Parells Talked about why he didnt come back many times. back in 07 he spoke at length about it, i think it was either the rich eisen show or it was the interview at his house with babe.
The real reason and what he is saying for anyone with above a 3rd grade ability to comprehend what he is saying is that, the team needed to make a fg and just couldn't and it he knew what it would take to get back to that same position to have a shot at a championship and he was too old to do what was required.
He spoke about how he had been through similar losses many times and one of them was the 89 loss to the Rams at home after a great regular season the giants got knocked out after everett led a game tying drive to send it to overtime and then everett hit flipper anderson on a coverage that was screwed up. They were favorites and lost.
then he talked about coming up just short in 98 at denver and then building an even better team for 99 and Testaverde's achilles popped on opening day and they were stuck without a qb.
The whole point of his statement is that after a hard loss like that it takes all kinds of work to comeback and go through the whole offseason and hope you get back into position. I think on the rich eisen show in one of those years after he talked about how they still had a good shot after the fumbled snap and that roy williams jumped into the wrong gap and gave up a big run to shawn alexander. he also mentioned witten getting his first down overturned without clear evidence.
It was a tough loss for everyone and was part of the reason the team was so good the next year, they were determined to get over that.
you have to be incredibly gullible or just a troll (YOU) to actually believe he retired because of a crazy play which many other people have made, two of them in the nfc east in the playoffs. The Commanders and giants both lost wild card games because of botched holds on field goal attempts a few years before the cowboys did. Brad Johnson did it vs Tampa to lose and I forget the holder for the giants in 02 vs sf.
also Jay Novacek made the exact same play vs the giants in 1990 and didnt hold again after that if I remember correctly.
