Brian Dawkins retires

[gizzil]

Sadly, I think I will most remember him falling, about to get an interception after a Joe Jurevicius thumb tip... only to be foiled by Joe Jurevicius snatching the ball from him. Seriously, though. A badass leaves the game today.

He was an incredible hitter. As an Eagles fan I can remember game changing hits, some legal, some not. But you KNEW when you went over the middle against Philly, you were gonna get hit. He was a great player for Philly.

A great player in my book.

Dude would have just laughed at an additional $10,000 for a big hit on a player. They'd have to print more!!

We've been really lucky over the last 15 years to have watched 4 of the best safeties the league has seen: Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch.
