Courageous guy. I hope his future is not full of pain and suffering from the injuries he's had.

[Raven07]

no i sure hope not.......after all.........he does have a SuperBowl Ring. From when he played with us in the year 2000. Plus i would expect that He will continue to fight, seeing how he is a fighter and will go through anything to get/reach his set goal he has in his mind. I would expect him to either become a NFL broadcaster, NFL Analyst, OR commentator of the games.....Plus if he doesnt do that kind of thing....then there's always the possibility of him Coaching a team.

which could very well happen.

It's pretty incredible that he managed to come back, regardless of how long. Brave dude.

[Raven07]

yes it was....i have the ut-most respect for the guy....plus he was a Raven at one point and even won a SuperBowl Ring with us, so yea i feel for him....hopefully he'll move forward from this and Further his post-Football career, still in the NFL...(Coach, Analyst or something of that particular field)

[Raven07]

as expected....Holmes Retired from the NFL Wednesday...after suffering another neck injury. and after much intensive thought....whether to play 1 game, 3 games or 8 games....
