    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>SAN ANTONIO -- Utah center Greg Ostertag said Monday night he will retire after the season."I've run out of gas," Ostertag said after the Jazz's 115-82 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, who has played 11 seasons in the NBA. "I'm tired of being on the road. I just don't have it."Ostertag, who has been in the NBA for 11 years, played in 59 games this season. He had a disagreement with Utah coach Jerry Sloan earlier this year and was suspended one game without pay for conduct detrimental to the team on Jan. 28.He hasn't played in four of the past five games. He's averaging 13.6 minutes per game."I'm not a guy who can sit on the bench and collect a paycheck," Ostertag said. "I realized if I couldn't play for this team, there aren't many I can play for."Utah is 40-41 with one game remaining this season. The Jazz were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday in a loss to Dallas.</div>LINKI know most wont really care if Ostertag is going to retire, but oh well.

    What a sad day. Just kidding. This is too bad. I like to take him on NBALive 06 and put him at point guard and shoot nothing but threes with him. Now that joy is gone...
