Cody Zeller, You Have To Retire Now, Those Are The Rules
Watching Kristaps Porzingis do anything is a delight. We could talk about his outrageous shooting, where he’s added volume but only increased in efficiency. We could talk about how players only shoot 35 percent at the rim when he’s lurking there. Or we could just watch this:...
Andre Ward Announces Retirement
Andre Ward, the light heavyweight considered by many to be the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, has announced his retirement....
Wayne Rooney Announces Retirement From England National Team
Wayne Rooney appears to be in the early stages of a career renaissance after leaving Manchester United for Everton this summer, so it’s a little odd that he’d pick this time to announce that he has declined a call-up with the England team and instead has decided to officially retire from internation...

In March, the Jaguars sent a 2018 seventh-round pick to the Dolphins for Pro-Bowl left tackle Branden Albert.

The Undertaker Leaves The Ring For (Probably) The Last Time
Rumors—and common sense, given that he’s 52 years old—suggested The Undertaker’s final appearance for WWE would be at tonight’s Wrestlemania in Orlando. And so it seems, as the Deadman stripped himself of gloves, cloak, and hat while breaking kayfabe to kiss his wife upon leaving the ring following ...

Goodbye To Javier López, The Giants' Unsung Badass<em></em>
The San Francisco Giants won three World Series between 2010 and 2014, and each was nerve-wracking in its own way. In 2010 they qualified for the postseason on the final day, and had an inordinate amount of playoff games decided by a single run; in 2012 they went down 0-2 in the NLDS and 1-3 in the ...
The End Of Bernard Hopkins
Bernard Hopkins, a man I both like and admire, generally, if selectively, tells the truth. But he has some cinematic set pieces, one of which involves a story of being taken aside at the time of his release from Graterford Prison and told by the warden, “I’ll see you back here in six months.”...
Kevin Garnett Retires, Makes The NBA A Little More Sane And A Lot Less Fun

After Nearly Two Whole Months Away, Lionel Messi Comes Out Of International Retirement
It seems like so long ago, when we thought we’d said our final goodbye to Lionel Messi’s international career.

Amar'e Stoudemire, Who Was Fun As All Hell, Is Retiring

Kobe Bryant is the patron saint of volume shooters forever and ever amen, and he really went out and Did The Shit tonight, ending his career with an insane, revelatory game in which he scored 60 points on 50 shots in a win over the Jazz. 60 points! 50 shots! What the hell man!...
