Furthermore, why'd they even ask about it on Around The Horn and why was opinion split on whether or not he was joking?
He contemplated retiring in the offseason, so why's this so far-fetched to believe?
See above.
1. Because it's Rothlesberber. Are you new here? He's been saying stuff like that forever. He's a drama queen...he'll say stuff or get 'hurt', people let their guard down and bam, he comes back with both barrels. He's always been that way. He's also the quarterback and leader on that team. Do you really think he's going to sincerely make a public statement that would compromise the confidence in him of the rest of the team...after only the 5th game of the season? Or do you honestly think that immediately after a terrible performance in front of reporters he chose to get all warm and fuzzy and reflective of his career? He also said right after that "if you play long enough, sometimes you're going to have games like that" which totally contradicts 'not having it any more'.
2. Because if everyone on Around The Horn agreed with each other, there wouldn't be a show.
3. He may very well retire. That's a decision he'll make personally and with his family after the season... not in front of a bunch of strangers from the media after the 5th game of the season while still atop the division.
Taking all that into consideration...it was sarcastic.
