Thanks For The Memories..

Priest Holmes announced his retirement today.. After battling hip injury in 2004, and then the neck injury that has kept him away from the game for the last 2 seasons.. It was really nice to watch him over the last few weeks.. but I always found myself wondering when he would get tackled.. would he get back up.. while Im sad to see him retire.. Im  glad to see that Priest realizes there is life after football.. and he is walking away from the game.. while he is still somewhat healthy.. I hope he stays around the game.. maybe as a broadcaster, *he cant be any worse the Emmitt*, or maybe a running back coach somewhere.. Thanks for the memories Priest.. You will be missed!

Some Stats from his career..

The Kansas City franchise’s all-time leader in total touchdowns (83) and rushing touchdowns (76), Holmes set a then-league record by scoring 27 times in 2003. That record has since been broken.

In 106 appearances, Holmes has carried 1,780 times for 8,172 yards and 86 touchdowns. One of the NFL’s premier all-around backs in his prime, the former University of Texas star also has 339 receptions for 2,962 yards and eight touchdowns. He has posted four seasons with 1,000 yards rushing, including three years with more than 1,400 yards.
