 Why we always look at old athletes as sad isn't because we see ourselves in them, and it reminds us of our own aging and the fact that you can't beat father time and all the other little fun things you say about getting older. Some people appreciate it. I actually like getting older. I've enjoyed getting older every step of the way. I'm 35 now. I'm not a dinosaur by any stretch of the measure, so it might hit me differently when I'm 45, 55, 65, 75, but I've enjoyed aging.
