Kurt Warner press conference 1/29 @ 3 PM EST - Expected to retire

[chester the cheetah]

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals have scheduled a Friday press conference to address Kurt Warner's future.According to Schefter, "all signs point" toward Warner hanging 'em up.  Warner, who turns 39 in June, finished the 2009 season with a 66.1 completion rate, 26:14 TD-to-INT ratio, and 3,753 passing yards. He indicated to ESPN's Rick Reilly last week that playing football had lost its fun.

Sounding like a player dead-set on retiring, Kurt Warner told ESPN's Rick Reilly that playing football has lost its fun."You have a game that isn't that great and people are like, 'What's wrong with Warner?' That wears on you," Warner said. "You don't have the joy and the fun and satisfaction of having one of those great games because everybody expects you to. You never get to exhale." Warner, who turns 39 in June, has been named NFL MVP twice, played in three Super Bowls, and made a strong case for Hall-of-Fame enshrinement. Reilly, for what it's worth, came away from the interview convinced Warner is done.

One of the greatest QB's I've had the privilege of watching play the game. Hats off to Kurt.

[IATT]

a 1st in this draft and a conditional round pick (anywhere from 2nd-4th based on playing time) in next years draft to the eagles for mcnabb

 

[proshares]

Hopefully he does, don't need to see him take any more hits like the one he did against NO.

Great career and a first ballot HOFer.

 

[eneyekayee]

Dudes saying "good riddance" and "kick rocks"?

This dude is one of the classiest human beings to ever play professional sports.

ehh good qb in the big picture, not nearly as great as everyone says his is nowadays.

2002STL7 144 220 65.5 1431 6.5 3 43 11 67.4
2003STL2 38 65 58.5 365 5.6 1 37 1 72.9
2004NYG10 174 277 62.8 2054 7.4 6 62 4 86.5
2005ARI10 242 375 64.5 2713 7.2 11 63 9 85.8
2006ARI6 108 168 64.3 1377 8.2 6 64 5 89.3

5 good seasons is not a HOF in my opinion. he had a lot of years where he was terrible. i wouldn't vote for him for the HOF. ever.

Like that is any worse than going to the playoffs because the last two games a team plays are against the other teams practice squads.
