Stop being biased, his agent already tweeeted out for him.
And even more so, if there’s even a %1 chance he is thinking of retiring, then he shouldn’t say a damn thing, because people like you would bitch and complain 10x more if he announced it wasn’t true and then announced retirement at a later date.
His agent said to everyone shut the fuck up, no decision has been made.
How dare anybody talk about a Super Bowl if he's not playing in it.
I don't want to hear anybody ever excuse his iPad-throwing kid-fucking ways as "competition fuel" the way Michael Jordan justified being an asshole. This isn't competition fuel. He's not playing. He got knocked out of the playoffs. This is a childish tantrum he's throwing. [Reply]
