Funny you should say this SS. Eddie George was talking about how McNair was trying to fill a void in his life after football. Obviously this isn't the way to do it, but he said life after football is a lot harder then people realize. As for the other, other woman, that could have been all in that girls head.

When did he say that? It's not an uncommon problem with athletes. I was just talking to an ex-NFL'er the other day (not Eddie George) who saying that exact thing. That some players have a hard time adjusting to it, and preparing for it. I mean at 33 I feel like my career and, in many ways my life, is just starting. If I were a pro athlete I'd probably be considered past my prime at this point. That can be a tough thing to deal with.

I saw it yesterday. It was either ESPN or COMCAST I think. It may even have been CNN. I was channel surfing.

Definitely. Plus you have the competitive spirit which drove your career, a spirit which now lacks an outlet. And, for the vain, you are not as much of the hot-shot celebrity that you used to be.
