A day after Paul McCallum denied asking to be released by the BC Lions, the kicker assured his fans that he's not ready to retire through Twitter.
McCallum began by thanking everyone for backing him.
Thanks to all the @CFL fans for all your support and kind words, you truly are the best fans in the world, and made me who I am today.

Although that made it sound as though his long career was ending, he quickly clarified.
This is also not a retirement speech!! Ha ha

McCallum claims the Lions asked him to retire as a member of their organization, or he would be cut. Now it appears as though he'll seek employment with another team in the league.
