After long contemplation and discussion with my family, I have decided to continue working. Further, I will not be attending training camp with the Minnesota Vikings.
I had to be careful not to commit for the wrong reasons. I’m 43 with a lot of time in front of the computer. The problem with going to work every day for twenty-odd years is that they think there’s nothing wrong with you and you can work forever. The things that bothered me, bothered me a little more. It takes longer to recover — if you do recover.
Ultimately, though, continuing to earn a living was something that my family and I wanted to do. So I’m going to commit 110 percent for at least the next year.

But we know how fickle you are. This means that you’re undecided or you’re trying to up the Vikings offer.

On my vacation I went to a Brewer’s game in Milwaukee WI. I saw the funniest T-shirt it was green with a cheese yellow outline of Wisconsin, and outline facsimile of your face. The words said, “We’ll never forget you BRENT.”

Guys, aren’t we being a little tough on him here? I mean, look at the numbers. James is a hall-of-famer, let’s just celebrate any decision he makes and enjoy the ride. Even if it’s a non-decision.
