Antonio Pierce Retires and Joins ESPN

Former New York Giant middle linebacker, Antonio Pierce, has officially announced his retirement and will be joining ESPN as an NFL analyst. Pierce played nine seasons in the NFL until he was released last February by the Giants. Pierce played four season for the Washington Redskins and five seasons for the Giants. He was the Giants defensive captain for all five seasons. Pierce was elected to the Pro Bowl after the 2006 season and won a Super Bowl with the Giants against the New England Patriots in 2008. Thank you Antonio for all of the great years and professionalism. I had the chance to meet Antonio briefly after the Super Bowl win in February 2008. He was very friendly and open to his fans.
