It was a very smart decision from Sawyer! He knew that he did his best at Canadian Nationals and it's difficult to top that. He peaked and that was it. It's a great time to retire and go on pro.
Now, if USFSA wants Jeremy Abbott to go to this worlds, just have Scott Hamilton offer Bradley the SOI for this year, it'll do the trick.
For some reason I don't think Bradley would make the same decision. He's also reworked some of his program for worlds and he seems to be REALLY into competing now. I saw an interview with him and Kurt Browning.

I see no evidence that US Skating wants to get rid of Bradley :think:
The heck with US Skating's wishes, I hope Ryan has a long career in whatever way he wants to take it. He amuses the heck out of me.
bummer, being nonCanadian I can't watch it, it's only for Canucks. Oh well.
(obvioulsy a Canadian)

Nope. (Smile when you say that, stranger. )
Wow! Amazed at somebody's extradinary ability to read between the lines!
Did I say USFSA has problem with Bradley or wanted to get rid of him?
Both looked like have peaked at that moment - my opinion - I have to state it clearly. :
Thankyou, and yes you did make a comment about it and "tongue in cheek" comments are fine.
Then you said Bradley and Sawyer "peaked" at their respective nationals.
Was that more "tongue in cheek" :think:
That is an odd comment at best as Bradley had not competed for close to a year and was off the ice recovering from a broken foot for quite a while as he contemplated his future.
"Tongue in cheek" perhaps, but why do I think more of the old "foot in mouth."
By his own admission Ryan was nowhere near "peak condition" at Natls.
