I am of the same boat because we went through his fake retirement last year. Him delaying his debut on Fox only enhances the speculation and I had thought that had he said he was going to work for Fox in 2023 that I would have been like "yes, he is done playing" but now I am not going to believe he's stopped until Week 18 of the 2023 season comes and goes and he's nowhere to be found on an NFL roster.....or he signs a one day contract to retire with the Patriots and they announce his jersey retirement and/or induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame during a home game for the 2023 season.....or he gets inducted into the Bucs Ring of Honor sometime during the 2023 season.

Some will only accept that he's truly retired when he's not on an NFL roster during week 18 of the NFL season.

It's not going to stop Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio and others to say that he's coming back in 2023.

The answer is probably no and Dany Garcia, Dwayne Johnson and Redbird Capital think it's a good idea.

From Tonight's NFL Honors:

The Vegas one is weird......why not use an actual Viper head?

If someone had shown me the primary Renegades logo without any context, asking me what I think this logo meant, I would have said "that's a really cool looking Esports Team logo."

Isn't Milwaukee devoid of football venues? That might be the reason why no alternative football leagues have gone there. Now I don't know if the upcoming soccer stadium for the Milwaukee USL Championship team (that will seat 8,000) can be used for football, as Marquette plans to use it a lot for it's Men's and Women's soccer teams and Men's and Women's Lacrosse. Maybe they can use a high school stadium? I don't know the area to know if any of the high school stadiums in Milwaukee are suitable for alternative football.

Robert Sarver is officially gone:

the Sabercats are one of the legacy brands that are inactive, so it's quite doable. It's going to be quite difficult for the AFL to convince the Iowa Barnstormers and Arizona Rattlers of the IFL and Albany Empire, Carolina Cobras, Jacksonville Sharks and Orlando Predators to leave the NAL.

His dad says he's tired of getting hit: But Mike Florio doubts he will retire for good based on things he said on his Podcast and thinks he could change his mind:

Reynolds and McElhenny.....an American owner (Reynolds is Canadian) who owns a European team and the fanbase isn't angry at this American owner? That's not normal.

MLB Players Association is not going to accept any type of contraction, even if it's a Browns style deal.

I don't believe it yet. For me, it's either he has to be announced for FOX NFL Sunday for 2023 or he signs a one day contract with the Patriots, whichever one happens first.
