The Miami Dolphins nose guard Jason Ferguson is no longer worrying about the eight-game suspension he received from the National Football League. He is now actually an ex-NFL player as he has announced to retire on Thursday, saying farewell to the league and ending his 13-season career.
“You get what you put into this game," Ferguson said. "I would like to thank my family, the fans and the organizations that I have been a part of for their continued support throughout my career, it’s been an absolute blessing to play this long. I have built a lot of relationships, you develop an extended family playing this game; I would like to thank that extended family, the teammates, the coaches, the support staffs that have all played a part of a great ride.”
Finishing his career with 569 tackles, 21 1/2 sacks, 12 pass deflections, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, Ferguson now feels relaxed and said he was going to watch some NFL games this regular season. He could be seen in his favorite Terry Bradshaw jersey while his wife and kids could be wearing Brett Favre jerseys as they are all loyal Vikings fans.

Vikings Fans are raising money to help gulf residents
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has attracted a lot of attention from the world, and a lot of people and groups are making their effort to help recover the communities there. Following the New Orleans Saints who visited the communities, the Minnesota Vikings fans are also raising money for the recovery.
According to reports, an online community of Vikings fans is selling members’ precious collection of Vikings products to raise money to help gulf residents recover from the oil spill. The autographed Brett Favre jerseys are most popular among the thousands of items related to Vikings. One such jersey on auction was bought by a long-time fan at a high price of $1,000. Some other jerseys of other Vikings players were bought at different prices. By doing so, the community hopes to raise as much as $50,000 to donate to the gulf recovery groups.
There are also other NFL teams doing what they can do to help these unfortunate residents. Even President Obama made statement on his attitude toward the incident and BP, the company who caused the oil spill. By so far, there has not been confirmative or apologetic claim from UK government and anger of Americans is increasing.
