Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison was excused from practice today as he contemplated retirement, his agent said.
Harrison announced on a Fox Sports radio show that he might retire after being fined $75,000 for a hit that knocked out Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi in Sunday's game.
Yes, I'm serious.
Apparently, Harrison feels the fear of constantly being fined will prevent him from playing football the way he wants to.
But I think he's just the latest egomaniac/athlete to quit his sport because things weren't going his way.
Obviously, Harrison isn't the first guy to do it, and he certainly won't be the last. But who are the biggest quitters who came before him?
Let's take a look at the top 20 quitters in sports history.
