i explained this in my last post.  i called it bs from the beginning.  if the guy had a source, it went like this:

guy 1 "did you hear jb got into an accident?"

guy 2 "yes, thats horrible"

guy 1 "i know.  really sad.  must really weigh on a person.  imagine if it could lead to a retiring"

guy 2 "you never know.  these things are difficult"

next conversation

guy 2 "hey, did you hear about jb"

guy 3 "yea, what a tragedy"

guy 2 "i know.  guy 1 and myself were saying that.  we were wondering if jb would hang it up after something like that"

guy 3 "wouldn't surprise me at all"

next conversation

guy 3 "hey did you hear about jb"

guy 4 "no what happened"

guy 3 "[describes events].  guy 2 was saying jb could retire"

guy 4 "wow, that is just awful."

next conversation

guy 4 "hey did you hear about jb.  heard he's considering retirement."

guy 5 "yea i saw that on the news.  really sad.  hope jb doesn't go out like that."

guy 4 "me too"

then the rumor is established.  the fact is there is just noway the morning after this occurred, 12 hours or so, that was on jb's mind.  just not rational imo.  if you want to disagree with that point fine.  but its my opinion, and im entitled to one.

i think its fine to criticize someone if they share something as speculative as that in wake of a tragedy.  again, my opinion.  feel free to disagree or argue an alternative perspective.  i encourage it.
