LT was the BEST, I dont think anyone can argue this point, but you rarely 
recover 100% after an injury like that.

And we have a good start so far, I think bringing LT back would make the 
rebuild more difficult.  Hell, the only reason we didnt rebuild sooner is 
because of the last superbowl win.  The Jints tried to CLING to the 
veterans and hope the success would continue.  NOT!

Funny thing, on the way in this morning I heard a report that LT will be 
visiting a few specialists to try and rehabilitate that tendon quick, and is 
now talking SERIOUSLY about coming back for next season, EXACTLY for the 
reasons stated above.

I'd love to LT's final performance as a memorable one, like if he goes wild 
with a game record number of SACKS to our opposing QB!  We give him 
a standing-O as he leaves home field for the last time and they 
retire his number.  :-)  oh,,,, to dream!

Boink, back to reality.  He should retire, for the good of the team.  LT was 
always one to do what is best for the team.  He will think about it, and in 
the end WILL probably retire  :-(
