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.

How much do you have to save for a child?
You could hardly believe how much you have to spend on raising a child nowadays. But research shows that you need to save every possible penny if you are planning to have a child in near future. No cigarettes, no club activity, no out dinner and even no Terry Bradshaw jersey even if you are eager to have one to watch your beloved team playing football game. Oh, yeah watch it on TV instead of buying the tickets.
According to recent research, raising a child to maturity will cost about $200,000 in nowadays. The costs include expenses on child care, education, health care, transportation and housing. Among these expenses, child care accounts for 17% of the total expenses, education accounts for 16% and housing makes up 30%. The money spent on housing is mainly used to add an extra bedroom for the child. The $200,000 only covers the spending on a kid under age 17, and your financial support to your kid before he/she lives independently could be another huge expense.
The high cost could be a good reason to explain the popularity of DINK family and it also supports DINK people’s opinion on their life style. For those who look forward to traditional family life, the high cost could serve as a strong motivation for them to work even harder.

Terry Bradshaw showed interest in coaching job
As a former star quarterback of the National Football League with an experience of leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl victories, Terry Bradshaw recently thought he was qualified to work for the NFL again as a quarterback coach or something like that.
After retiring from the NFL, Bradshaw spent most part of his retirement life as a TV show host. He has been much less popular since taking off the honored No.12 Terry Bradshaw jersey and always appeared jealous when seeing new star quarterbacks attract much more attention to him. But he never gave up reminding people of himself and his past as a star quarterback. However, after some initial controversies on his harsh comment about other quarterbacks, people soon got fed up with his show. We can still hear of Bradshaw’s name sometimes, but it always appeared with another much more popular guy. So recently Bradshaw showed his intention to return to NFL to regain his popularity.
I’m not sure working as a quarterback coach could help Bradshaw receive more attention from the public, but at least he could have authority to make comments on the quarterbacks he is going to coach, and what he says of his quarterback could be more taken more seriously by people. However, I don’t see his chance to be employed by any NFL team; after all, being a good quarterback does not necessarily mean the qualification to be a good QB coach. And Bradshaw could just be better fit for a TV show host.
