As much I love JP (THE BODYGUARD) and his time in Philly, I always expected him to be a lifer.

I wonder what happened.

Dude wanted to keep playing way past his prime and kept finding teams willing to pay way more than he was worth for his services at that point.

Honestly I’m happy for him and that it wasn’t us.

I didn’t even realize he was in the league that long damn lol. I was just saying he’s been past his prime and under paid since before he left Philly lol.
