lionel turner retires?

fins web site reports L.T. retires from football. Is this the same LT?

 

Sure is....would really like to know more about what happened.

 

Damn. He beat Rickey's record.

 

I thought Lawrence Taylor was already behind bars for cocaine.

 

In honor of Turner, we should all replay OU's last drive in the Sugar Bowl, and experience the greatest moment of almost all of our sport's lives -- when Turner laid out White on the delayed blitz. :crystal:

The memory of the Dome roaring will be forever etched in my brain. :geauxtige

 

Now that I have confirmation on the story it's time to get serious. What the heck happened? He is awesome.

Dolphins website only has this to say:

I don't understand...why would a 23 y/o retire?... this is mind boggling

 

usually its a lack of interest or a health matter.


or simply realizing you can't cut it.

 

damn that sucks... maybe he just didn't want to play for Saban again.


hahaha

 

I know how much everyone wants to think how glorious the athlete's life is, but if you're making the league minimum who says it's worth it to get beat up in practice every day by nfl guys and never get on the field... I mean, he's got a degree right? maybe he just wants a career?
