Pokes’ White may retire after 12 NFL years TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Danny White, bothered more by off-the-fleld crit icism than by his lingering wrist in jury, says he is thinking of retiring after 12 NFL seasons. “It’s not an easy decision,” White said Saturday at a football clinic here. “The wrist is fine. It’s not a question of anything having to do with me physically. I’ll never be able to bend it. “Pathologically, I’m having a problem. Emotionally, I’m fine. I’ve gotten about 90 percent of the strength back and I can still improve that a little bit. It’s merely a matter of adapting. “It’s not a physical question. It’s more a psycological question,” added White. “It’s just a kind of beating you take off the field. That, for me, is something I’ve grown kind of tired of. It takes a little fun out of the game.” White, 36, has played for Dallas since 1976 and has been blamed by some fans for not leading the Cow boys to the Super Bowl like his pre decessor Roger Staubach. “At some point, it’s going to get to the point where the game’s not as much fun for me as it once was. And that’s when it’s going to hit me. . . that it’s time to retire,” White said. He said he still is bothered by the wrist injury on his throwing hand. His right wrist was broken on Nov. 2, 1986, when he was sac ked by New York Giants defensive lineman Carl Banks and ha s not healed p rqperly. enough of Steve to kno White said the wrist ren going to Ik* the type of qu and bothers 1 lim primarily w hen he he wants.
