ESPN.com's Howard Bryant has a feature on Mariano Rivera, focusing mainly on his mortality, eventual decline or retirement and when it could happen. He spoke to Mo for the piece, which is worth a read.

One thing that jumps out at me is that it's, perhaps, a bit of a stretch to place David Ortiz's decline and the potential decline of Mo in the same sentence. After all, Ortiz was a great player at his position for maybe five seasons. Rivera has been so at his for at least 12. But, otherwise, there are some interesting nuggets in there.

Thanks Jack for the tip.
