I love it when guys who threaten retirement every year sign extensions beyond a year. Makes you wonder how much is about attention
With the understanding that Ben is an attention seeking drama queen, that’s not what the retirement talk was about.
That was about getting Haley fired.
So, you admit he’s whiny baby like AB, til he finally got his way?? COOL
Been calling Ben a drama queen for 15 years now. Just as I’ve said he’s a HOF’er. Because I offer honest opinions based in reality.
You see everything through the prism of a Big Chest sycophant and thus consider anyone whose tongue isn’t next to yours on AB’s sack to be a Ben apologist.
This is inaccurate.
Riiight… So, he is a Whiny baby, who got OC fired and more money?? Thanks for the extra drivel in your response
And millions of us are worried that our Social Security might dry up! Why worry, at least we know where the money is.
Wall Street and fortune 500 CEO’s???
WOW! Some of u ppl r feeble minded
