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
