A win for life

[Mike_e]

Not what some might want to hear but life is bigger than football.  I say this because for some football has lost it's reason.

I decided not to hold a press conference because I didn't want to have to say things that were cliché. I've done enough of that since I've been playing football. I actually didn't really plan on saying anything about my retirement at all. I just kind of wanted to disappear. The fact that I was done playing would've been clear once some time had passed, and I hadn't signed back with the Cardinals or any other team. Maybe people would've thought I couldn't get another job. Either way, I was okay with the idea of fading to black, and my legacy becoming "What ever happened to that dude Rashard Mendenhall? He was pretty good for a few years, then he just vanished."

I liked what he said.  Sounded way more grounded than most pro athletes.

I'm suprised more athletes don't do that.  rack up some mils then take the money and run while you are still healthy enough to enjoy it.

Because a lot of them spend it before they grow up and realize they should save a lot of it.
