Dante Culpepper Calls it Quits After 9 Seasons - Blog tmdfilms.tv: "Former 3 time NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Dante Culpepper decided to retire this morning (9-4-08) when there seemed to be no interest in him around the league.
Culpepper played for 9 seasons in the NFL with 142 touchdowns, 94 interceptions, and 22,422 yards. He started is career in 1999 with the Minnesota Vikings and was at his best in the 2004 year when he threw for 39 touchdowns and had 4,717 yards. The very next year he had an knee injury that would put him out for the whole year. He would never play the same again.
In 2006 he played for the Miami Dolphins, playing in only 4 games and got sacked 21 times (yes you read that right) before going out that year with the same injury.
The next year he would get another opportunity with the Oakland Raiders where he started 5 games and only threw 5 touchdowns before losing his job. And this year he waited and waited for someone to have some interest in him but there seemed to be no takers. I personally don't understand that because we still have teams like the Bears and the 49ers out there who could really use a quarterback right now. Dante Culpepper is still pretty young and has plenty of time to decide what else he wants to do with his life. Just please don't let me see him on 'Dancing With The Stars' like the other NFL players. Whatever he does, we wish him good luck. Until then, this is King Drell signing out.
TMD Bitches!!!"
