Football is in his DNA. It is his identity. Brady has played the game for over 40 years. It’s hard to walk away from who you are, especially when you are still playing at a high level. You should know this, Peter.

How many old multi-millionaire lawyers do you see still practicing? They obviously don’t need the money or notoriety. The law flows through their veins. It’s giving something up which you’ve done your entire life that is hard.

as people get up in years, society is younger and younger relatively to them. To young kids, you are just someone to get out of the way at the grocery store, however the job you have can still give you that significance...thats why aging multimillionaires professionals still want the accolades and attention from the mini world society, but once they no longer doing that professin they are just another person to get out of the way at the grocery store...

My two favorite lines on aging.

"Though much is taken, much abides."

"An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,"
