After long contemplation and discussion with my family, I have decided to continue working. Further, I will not be attending training camp with the Minnesota Vikings.
I had to be careful not to commit for the wrong reasons. I’m 43 with a lot of time in front of the computer. The problem with going to work every day for twenty-odd years is that they think there’s nothing wrong with you and you can work forever. The things that bothered me, bothered me a little more. It takes longer to recover — if you do recover.
Ultimately, though, continuing to earn a living was something that my family and I wanted to do. So I’m going to commit 110 percent for at least the next year.
