A few years back I felt very badly for him. He did wrong and lied, but I saw him admit his mistakes and I admired that. Now he has really turned his life around. Good for him and I wish nothing but the. EST from here.
You can wish Trevon Moehrig that, as he signed a three year deal with Carolina.

Did Turpin re-sign or did he resign? If not for the hyphen, it would be an example of a contranym; a word that can be its own opposite. Some examples include the verb forms of dust (to remove fine particles or to spread fine particles) or bolt (to securely fasten or to depart quickly).

Other examples from Wikipedia:
  • Original can mean "authentic, traditional", or "novel, never done before"
  • Cleave can mean "to cling" or "to split apart".
  • Clip can mean "attach" or "cut off".
  • Dust can mean "to remove dust" (cleaning a house) or "to add dust" (e.g., to dust a cake with powdered sugar).
  • Fast can mean "without moving; fixed in place", (holding fast, also as in "steadfast"), or "moving quickly.
  • Overlook can mean "to make an accidental omission or error" or "to engage in close scrutiny or control".
  • Oversight can mean "accidental omission or error" or "close scrutiny or control".
  • Peruse can mean to "consider with attention and in detail" or "look over or through in a casual or cursory manner".
  • Ravel can mean "to separate" (e.g., threads in cloth) or "to entangle".
  • Sanction can mean "approve" or "penalize".
