退休聲明: (via NFL.com)
"Let me begin by apologizing for making this announcement via a statement and
not in person. While I truly respect the significance of this, those who know
me best will understand and not be surprised that I choose not to have a
press conference for this announcement.
首先，我必須為我宣布退休的方式向各位道歉。雖然我能理解這深大的意義，然而
最了解我的人能夠理解為什麼我寧願低調，也不願意開記者會宣布。
"After much prayer, thought and discussion with loved ones, I have made the
difficult decision to retire from the Lions and pro football. I have played
my last game of football.
經過漫長且多次的與親友討論後，在打了生涯最後一役後，我決定結束我在雄獅隊
以及美式足球的生涯，從此退休。
"Let me assure you that this was not an easy or hasty decision. As I stated,
I, along with those closest to me, have put a lot of time, deliberation and
prayer into this decision and I truly am at peace with it.
我必須說這是個非常艱難且經考慮的決定。如我所言，我和我的親友在抉擇過程中花了
諸多心思而我也坦然接受這一切。
"I also want you to know that I have the utmost respect and admiration for
the game of football. It has provided so much for me and my family and I will
be forever grateful to the game.
同時，我也希望各位能夠理解我對美式足球的熱愛以及崇高的敬意。他給了我和我的家人
許多寶貴的經驗。對此，我感到十分感激。

like to thank. I must start with my family
