[quote] Former Chargers/Jets RB LaDainian Tomlinson held an emotional press conference today to announce the signing of a one-day contract that would allow him to officially retire as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite never having actually played for that particular team.[/quote] What? [quote]“It means so much to me to officially end my career here in the great city of Pittsburgh where I spent, what was it, like five of six games during my career? Four as a Charger and two as a Jet, I think?” said Tomlinson, choking back tears.[/quote]Is he serious?[quote]“Holy crap, we can do that?” asked former NFL greats Dan Marino, Warren Moon, and Barry Sanders, who each then filed paperwork with the league to resume their playing careers just long enough to formally retire as members of the Patriots, 49ers, and Cowboys, respectively.[/quote]
Discuss this not funny joke...
I guess.

So they are giving him a contract to make him a Steeler just long enough to retire him?
