One of the NFL's all-time great centers is walking away from the game. Olin Kreutz, a six-time Pro Bowler, four-time All Pro, and member of the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s, has left the Saints. According to his agent, Kreutz's passion for the game just wasn't there anymore. He'd rather walk away than keep getting paid, while feeling like he wasn't contributing. From Mike Triplett at the Times-Picayune: "He decided, 'If I can't bring that same passion every day to work, I'm not gonna just sit here and collect a paycheck,'" [agent Mark] Bartelstein said. "That's the way he is. Olin's a little different than most guys. People say all the time that it's not about the money. That's really how it is with him. It never has been." XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Damn, honorable, most players won't do shit like this, they will ride it till the end, even if they aren't performing.
who? lol@honor what's so honorable in getting paid enormous sums of money to play a game period, while millions of other americans go hungry each and every year?
