So I went back to work today on crutches and enjoyed an entire day of the men in my office (right up to the General Manager, by the way) telling me I was no longer a young man. True enough, and the thought had, indeed, crossed my mind independently... But alright already! I'm grudgingly willing to acknowledge that just because Brett Favre is older than me doesn't mean I'm young ( ... and it's true, he's been my hero for exactly that reason).
On the other hand, my foot is healing fast enough that my armpits hurt more from the crutches than my foot hurts from its injury.
You know what?... nevermind! Put me in, Coach, I'm ready to play!

Careful, that's what Rocky thought going into Rocky IV and in Rocky V it turned out he had severe brain damage and had to retire before facing off with his protege.
If you do get back in the ring, I certainly hope you don't have a protege. Great human sagas repeat themselves in every generation. Of course, Rocky did win then too...
Alright, put him in coach!
