That was just a little attention grabber...letting BJ know that he's had enough.

Haha! I never noticed it before. I always want to hear Big John say "stop grabbing the shorts, BJ!"

everytime I see that ending I think "how the heck do you get out of that?"

Uh..... Maybe......... Chickin Skin???!!!

I am one of the biggest Penn nuthuggers, but damn.

If he was considering retirement before this fight,
he is going to kill himself after.

ZING!!!!!!!

I was flying home, (and) I was kind of like, 'Maybe I don't want to do this anymore; I don't know what's wrong. If I'm going to go out there and perform like that, maybe this isn't something worth doing.' But when I got to Hawaii and jumped on a little island-hopper to go to my island, something told me, 'B.J., stick to your plan.' So I'm sticking to it.

"kind of like" and "maybe" hardly mean he was considering retirement. I'm not a BJ hugger by any means but lets not get all silly here....

He lost a tough fight and was despondent on his flight home... that seems understandable to me...

It's not like he was wishy washy on the fight with Matt....
