Ending Ugly

Several superstars will play for one time almost their entire career, then right at the end of their career they'll sign on with another team for one last hurrah. They still think they can play, but most of the time it ends ugly. 

Like Peyton Manning before him, Tom Brady was able to win a championship with his new team. A championship pretty much excludes them from this list. Here are dozens of examples. Who did I leave out?

Marcus Allen Chiefs
Steve Avery Tigers
Steve Bartkowski Rams
Fred Biletnikoff Roughriders
Drew Bledsoe Bills

I wrote this on my phone, during the second half of the Super Bowl. Pet peeve: people who call it the superbowl, or the Big Game.
