Sour grapes saying he has no class, com'on Joe, your bigger than that. Finn

Yeah I know that nothing is a done deal until the paperwork is signed but
-He had a list of acceptable teams he would move to
-He agreed to an offer and then backed out on a verbal deal.

A man's word is his bond. Breaking his word was not illegal but he pulled a low class move. He knew his move was a highly watched event and by backing out at the last move makes him a bum. I'd say that about anyone who does the same.
