Ex-Raiders K Janikowski retiring after 19 seasons

Sebastian Janikowski told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday that, after 19 seasons, he is retiring from NFL at the age of 41.

"It was a good run. I still think of the Super Bowl -- it still hurts," he said, referring to the Oakland Raiders' 48-21 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII.

He told ESPN that he felt his body couldn't take the rigors of kicking in the NFL any longer.
