it's more like red delicious apples to macintosh apples, but I get your point. |

I suppose the first thing we would do is look down at our shoes and realize how nice they are compared to the crap we used to wear . I suppose that may be part of what flyguy is saying.
Having said that, as my grandma used to say, everyone being different is what makes the world go round. I was awfully confused by that for many years by the way .
