I give him a round of applause. Look he never shamed the team, the fans, or the game. He never came across as if all of us that don't play were beneath him. Many players are self absorbed and cocky, not to mention have constant brushes with the law. He is deserving of applause.
Glad he decided to call it quits. I'm sure it was very hard, but his play and health had been deteriorating and he won a frickin' SuperBowl and broke the record with 200 wins. Their defense was the deciding factor.
