At 31 he still should have a year or two left in him.

Tiki's still got a bunch in the tank. Although he is kind of creepy.

Theres no way this he can retire now. Tiki has actually gotten better with age. He fumbles the ball less now than ever. He had 2 200 yrd games last season and over 2000 total yards. IF he leaves the game right now he would be leaving in the middle of his prime and thats a shame. Maybe Ronde can talk him out of it.

He is also on a team with a bright future that probably won't go all the way this season. Does he really want to be in TV so much that he would give up a chance to play for a team that could be in the Super Bowl? As long as he can still play well, why retire? The TV job will be there after unless he has a serious image problem over the next year or so.
