but also, saying this is what "caused me to retire" is straight bullshit - I had already put in my notice with HO and they just didn't post the hiring until after the series was over lol. I don't know if this is a joke or what, I realize it's possible it might be, but I was GM of that team for eighteen seasons, I weathered a storm of a completely inactive GMing partner I had no power to fire, and I think it's a little disrespectful to imply that I would just abandon the team I poured my heart and soul into for three real life years because we had a playoff series go wrong.
