Kurt Warner
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner sounds more and more like he is ready to retire.
The 38-year-old Super Bowl winner seems burned out on the rigors of playing the game at its highest level.
“The three hours on Sundays are still fun,” Warner told ESPN’s Rick Reily. “But it’s the whole week, the whole commitment, the ability to sustain it to your fullest, day in and day out.”
He has said time and again that he wants to be able to live a healthy life after he walks away. And it sounds like he’s about ready to walk away now.
As a devout Christian, Warner is now turning to God to help him with his decision. He wants God to help him stop loving to play football.
“I pray that God takes away the desire in me to play this game,” he said. “I’ve loved it for so long. I need Him to take that away from me, so that I can be comfortable with this decision.”
If he does get a message from a higher power, expect it to be relayed to us in the near future.
