Retirement

Kurt Warner announced his retirement from the game at age 38. He said he was walking away from the game after 12 seasons while he could still walk. That right there is a smart man. His career is something that was special. He made it to the NFL after spending time playing in Europe, the Arena League and stocking shelves at the Hi-Vee Grocery Store back home in Iowa. He made it to three Super Bowls, winning two MVP awards and making four Pro Bowl which is to me Hall of Fame credentials. What is crazy though after his last season with the Rams we would not have been talking about HOF. He was benched by the Rams, Giants and Cardinals and it appeared Warner would finish his career as a backup. Warner has admitted he likely will go through withdrawal from the game, but has long said he had many other things in life to accomplish. You have to respect this guy because he is going out a winner no matter the outcome of his last game.
