He was my favorite RB because of that game. I used to argue with friends and say he was going to be better than Reggie Bush in the NFL. I was right.

Glad to see him hang it up. The end wasn't pretty.

Example 376 of elite RBs nosediving at the end. His physical running style really hurt his explosiveness the final two years, clearly there was nothing left in the tank.

Marshawn has 1 more elite season in him, but there is definitely cause for concern. Hopefully one of the younger backs can handle a higher percentage of the carries early in the year so he'll remain fresh for the playoffs. Not that the seahawks would need him at the 1 or anything.

When it comes to UCLA athletes that change their name,

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar > Maurice Jones-Drew > Karim Abdul-Jabbar
