ESPN: Jets running back Martin to announce retirement this week

[mooby]

It's sad to see him retiring, but it's time. His body is worn out from all those years. I hope he continues to have a productive life, he was def. one of those underrated backs that never got the due they deserve.

As for the HOF argument, I think Faulk and Martin are first ballot HOF'ers. Faulk will def. get in, but Martin may be somewhat borderline because in a sense he was the Art Monk of running backs. He put up the stats, but he did it in a quiet demeanor and even though he's the fourth leading rusher of all time people will look past that. I don't think Tiki will make it because he had a good run of about 3 years, and he wasn't consistently great over the course of his career.
