"This
isn't like any other good-bye you'll ever say. People who never played can't
understand it. This isn't something you just turn off. It's not like closing
a door." ...Tommy McDonald '98 Hall of Fame '68 Cleveland '67 Atlanta '65-66 LA Rams '64 Dallas '57-63 Philadelphia |

"There was a time in my life
when football meant everything to me. But it had become an enabler. It
was what enabled me to get the drugs that I was living for." |

| "My
ego couldn't accept being just an average player. The reality was clear
to me - you aren't what you were. The game had been so good to me. I had
too much respect for it to just settle for collecting a pay check from it." ...Bill Fralic '93 Detroit '85-92 Atlanta |

|
| Bill
started the William
P. Fralic Foundation, a non-profit foundation raising public funds to

"You
have to have the right attitude about retiring. I always thought it would
be sad if those eight years were going to be the high point of my life.
It was just a chapter. You finished it and you went on. It's like getting
out of high school...you have some great memories and you look back on it
with a certain fondness, but you're hoping the best years of your life are
ahead of you." ...Vai Sikahema '91-93 Philadelphia '91 Green Bay '86-90 St. Louis/Phoenix |

"Having to do
without football for a year...it's true what they say about absence making
the heart grow fonder. But I know I really dedicated myself after that,
because I knew what it was like to be on the outside looking in."
...Dan Reeves after a year in real estate '65-72 Dallas |
