Sports Thread #1 For 1/29/10: Kurt Warner Retires

By -

After a 12 year career filled with an unbelievable rise from nowhere, a fall into journeyman status, only to stunningly reemerged as one of the game's elite again, Kurt Warner has decide to retire from the National Football League.

Though Warner's prominence with the St. Louis Rams lead to that improbable championship 10 years ago in Super Bowl XXXIV, probably more impressive in many people's minds was his ability to revive his seemingly declining career by being another struggling franchise to prominence. Thought of as a mentor to Matt Leinart's development, Warner out of nowhere refound his "Greatest Show on Turf" form to lead the Arizona Cardinals within a remarkable Pittsburgh Steelers drive of winning last year's Super Bowl.

Now all the pressure will be on Matt Leinart to perform in order to keep the Cardinals franchise to the high place that Warner has helped place it.
