Steve McNair announces retirement

I think Steve is in the "Hall of Great". Helluva a player & one tough stud, but not quite HOF.

Both Mississippi boys, must be something in the water down there.

Jerry Rice, too...he played at MS Valley State.

I remember how McNair and Favre were among the athletes who worked well together to help fund relief efforts for Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina.

I listened to McNair being interviewed by Dan Patrick on ESPN radio yesterday. He sounds like a good, insightful man.

McNair cited the nagging injuries that just did not seem to heal, or at least, take weeks or months to heal. He cited the groin and sternum injuries that just lingered on during the whole season.

McNair mentioned that the sternum injury was so involved that he had difficulty sleeping because whenever he would just change positions in bed, the pain would wake him up. He found it necessary to sleep in a 45 degree angle position.

I guess if I were continually injured where I could not do a simple life function like sleep, I would certainly retire from pro sports as well.

I think the problem with some of these guys are they wait until it's already happened (permenent issues), then retire. I guess when you are in that position yourself it must be hard to see the forest for the trees.

McNair retired because the new Ravens coach John Harbaugh is such an asshole. He wanted McNair to workout like a practice squad rookie, not an aging veteran and Steve told him to shove it up his rear end.

[easy cheesy]

Unfortunately Steve is in permanent "retirement"... RIP Steve....
