I guess sometimes in life we don't realize what we really want until we're on the cusp of thrusting ourselves into that next stage. As soon as were there and there is no turning back, things can become a lot clearer about what we truly feel and desire. It must have been a terrifying decision for him to actually call the wedding off that close to it happening. I feel bad for him and I feel bad for his (ex) fiance. But I'm happy that he went with what he thought was right. Hopefully happy days lay ahead for both of them.
I've never heard rumors he was gay, and if that is enough to make him a locker room problem, than I feel sorry for the ignorance contained within those who distanced themselves for something like that. I certainly hope his sexual preference, whatever that may be, wasn't a factor in trading him.
