I wouldn't even point to Peyton Manning as a good example. Dude is likely going to have serious neck issues when he gets older. How many of these guys really walk away from the game on their own terms and without any problems down the line? They're few and far between. I love the NFL and I'm sure I always will, but it's getting harder and harder for me not to admit that it's a bloodsport.
