Then one day, you wake up, and you’re old, and it’s over. You don’t have anything to dodint about anymore. You just have some coffee, go on Twitter, go about your day.

It’s brutal.

yeah...retirement at 30 with more money than you can spend. brutal. i get it. it's a different sort of struggle for athletes. but still... get a hobby. go to school and have fun with it. have kids and actually spend time with them.

but anyways...whitney is, in fact, just the best. i wish he was on TV.

It sounded familiar to me as well, but I think it was the "Thanks Sid for the back door tap ins," that he used before.

My favorite line from the article...

After an hour, the nurse calls me: “Wheet-ney.”

Mind you, the bleeding guy is still sitting there, so that’s probably not good, but what am I gonna do? I go in.
