"I thought it was funny," said Bergerion of the rumored comeback. "It is what it is. You can't change rumors and people will always talk. When I did retire, I knew that I could have played another year. But I made that decision for what I thought was the best decision for me and for my family. It's a physical sport. There are a lot of body parts that, when I get up in the morning, they are very achy. When I made the [retirement] decision, it was very real. I was not in between about it. That's why I took so long. Because once I made a decision [to retire], I wasn't going to be going back on it. I listened to my heart and followed my inside voice. That's something I've done my whole life."
