on sunday, mack strong, fullback for the seattle seahawks, ran and hit for the seahawks for the last time... his 15 year career here in seattle came to an end when in the first quarter against the pittsburgh steelers he ran and blocked as he has so many times before... only this time he knew it was different... he knew it was over... he incurred a spinal injury... the doctors told him that if he stops playing the game he loves, his neck would heal and have no further complications.... the choice was simple... mack retired... right then... for him the choice was simple...
mack will be remembered for many things here in seattle... his unselfish football... he blocked for 3 different 1000 yard rushers in his career... his commitment to his family... his commitment to his church... his commitment to his community... i watched a interview with him today and instead of being discouraged and upset, he just views this as the next step... he was thankful and grateful...
