When we visited with Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez at the Super Bowl, he said he definitely would be back for another season in 2011.

But if there’s no season in 2011, Gonzalez now says he would likely walk away from the game.

“Would I sit out a whole season and come back — probably not, honestly,” Gonzalez told Clifton Brown of Sporting News.

Well if this is it for him then it's unfortanate he was never able to win a super bowl.

Well, Tony, blame the possibility of an abbreviated or cancelled season on a premature decertification.

A super bowl? How about a playoff game?

I don't think TG has ever won one in all his years in the league.

Kinda been wondering the same about Ray-Ray. He looked his age last year.

Terrible ending to a great career.

You always hate to see a guy retire before he is ready. Especially when it's something stupid like greed that is causing it.

I didn't realize that. Amazing for the best tight end to ever play.
