Where do elephants go to die? Somewhere there's a pile of tusks higher than Mount Kilimanjaro. But what about great athletes we all remember the glory years, Unitas with the Colts, Montana with the Niners, Carlton with the Phillies, or Jordan with the Bulls. Where do great careers go to die? Like victims of childhood abuse we repress the memories of our heroes in the wrong uniform, reject the notion they hung on too long, or didn't know when to hang them up. Like a horror movie where a hand bursts out of the ground and grabs the surviving Barbie's ankle, right when you thought it was over, we bring you;
