Yeah I kinda thought that was a head scratcher too. If all I had to do to earn that kinda money was punt a football for 4-5 months out of the year I'd keep that job as long as possible.

As I understand it 3 knee surgeries the last couple of years and more of them on the horizon.

Re: Pat Mcafee retires?
I've never heard of a punter or kicker willingly give up his career as long as they were still offered work. If injuries are his problem, that's kind of odd coming from a punter.
What exactly is he going to do now? It won't get any easier than what he had. |

He has accepted a position with Barstool sports and i think he has a good chance of makin a career in TV and comedy.

I guess he just got bored. He could have gotten into comedy at any time after his career. It's just odd to me. |

Why not go out on your terms and do something you 1) enjoy and 2) can do for the next 10 or 20 years. |

Money isn't nearly as important to people who already have it.
