Disappointing news if it's legit.

After that horrific injury, good thing he can still walk. Hopefully, he did get his degree and can use that to provide for his family.

I remember watching that injury live on TV .. It was horrible. So sad, but it is the nature of a dangerous sport .. Wishing him the best of luck in the future.

One of the more sickening injuries I have seen. Ranks with Prothro's and Theismann's.

Kevin Ware's was pretty brutal too. First time I ever saw bone on live TV .. You hate to see any guys or gals get hurt in sports, but man that one got me ..

The first one I ever saw on live TV was Joe Theismann's leg snapping on Monday Night Football! Seeing that white sock turning blood red from the compound break!

Sad news indeed. I was hoping he would be able to work his way back because he was an awesome running back. I guess when you look at it he has made a magical run to get to the NFL and remain in a roster for a few years. Pretty remarkable even if he does retire. Hopefully he has his degree or goes back to South Carolina and gets it through scholarship.

I wish him well in whatever he decides to do.
