You guys really think THAT'S what made him decide to retire?!?!
Supposedly he had been thinking about his retirement date for some time before then, and he does seem a little rattled over these on-air incidents, saying "Maybe I should start seeing a psychiatrist" or words to that effect.
I don't think Deborah Curling's refusal to sign the CBS agreement had anything to do with it either,

Not a problem. Some people attribute Barker's "senior moments" and subsequent leaving to age and dementia, and others attribute it to distraction by the legal drama that was unfolding at the time. Either way doesn't matter, he's gone!
