Kurt Warner’s career was full of surprises, but he did the expected Friday, officially announcing that he is walking away from the game.
Warner reportedly wanted to get the question out of the way before appearing at the Super Bowl next for promotional appearances.
“Obviously, it’s been 12 unbelievable years, some of the best years of my life,” Warner said Friday. “I don’t think I could have dreamt it would have played out like it has. . . . But I want everybody to know that I’m just as excited about the next 12, that I’m excited about what lies in front of me. I’m excited about spending more time with my family, and seeing what God’s going to do next.”
Warner thanked God, then brought his entire family (all seven children) up to the stage to tearfully thank them.
It was a unique moment in a career that has been unlike any we’ve seen.
“I wanted people to remember that anything is possible,” Warner said.
