Old Colts star Jim Parker battles Sunday nerves
Former Baltimore Colts guard Jim Parker, now 35 and retired for two years, suffers weeks of pregame jitters and physical reactions each Sunday during football season. He still experiences a racing heart, welts, and urges to wear a helmet, driven by mental strain from pro football. Parker avoids game day in Baltimore, uses nervous pills, and distracts himself by driving and listening to radio updates while dreaming of returning to the field.
