Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited for Superbowl LVI: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams. Doesn't that sound great? Even though probably nobody expected this matchup to happen.
It'll be a good game, I'm sure. I predict a high-scoring game; neither team has a dominant defense, but both offenses have that Big-Play potential. Obviously I'm disappointed that the Niners didn't make it, but they did make it much further than I dreamed they would. After they started out 2-4, they went 8-3 for the rest of the season. Not a bad finish, and definitely speaks to our prospects next year.
Seriously though, I don't see what he has left to prove that would be worth the risk of injury and/or humiliation in a possibly no-so-great team.
That's what I would be concerned about. His health comes off as a double edged sword right now, i.e. he's healthy enough to play, but at his age he's one severe injury away from ruining the next 10 years of his life. Joe Montana stubbornly played though a bad back injury, and was miserable for years as a result. Playing until your 44 and getting out with your health intact is huge win, even without the 7 rings.
Edit: and hes officially retired

the end of an unbelievable era
I just saw his tweet, I guess that's all she wrote. What an amazing, historic career, I'm glad I was around to witness it.
