Yeah, it was a bit of an over-reaction and a little bit rude. Apologies. I could have stated my opinion in a more logical, less emotional manner. I think that Iggy went with the place where he got the best deal with the longest term and the most money over that term that he was offered (and wasn't a crap team). Meaning, as far as I'm concerned he was still chasing the money instead of purely going for the place that gave him the best chance of winning. It's his prerogative, but sheesh, at his age and after making as much money as he has in his career, it's literally the last thing I'd worry about.
