Where they ended up

[hogman14]

Friend of mine and I were talking last night about the proverbial last stop for athletes, more notably the ones that you either "almost felt bad for" or said "no way, let me look that up"

Example
Bobby Orr - Blackhawks
Robert Parish - Bulls (not even Hornets)
Patrick Ewing - Magic
Carton Fisk - White Sox
Dwight Evans - Orioles (more of a local one but any NE area guys will remember this one)

We debated "ones that count" for example either the journeyman who bounced around, or just the money grabbers a la Rickey Henderson...

Feel free to post, I know some of the ones we came up with last night were good for a few laughs.

Joe Namath the Rams

Kenny Stabler New Orleans.

I have some football cards, and people used to bring him up, and I used to always say how he was a Saint, and people would look at me cross eyed for that one...

Gordie Howe Hartford Whalers

hogman, do you think that Deion belongs on the list ?

He went to the highest bidder by splitting his time between SF & Dallas before winding up at Balt.....

Jerry Rice - Broncos
Deion Sanders - Ravens
(H)Akeem Olajuwon - Raptors

Wow, did not remember the Dream going to the Raptors.

The thing is though, and this is where most are debatable...you can actually remember him playing mercenary for those two teams...few remember him as a Raven...

Remember the dream as a raptor, guy retired mid game i think...

 

[hogman14]

Randall Cunningham - Raven
Warren Moon - Chief/Seahawk
Bill Walton - Celtics (arguable)...really is better if the guy wasn't successful there...
Eddie George - Cowboys
