I hung ‘em up in 2015 never to return again. Had an amazing time and accomplished so much. I say that to say, they’re going to stay hung up and I will not be coming out of retirement. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/gKShE54z3a

It’s too bad that he won’t play in the FCF because that would have been a ton of fun to see. I guess he’s just having too much fun kicking back and relaxing! I don’t blame him at all!
