Aaron Maybin retired from the CFL today.
No major sources are covering it because he sucks.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Is this meant to be that sappy "closure" thing that has been chatted about for a couple of decades?

If by closure you mean every door was shut on his face than yes.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

He's from this area. I'll probably buy a hot dog from him at Nationals Park later this summer.Comment

An end to a long and distinguished career.

Re: Aaron Maybin retires
If no one wants you on their team, is that really retirement?
I'd like to announce my retirement from the NFL, NBA, and my presidential run then.Comment
