Great player and better talker while in his prime. I was and am a huge fan of his, I wish him the best in retirement. Much like randle el, he'll be some part of the media IMO.

It was so funny when Brandon Marshall went off on him that time. I am at work so I can't get the video, but I am sure Brandon said something like, "everyone around the league knows he's soft with popcorn muscles. His name is Peezy; I don't even know what Peezy is ... (*Brandon looks at the camera*) Joey.

Laughing

But yeh - he's had a very good career, despite the recent decline.

Hated the guy in his Steeler days, but that's because he was such a good player. A guy that ran his mouth but could back it up. Much respect.

GL in retirement.

He wasn't already...?

Oh well, good for him. That 2008 season he had with us was special. Smile

The guy was a solid defensive player during his career. All the best to him in retirement.

Joey was by far my favorite player growing up. For some reason, the one play that stands in my mind was his sack of Peyton Manning in the 4th quarter of the AFC Divisional playoff game. I just remember it being such an important play (until it was overshadowed a little bit later Laughing

)
