If someone wants to play football they should give up reckless behavior for the 10 years they would be lucky to play at most.
I agree with this statement and to further expand on it, we are talkng about a franchise player here not a special teams player. If your the franchise player on a team(which Ben is), you owe it to your employer, coach, teammates and fans to be at your best on game day. If your going to take extreme risks in everyday life then you are letting all those people down. Terry Bradshaw suggested to Ben to "ride the bike when you retire".
