Due to what happened today my top ten list is easy. Top ten guys who didn't know when to walk away, and stay away.
1) Brett Farve- Really Brett, come on. Please, just go away, no one player has done more to hurt their career in the last few years then him.
2) Gordie Howe- We all love Mr Hockey but he played for the Detroit Vipers, for a sift, in like 99, just to keep a decade streak going.
3) Roger Clemons- Like Farve they should look up the word retired, and find out what it means. I am glad he has actually kind of gone away this year, thanks steroids
4) Emmitt Smith- The Cards, yeah, that's how I remember him.
5) Jerry Rice- As much as I like Rice, the Raiders, and Seahawks, come on Jerry.
6) Michael Jordan- He had the picture perfect end to his career as the greatest basketball player ever, and then he came back as a wizard. The first retirement I will give him a pass on, he wanted to try baseball, it didn't work, he came back and won 3 more times, the second time.. not so much.
7) John Unitis- One of the greatest QB's of all time didn't end his career with the Colts like he should. He was a Charger.
8) John Riggins- Had so many great years in Wash, won super bowls, and then ended his career as a Jet.
9) John Smoltz- Would be nice if he retired a Brave.. and you know what.. he still may, just after a few stops in between first. John, really, walk away.
10) Rickey Henderson- He was the self promoted greatest of all time, but he also stuck around way too long.
there are way more, I'm sure I forgot a lot, so let me know, who you think should be on the list. I know there are plenty more baseball guys who hung on at the end. I'm right, you're wrong.
