A little known fact is that TV stations have obituaries pre-recorded for people, so that when they die, they have something ready to run on the news. This is common practice. It's also common practice for sports and sport-o-tainment channels to have retirement pieces ready, should a star player be ready to retire.

Brett has been playing the "will I or won't I" game for so long now, that many of these sports channels have gone through 2 or 3 of these prerecorded segments. For a certain 4 letter sports channel, who changes their focus, story angles, announcers, and graphics every few weeks, this meant rerecording every segment over and over and over again. At a certain point, Brett had a pang of guilt (he's only human after all).
