The guy retired at halftime of the Chargers-Bills game. He just took his uniform off, put on his clothes and left, without telling his Bills teammates. I feel sad for his kids, because they are going to hear over throughout lives, their dad walked out on his team at halftime. by RamsFanSince82 5 years 7 months ago Total posts: 5851 Joined: Aug 20 2015 So.

One the one hand, it's pretty shitty to just up and desert your brothers in arms with zero notice. Just a total lack of respect for them and the organization. BUT...On the other hand it reminds me a lot of Tyson's last fight. Where he sat down on the stool at the end of a round and just wouldn't (or couldn't) get back up when the bell rang for the next. Dude was broken and defeated, not even physically, but mentally and emotionally. He realized mid fight that he just didn't have it anymore and his heart wasn't in it either. He's said as much since, but he didn't need to, you could see it in his eyes at the time. Was sad as f**k to watch actually. I think maybe Davis had the same kind of realization. He (and his team) just keep continually getting their asses beat and embarrassed, and he just didn't have the heart to keep fighting. Especially for an organization that really doesn't seem to care much about failure or success or the men putting their minds and bodies at risk on the field every week. I'm not sure I'd want to fight for that team either. I will continue to foolishly talk sh*t about random players because they get better IMMEDIATELY after I do!!

Now he always going to be labeled as the guy who quit and walked out on his teammates at halftime.
