Kerry Collins retires

Post by andy7171 »

16 year career. SIXTEEN!!!!

He went to high school with a running back on my team. He came down to Towson one winter for the weekend in 1991. He was the cockiest asshole I've ever met. So much so he ended up talking himself into a fight with my roommates, our two offensive tackles. It had just snowed a foot so when they took it outside, in the cold air he realized what he had gotten himself into. And ran away down Kenilworth Ave. :lol:
I can still hear him yelling, "If we were in State College and my linemen were here, you wouldn't be doing this."
He eventually came back and we ambushed him with snowballs in the parking lot. My one roommate tackled him and pile drived him in a pile of plowed snow.
He slept in his car.
What an asshole he was. :nod:
"Elaine, you're from Baltimore, right?"
"Yes, well, Towson actually."

He was a dick when he played for Carolina too. Never had much use for him, but cudos for getting through 16 seasons.

Separated at birth?

I was just looking at his career numbers and was surprised to see that he (very quietly, IMO) amassed 40,000 career passing yards. Only one of 12 QBs all time. His name looks out of place among that group. (Of course, he played longer seasons than a lot of guys on the list).
