Mats Sundin Soap Opera.

I'm really tired of pro athletes having all this time to retire and unretire and take weeks and months to make these decisions.

First it was Brett Favre. Then it was Michael Strahan. Now it's Mats Sundin in the NHL. He won't make a decision about returning this season by the start of the season. Ridiculous. He's going to pull some Peter Forsberg/Teemu Selanne garbage where he takes forever to decide. He'll see who's got a shot to win the Cup and try to get on board with them.

I can hear folks asking "but what about Michael Jordan and/or Mario Lemiuex? They each retired and came back more than once." True. But Michael Jordan's the best ever and Mario's in the top 3 ever. And even then I think they too were stupid for going in-and-out and off-and-on about whether or not they'd play. (For the record, Mario was still awesome until he retired for good in the middle of the 05-06 season. MJ had fizzled out when he played with the Wizards.)

Mats Sundin is a solid player. (Hes the all-time leading scorer for the Maple Leafs. No small feat.) But the NHL should have him make a decision before the season starts so teams can focus on havin teams with the players they DO have and run with it.

Peace.
