I love this story. I really do.

Mike Scifres is probably good enough to keep punting and he's got another year left on his contract that would pay him over $4 million to come back and do it for the San Diego Chargers.

However, like many athletes preach but not many follow-through on, Scifres appears to know that he's not the dominant punter he used to be anymore and doesn't want to waste everyone's time just to collect a paycheck.
