Technically no. He just pulled a post from another broader thread and started a thread specifically on Alstott.

The court will allow this.

Well I didn't mean you literally pulled it

Plus, "technically" he didn't retire. He was placed on Injured Reserve

Well, "technically" I posted this thread prior to his announcment so I went with the lead story at the time.

ESPN just said that he hasn't retired, that he is unsure of his 2008 plans at this point.
He should retire...like i said, he has nothing else to prove.

birdz4gibbs · 08-09-2007, 01:42 PM

i,ve always liked him going back to purdue before the pros until we had to play him of course.

You people are crazy, Chris Berman is awesome!

honestly though, in Gibbs' first two years the refs were horrible to us. I mean sometimes luck will go your way and others not so much but it seemed it always went the other way.

We still made the playoffs and knocked tampa out in punishment for getting lucky.

Would tampa have been the 3rd seed that year if they hadn't gotten the call?

JWsleep · 08-09-2007, 02:21 PM

He didn't score, but he was a good player. He always hurt us, even without the refs help!

SI.com - NFL - Alstott goes on IR with neck injury that could end career - Thursday August 9, 2007 3:11PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday placed the six-time Pro Bowl fullback on injured reserve with a neck problem that Alstott said was not related to a career-threatening injury that required surgery in 2003.
"It is what it is. The facts are the facts," the 33-year-old said during an emotional press conference at the team's headquarters. "I can't put on the helmet and jersey this year."
But Alstott, arguably the most popular player in team history, couldn't bring himself to say that he may have played his last game. He shrugged off several retirement-related questions, saying that's something that will be answered in time.

I think a lot of us thought about that stupid when we saw his name. I agree as well, he didn't score. That said, he was a very good back, and we couldn't stop him lol. Therefore I am glad to see him retire, because now he can't hurt us when we play the Bucs this year. I'm sure if he had played when we played the Bucs, he would've been inserted on all the short yardage situations.
