I watched it. I didn't think it was all that bad. The strobe effects are pretty cool.

Great QB,...played the game the way it should be. and was second only to Roger Clemens when it came to milking the "will I/won't I" retirement circus. Ding. I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his mind. Either that, or he sits out a year and decides that he still thinks he has "what it takes" to ...
