Tiki Barber's the best example. He retired after a 1,600 yard season because he wanted to go into broadcasting and become a big TV personality. The Giants win two Super Bowls right after he leaves. Meanwhile, Tiki's broadcasting career fails to take off and he's now relegated to doing an afternoon show on local New York sports radio.

By all accounts Tiki Barber was an enormous a-hole, and horrible teammate. Everything bad that comes to him is well deserved.

That's a really good comparison! I completely forgot about him!
