Will,
I happen to have it on pretty good authority that this retirement announcement is bogus. It seems as if you are either mistaken or are being sarcastic/belligerent. For a man that has devoted a great amount of his time, not for the money, but for the love of the sport, this seems to be a very low form of attack on your part. I hope you are mistaken instead of simply being a loudmouth bully. Officials, whether they are right or wrong with their judgement, deserve more respect than that.
