As some have noted, people say one thing and do another. Alex is doing everything he can to make his possible retirement into a national obsession. He's constantly giving interviews about his plans - or maybe his plans - for riding into the sunset.
The latest installment appears in TV Guide, as Alex discusses some Jeopardy memorabilia he's donating to the Smithsonian. He also not so casually drops in a few words about the "r" subject. "I'm not going to go on forever. My contract expires in 2016. There is a time for all things and my time may be coming."
Notice that word "may". Now I don't begrudge Alex his possible retirement. He'll turn 75 in 2016 when his current contract is done. But I do wish he would stop the tease. If he doesn't have anything definite to say about his retirement plans, just say nothing at all.
