One Step Past Their Prime

I don't follow basketball, but as a Coloradan I am acutely aware of the fortunes of the Denver Broncos. I entirely agree with writer Kevin Kraft.

Bryant and Manning now look like two people whose willingness to test the misinformed notion that athletes can overcome any and all travails through hard work, even aging, gave them acute tunnel vision. They look like two athletes who should have retired months ago and spared themselves, their teammates, and fans from the sad spectacle of watching them struggle.
