I wonder if Will Shields will believe it?

It was one of those things like..............
I'm still retired. I love being with my kids etc...the announcers keep prodding him and he says what I posted above. The way it sounded to me was not as positive as they made it out to be.

Why can't the media just report, instead of creating stories that aren't really there?

Because everyone needs a paycheck. What do you want them to report every day? "In other news, Willie Roaf is still retired. Stay tuned to see whether he changes his mind any time soon!"

The absence of news does not require that they report non-news.

It doesn't. But they want a paycheck just like you and I.

Or Roaf could just say "No" when asked for an interview. That would probably be a first.

I agree with that, and I don't think they're doing anything different than anyone else. I just think journalism has taken a turn for the worse and it has been going on for a long time.

But, I digress, I did not start this thread to rail on the reporters, just to see if it was a serious report or not, and it looks like it was not.

Always good to hear about X-Chiefs, especially on of his caliber.
