The Facts:
Martin hasn't officially announced his Hall of Fame career is over, but a lawsuit filed in federal court yesterday made it clear he's done. Martin revealed in the complaint that he's totally disabled due to a knee injury and is suing Lloyd's of London for refusing to pay him the $5 million in coverage he purchased from the insurance company in 2005.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In a claim filed last summer, Martin informed the insurer: "On or about Dec.14, 2005, plaintiff became permanently disabled as a result of a single and unexpected event, a hit to his knee, during a professional football game ... and resulted in plaintiff's total disability." He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on that date. The last game he played was Dec.4, 2005. Look for an official retirement announcement this summer.
