After 7 years in the NFL, I am retiring. I would like to thank the Minnesota Vikings for giving me an opportunity to make the team after going undrafted in 2008. I experienced a great deal of growth both as a football player and as a person during my 4 years in Minnesota. Thank you. The Kansas City Chiefs will forever have a special place in my heart. After sitting out of football to fulfill my Hajj Pilgrimage in 2012, The Chiefs were the first to call. The three years I spent playing for KC may have been the most enjoyable football experience in my entire life. Thank you. There are numerous deciding factors in my decision, with personal health being foremost. Sitting for five weeks last year after suffering the fifth concussion of my career, I had a lot to contemplate. My goals moving forward are to be of benefit to my family, my community, my country and hopefully the world. Having a sound mind will be vital in accomplishing these goals. Thank you to everyone I've crossed paths with during my time as a player. You've had an impact on my life for the better. Thanks for the love and support. It's greatly appreciated. #chiefskingdom #Peace✌????️

The Andy Carlson Show is a 5-day a week podcast that talks Sport.... And Other Stuff. The brainchild of the loser behind the Purple FTW! Podcast (dedicated to the pain AND pleasure that is the Minnesota Vikings), the Dad Mode Podcast (common sense parenting in a politically correct world), as well as fondly remembered shows like Andy Must Di, Football Convos with Andy Carlson and the Claire vs Carlson Show. Andy's an avid fan of TV, movies, pop culture and just laughing and making fun of things in general. He unfortunately supports the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Gophers and is slowly starting to get into hockey and the Wild. Andy's also a clean foods advocate and flirting with the idea of veganism. Which makes him.... UNBEARABLE to be around in social settings. Whatever happens in the future, know that he'll probably be behind a microphone and being a jackass about it. Thanks for stopping in and giving the show a listen.
