REPORT: ALLEN TO ANNOUNCE RETIREMENT THURSDAY (AP) - Marcus Allen, who holds the NFL career record with 123 rushing touchdowns, will announce his retirement Thursday and move into the broadcast booth, according to a local CBS affiliate. The former Heisman Trophy winner will leave the Kansas City Chiefs and take a job as an analyst with CBS Sports, KCTV reported Wednesday. A week ago, Allen told Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer that he would return to play out the final year of his contract. A press conference was scheduled by the Chiefs for 4 p.m. ET. The Kansas City Star reported in Thursday's editions that CBS also planned an announcement. "I would be remiss if I would say anything that would usurp the press conference," said Ed Hookstratten, Allen's agent. "Marcus Allen will announce his plans for the future at the afternoon press conference in Kansas City." KCTV sports anchorman William Jackson, a co-host with Allen of a local television show, reported that a source "close to the situation" had indicated that the running back would retire. Jackson said he had not discussed the report with Allen.
