The Jets are dismissing a Star-Ledger report that Curtis Martin won't be returning this year and is close to retiring.
Allow me to be the first to say: Ummm… so?
Why is this even a story? It's either: 33-year-old running back with knee problems might retire! Or: Past-his-prime athlete may try to hang on a little longer! Could I be less surprised either way?
But I guess I can see how it's pertinent, because the Jets are contending for the playoffs this year. What's that? They lost to the Browns? Oh. Well, then. I guess if you need me, I'll be over there, not caring.
