Saw/heard the same thing. First thing i thought:  I'm glad I didn't draft him for my fantasy team. 

 

Yes, I think he holds himself to a high standard and he simply can't meet it anymore. I expect he will retire tomorrow. But I could be wrong.

If it's true that he is retiring due to a bad game that's pretty weak to me. Announcing that this will be his last season would be better IMO.

 

Different story if there are physical issues.

Well, two bad games, two weeks in a row. Just for clarification.

 

But I also have to believe he realizes he simply doesn't have it to play to the level he expects. Otherwise, I agree it would be weak. Given his career, I doubt it's a weak excuse.

He's been bad for a while now.  No need to just hang on for a paycheck and put his team at a disadvantage...

Wish he had retired after the 2001 regular season

Could have made that decision before the season started.

Of course.   But after futzing up the kicks today, there's no denying that he's finished and knows its time to move on...
