Tip to Cass on SB, Freeney talks about how hard relationships are
Jason Cole: You just turned 30. Does that change your perspective on football?
Dwight Freeney: I think it starts to sink in around this time, at 29, 30, 31. You start to think about life after football. At some point, you have to start building something so that when it’s all said and done, what are you going to do after football is gone? Those thoughts start to come in. When you’re younger and you first come into the league, you don’t think like that. You’re young, you’re hungry, you go out and make some plays, then go party and that’s it. Then you start the next year off and do it again. Now it’s like, what am I going to do when I am 35, 36, 37? Who knows? Do I even want to play that long? I might still be able to play that long, but do I want my body to endure that much punishment for another five or six years? You start to think about those things. What do I want to do? Retire and go play golf every day? Do I want to start another business? Those are the kinds of thoughts that hit at 30.
