| 10th January, 2008 - 9:53 am |  St. Petersburg Times - Bucs' fullback Mike Alstott is known for his straight-ahead running style, and he didn't dance around a question about his future Wednesday.
A more formal announcement may come later, but Alstott gave every indication his 12-year career is likely over.
Promoting a charity event on radio station 620-AM, Alstott said he has no plans to have a second neck operation in order to play next season.
"I guess you can read between the lines," Alstott said. "Couple neck injuries. I have a young family and a life to live, so I can't be selfish in that regard and say, 'Hey, let me go to get some type of surgery or something like that and try to fix the thing and go on.' I'm having fun doing what I'm doing right now with some other activities I'm involved with - hanging out with family, being part of my kids' lives in an everyday aspect."
Alstott, 33, said no surgery is required if he chooses not to play football, adding "it wouldn't be worth it." [READ] |
