Kurt Warner Retires

Today was an especially emotional day for me as my favorite quarterback of all time Kurt Warner announced his retirement from the NFL. After a 12 year career and over 30,000 career passing yards and two MVP awards and a Super Bowl championship, Kurt Warner is retiring at age 38 to spend time with his family and move into ministry and broadcasting. Rams owner Chip Rosenbloom said of Kurt Warner, "Kurt Warner epitomizes the finest qualities that can be attributed to any athlete. He is a gentleman, competitor and, most of all, a winner whose achievements and contributions go far beyond the field of play." Kurt Warner started his career with the St. Louis Rams and later played for the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals and led both the Rams and the Cardinals to the Super Bowl winning MVP honors in the Rams victory in Super Bowl 34. I and many Rams fans will always remember number 13 and never forget the great years he played in St. Louis. Next stop...the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Thanks for the memories Kurt....we love you.
