Longtime training staff member retires
BY NEIL BEST
PHOENIX - As players, coaches and assorted other celebrants in the winning locker room basked in the glow of the Giants’ Super Bowl XLII victory, John Johnson quietly got dressed and reflected on his excellent timing.
Johnson had decided the game would be his last after 60 years on the team’s training staff.
Good way to go out? "Absolutely fantastic, as far as I’m concerned," he said.
Why retire? “I’m getting a little old," he said.
How old? “Oh, I don’t know," he said. “About 90. So I think it is time for me to go easy. Walking up steps and hills starts to get you a little bit. But it was a great game, great for me and a lot of other people."
