NFL Great Kurt Warner Announces Retirement

Jan. 21, 2010

Kurt Warner, one of the greatest, most spectacular quarterbacks of all-time, announced his retirement on Friday.

Warner, a two-time MVP, Super Bowl winner, and the greatest passer in NFL playoff history, said he wants to spend more time with his family.

Warner became one of the greatest sports stories of the modern era, rising from grocery store stock boy, to NFL Super Bowl MVP.

He took the troubled St. Louis Rams franchise from the cellar of the NFC West all the way to Super Bowl champions in 1999. Since he left the team, the Rams have never been the same, with losing season after losing season.
Warner then took the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl in 2009, infusing energy and life into a franchise that had never been to the Super Bowl.

Warner has the three best passing games in Super Bowl history. He appears to be a lock for the NFL's Hall of Fame, and could move into the broadcast booth or eventually a head coach position.
