Number 13 is retiring.
Kurt Warner has announced his decision to retire from the NFL. Such a great guy on and off the field.

1. Good career
And I saw him play...in Arena ball, with the Iowa Barnstormers. Nobody knew then that he'd be a hall of fame NFL QB.
He apparently puts his money where his mouth is, so to speak, because he does a lot of charity work, but I also witnessed him blowing off some kids who wanted his autograph at a local bowling alley. Yeah, he has a right to privacy, but these kids were not being rude and merely wanted Warner to autograph a couple of football cards. So I have mixed feelings about him. Great qb, real religious guy as opposed to a poser, but why did he have to blow off those kids?

2. The "Hero" label is a bit much
As reported by KCRG and the Cedar Rapids Gazette. He's a football player, not a hero. The rescue teams in Haiti are heroes. There's a big difference.

3. Personally I am tired of him and his god.
