Appropriately, Green announced his retirement through his former coach Dick Vermeil. Green’s decision was made on Friday morning.

While with the Kansas City Chiefs under Vermeil, Green had the best seasons of his NFL career. In 2004, he had 4,591 passing yards and 27 passing touchdowns.

For his career, Green had 28,475 passing yards, 162 touchdowns, 114 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 86.

After leaving the Chiefs, Green played with the Miami Dolphins in 2007 and the St. Louis Rams last year.

As told to Fox Sports, Green said: “I feel this is finally the right time. I’ve talked about it with (my family) for a while, especially with the concussions over the last few years. We all felt it was the time to do it.”

Trent Green Decides to Retire

Mike Gundy   The rant heard ’round the Internet last fall made him a target of both support and ridicule.

Trent Green   The 2007 QB for the Miami Dolphins just got canned. Ouch! This makes him the fourth consecutive quarterback on the team’s chopping block.

A-Rod   We need to qualify this one, given our Red Sox loyalty: This guy needs a hug from Yankees fans (not us) . . . he’s not exactly a crowd favorite come October. 

Joe Torre   Yeah, the former Yankee skipper landed on his feet with the LA Dodgers, but we still think the Steinbrenners treated him worse than a half-blind umpire.

Bill Belichick   We don’t care what color hoodie he’s wearing, we have a soft spot for the guy. The same can’t be said for the press and public outside New England.

Latrell Sprewell   When an ex-NBA star’s home is in foreclosure and his yacht is sold at auction, you know he’s seen better days.

Barry Bonds   Imagine being the Homerun King and being regarded as a bum rather than a hero? He made his own bed, but boy . . . we wouldn’t want to be Barry.

Roger Clemens   Sure, we’ve had a blast poking fun at him, but did you ever stop and think . . . what if he’s not guilty?

Braydon Coburn   This defenseman for the Philadelphia Flyers is sidelined with a torn buttock artery. Need we say more?

And finally, ESPN anchor and YouTube sensation Chris Berman, who’s had some bad days at the office lately (1m, 22s, adult language):
