ab need to be on a team in the worse way*
He has completely lost his mind.
He needs the game
Montana, Rice, and Lawrence Taylor retired: The NFL is still going strong
Magic, Bird, & Jordan retired: The NBA is still going strong
Gretzky & Lemieux retired: The NHL is still going strong
Bonds, Griffey, Pedro, & Clemens retired: The MLB is still going strong.
The problem for talented unstable headcases & locker room cancers is while they may need the game, no game needs any one player. But when your ego, self awareness, & sense of reality is so skewed that you have no idea in regards to the importance of the phrase: "Pick your battles wisely" you'll find out REALLY quick who needs who in the real world.
And for the record, AB isn't on the level in any way in regards to dynamic impact of the athletes I mentioned above. He won't be missed as much as he may think he will be. By anyone.
