Titans Steve Hutchinson Retires

Steve Hutchinson is going to announce today that he is retiring. Usually we don't give a lot of love to offensive linemen, but this is a future Hall of Famer and deserves his moment in the sun. This is the guy that was part of an offensive line that helped Shaun Alexander rush for an average of 1,550 yards a season over 5 years.

During his 12 year career Hutchinson never missed a game. That is just incredible to me. He has 7 Pro Bowl's, and my guess is that he will be in the Hall of Fame as soon as he is eligible. 

Mariano Rivera To Retire After This Season

Can you blame him? Everyone on the team is either getting injured or being linked to steroids. This year is sure to be a really long year for the Yankees as they might be right with the Red Sox at the bottom of the AL East looking up at the Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays.

Mariano Rivera is one of the few Yankees I respect, that's not saying I like him, I just respect him. he perfected a craft off of one pitch and was the best of all time doing it.

he has one more year to build on his 608 saves that he has accrued over the years.

On another topic, can it please stop fucking snowing? This is ridiculous. I'm tired of this nonsense.

Ryan Westmoreland Retires

Outfielder Ryan Westmoreland, a Rhode Island native once considered the top prospect in the Red Sox organization, ended his comeback from two brain surgeries and announced his retirement Wednesday.

Such a sad story. He had the first brain surgery and tried to make a comeback, but after the 2nd it just isn't possible. He has a hard time with normal day-to-day activities.  At one point in his career he was a top 25 MLB prospect, and really looked like someone who could have a bright future for the Red Sox. It just sucks that we will never get to see what he could've been. Hopefully he will be healthy enough and be able to turn the page in his life. He is just 23 years old, maybe the Red Sox can get him a job as a scout or something, as they seem to have done everything they can to take care of him.

Kevin Garnett Hints At Retirement

Kevin Garnett said last night that his 14th All-Star Game appearance on Sunday in Houston will also be his last, though the Celtics forward stopped short of saying he was retiring at the end of the season.
Garnett, realizing he had just set off an alarm, then turned cryptic. He has two years remaining on his contract.
“This is definitely my last All-Star Game,” he said. “Ya’ll don’t know what I know. I’m more than grateful, and I’m not going to act like I have more All-Star Games in me. I’ll enjoy this one with friends and family. That’s what I meant.”

Sure he doesn't come out and say that he's retiring, but this will be my last All Star game means something. He knows, I know, we all know that the Celtics great run led by KG and Paul Pierce has to come to an end soon, right? I mean this is year 7 of a 3 year plan with these guys. I love KG, when he came here, I was the happiest person in the world. I still can't hear the Time after Time song without getting this awesome feeling (I think thats the song name). He has changed the whole culture surrounding Boston basketball, put them back on the map, took us from a 24 win team to 2 NBA finals appearances and making noise in the playoffs every year. When he retires we will no longer have the, "well KG will whip that guy into shape mentality".

I don't know what the Celtics will do, I can hope they let the band stick together, but I know Danny is forever dealing. I want to see KG and Paul Pierce retire as Celtics, I want to see them win another one, but it's not that easy with the superpower Heat and others.

Either way, I have thoroughly enjoyed this run and will never forget the loyalty, heart and the way he always put his teammates first.

Donald Driver Retires

After 14 years in the NFL, I have decided to retire. It's been an amazing journey, thank you for all of your love and support! #Packer4Life

Driver knew his days in Green Bay were numbered, and he didn't want to play for another team. Guy is a class act to the high degree, and is so loved in Green Bay. It's amazing they already have a statue of him there. You don't see that very often.

Driver is a three-time Pro Bowler and leaves as the Packers's all-time receiver with 743 receptions to go with a franchise-high 10,137 yards and 61 touchdowns. In a time when a lot of players have a "yea, but" somewhere in this history, Driver to my knowledge has had no off the field problems, and has been known for his incredible charity work.

I really can't see how anyone wouldn't like this guy.
