Retireing

Marshall Faulk(RB, Rams)will officially on March 26th at the NFL Team owners meeting. He was sidelined with a knee injury all of this past season, he lost his starting position in the 2005-2006 season to Steven Jackson(current RB, Rams). Faulk had a lucrative career that started in Indianapolis then moved to St. Louis where he won a Super Bowl. He was a Pro Bowl (4x's) and league MVP(4x's). He is ninth in career rushing with 12,000+ yards and 100 touchdowns. He also set the record for 4 consecutive with 1,000 yards rushing/1,000 receiving. I think its sad to see such great players go so abruptly. Example: Robert Smith(vikings), *Barry Sanders(Lions), and recently Tiki Barber(Giants). *[Sanders was one of the greatest I have ever seen he had retired early] I am sure there plenty others.
