Carolina Panthers defensive end Jared Allen announced his retirement recently and we decided to give him the funky tribute he deserves. Allen is known for some pretty amazing tackles throughout his career, most especially his one handed assault on Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning.

He also made some pretty hilarious videos as well. One of those ridiculous videos is simply remembered as Jared Allen’s mullet. He describes the way of life associated with wearing a mullet and what it means to him.

“Yea I might cut it at some point… when I die,” Allen said. “If someone asks if you want extra mayonnaise, you have to say yes.”

He also had a heart to heart with his mullet where he says he’s sorry for how he’s treated it before, but that he loves it. It ends in a good old fashioned hug.

Or maybe you remember his antics on Jackass 3: The Blindside, where he plays himself pummeling actor Johnny Knoxville. Allen’s self proclaimed mission was to ‘murder Knoxville’s face.’

“I want to take this time to thank my family, friends, fans, and teammates who have given their continued support throughout my 12-year career,” Allen said in a statement. “It’s been a great ride for me, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the memories. It is with a great deal of thought and consideration that I have decided that I will not return to football next year. I want to thank the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and the Kansas City Chiefs organizations, who provided me with an opportunity to live out my dream and to be a part of their wonderful communities. Thanks for the lifelong memories.”
