I thought about resurrecting his thread, but decided against it. Anyway, this **** is just sad and the guy is a complete *******:

Barber is calling it a career after 16 seasons, he told Jay Glazer of FOX Sports on Wednesday. Barber made five Pro Bowls and three first-team All Pros.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

for a great career, Ronde.

Hall of Famer? I think he gets in, but barely and definitely not first ballot.

I'm gonna give him 1st ballot HOF. So what if I'm being a homer lol. Dude was a playmaker on that defense every year it was great. He made every kind of play you could need and at crucial moments (sacks, ints, fumbles). His stats also speak for him.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

I can actually see him getting in on the first attempt. Although this would depend on who else is on the ballot, I definitely think he's a sure fire HOFer.

Ronde Barber by the numbers

By Pat Yasinskas | May 8, 2013 6:26 PM

With the news that Tampa Bay defensive back Ronde Barber is retiring, let’s turn to ESPN Stats & Information to put this spectacular career into some numerical perspective.

Barber retires with a streak of 215 straight starts. That was the longest active streak in the NFL. It also was the longest streak by a defensive player since the AFL-NFL merger. Barber last missed a start in Week 10 of the 1999 season.

Barber’s starting streak is the third longest by any player to end his career since the merger. Only offensive linemen Bruce Matthews (229) and Will Shields (223) were on longer streaks to end their careers.

Barber was selected to five Pro Bowls and named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press three times.

Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, Barber is the only player to record at least 20 sacks and 40 interceptions. He had 28 sacks and 47 interceptions.

Barber’s 12 defensive touchdowns tie him with Charles Woodson and Aeneas Williams for third in NFL history. Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper are tied for first with 13.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

Congrats to a great career. I think he's a HOFer. I'm not sure if he's 1st ballot or not but he'll get in relatively quickly compared to other guys who've had to wait.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

If 99 got in on the first ballot then 20 has a slim chance. If 55 doesn't get in next year, though...

Thanks for everything John Kasay! Including giving the Patriots a short field in Super Bowl XXXVII

Yeah I'm still bitter.

As great as he was, he will always be remembered in some part by that kickoff. F'n A

Looks like Minnesota is going to play at TCF Bank Stadium for at least 2014 & 2015.

Last year the Panthers were the winners of the "First Player/Coach to Predict Going to the Super Bowl Publicly" Challenge, taking the crown from the Jets finally.

This year that honor goes to:

Just once I want the Lions to be in the news for good reasons. Is that too much to ask?

Espn is so ridiculous it's not even funny. Teo in San Diego so of course now we get Chargers camp reports.

Re: NFL Off Topic 2012

The solution to that problem is to not watch ESPN.
