Well, this is the end - of the semester, of 2006, of Michael Richard's career. And that got The Daily thinking: In our society, one little divorce, drunk driving incident or racial rant can land you on the next episode of "E! True Hollywood Story" faster than you can say "comeback." We've observed more than a few career-ending moves this year in a variety of arenas, the likes of which rival some of the more spectacular gaffes of recent history. With an eye to education and prevention, in this (appropriately) final installment of the Top Ten this semester, we present the somewhat arbitrarily chosen Top Ten Career-Ending Moves - and the People Who Made Them.

The Hamilton men's ice hockey team entered the season having lost seven seniors, including NESCAC Player of the Year Gus Katsuras, to graduation. Its roster featured 13 freshmen who would be thrown into the fire of a brutal NESCAC schedule. And so when United States College Hockey Online (USCHO) projected in its season preview that Hamilton would finish eighth in the NESCAC, the Continentals stepped into to underdog role.
