Curtis Martin is finally set to call it a career this week as it's being reported that he will finally announce his retirement this week. During my 24 years on this earth there has never been a better player to wear a Jet uniform and through the shitty years and the good years he was always one glimmer of hope wearing green. He wraps up his career as the fourth leading rusher of all time and holds the record for most consecutive 1000 yard seasons to start a career with Barry Sanders at 10.
The reason why Curtis never gets any love as one of the best backs of all time, or even one of the best backs of his generation is evident by searching for videos on youtube of him. The guy was just not a highlight reel. He didn't have blazing speed or incredible Barry Sanders like moves, what he did have was a nose to get the extra yard on every single play and an unparalleled work ethic.
So in the end when you go to find some kind of highlight for Curtis, this is what you get, a weird commercial with Tiki Barber.
