Outside of that, I am embarrassed by his statements lately. My opinion started to turn after he trashed the organization after getting cut. It sucks when your hero turns out to be so fundamentally different from yourself. Not the only person I idolized growing up that turned out to be an idiot.

I was pretty disappointed when he got cut when he tried to make his swan song comeback. He seemed to actually have a decent camp. I have come to understand the bigger picture reasons of course, but at the time it kind of sucked.
I agree that he should have been more humble about it. Just inviting him to camp allowed him to retire as an active player which was more than any other team was willing to do at the time.
