Thank goodness! These jocks hang around far past their time. They just can't seem to leave. Brent Farve was another one that was way past his time. The Dolphins had to pay Dan Marino a million dollars to retire. And Nolan Ryan was the ultimate jock. He was still pitching when he was 45. He played from the late 60's all the way to the mid 90's. He made so much money he and a partner bought the Texas Rangers.
