It was him waiting until 2 weeks before the season began to bail out. Worse was most of his teammates found out DURING the game. They were sitting on the sidelines and their phones blew up. I guess letting Adam Schefter know before your teammates was more important. He has every right to live the life the way he wants and to quit on his own terms but showing up at a pre season game like everything is good only to be found out during the game was stupid. His teammates deserved way better than that. I had a boss quit on us out of the blue one day to go to a competitor. Had to come in on Saturday and call his clients and meet with them over the next 2 weeks. Didn't get an extra dime out of it. Classless douche. Now the Colt offense will have to scramble to try and get a gameplan in for Brissett. I am tired of athletes that think their shit doesn't smell and whatever they do the fans are supposed to kiss their asses. Fuck Andrew Luck, he is douche.

Maybe he planned to announce it after the game, as not be a distraction, but Schefter got the scoop? Maybe try some empathy instead of judging him without all of the facts.

Aren't the facts out yet? Maybe the facts about his shoulder will finally come out (he hurt is snowboarding). So how did he get hurt this time? It wasn't at practice by the way. The guy quit out of the blue. Certainly his right but doesn't mean I have to like it as a fan or feel sorry for him. It is why I watch college sports more and more and professional sports less and less. Pro athletes more and more are about their brand and don't give a shit about their team. It is why I no longer watch NBA basketball, something I loved to do when I was younger. Luck isn't one of these guys by the way, he just should have decided to retire earlier this year and let his teammates and team know. All these sports broadcasters and athletes acting like this was a gut wrenching decision make me laugh, dude was tired of being hurt and quit WAY ahead. Got no problem with that but his timing SUCKED. At least Palmer gave us a heads up. By the way, I am supposed to have empathy for an NFL QB? Has it gotten to the point that we are supposed to feel sorry for a guy who made $100 mil playing football? I will feel empathy for the family of the 2 children killed by the asshole who stole a police cruiser after stabbing someone then ran into their car in Dayton last night. You go put your Andrew Luck jersey on, light a candle and pray he gets all better. The poor multi millionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had surgery on his neck and there was a good chance he would never be the same. They couldn't afford to keep both and everyone knew Manning was going to land on his feet. The Colts let Luck keep $24 million he had not earned yet. Other than that, they are bastards LOL. How many companies let you leave with a year's salary YOU HAD NOT EARNED! God the Colts are evil.

So you must love when college football players don't play in the bowl games because they are trying to protect their brand and don't give a shit about their team? That shit happens all the way down to high school players. Colleges use players to make money, pro teams use players to make money. The teams have no loyalty to the players (they would cut Luck in a second if he wasn't the best choice and they could save money), so why should the players have it back? Poor multi-billionaire owners and I don't give two flying fucks about Andrew Luck or the Colts. I just think your take on this whole thing is wrong. So agree to disagree... 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Not going to your bowl game is total BS however only 10 guys sat out last year's bowls games. In their defense, there are way too many shitty bowl games. Nobody sat out a legitimate bowl but I still don't agree with it. Colleges only make money on football and men's basketball. Ohio State competes in 30 sports and has a total of 1038 student athletes: 564 men and 474 women. MOST of the players don't play men's football or basketball. They use the money from the two main sports to SUBSIDIZE the other 28. Less than 1% of Ohio State's scholarship athletes go pro, 86% of them GRADUATE. More scholarship athletes become doctors than become professional athletes by FAR. The college bashing is ridiculous. I don't give a shit about the owners, I care about fans and teammates. Of course the owners are the ones making the poor abused athletes millionaires. I don't care about Luck either but I sure as hell don't need Troy Aikman Aaron Rodgers and Bo telling me I need to give two fucks about him and if I can boo or not.

Give me a fucking break. There isn't a franchise in the NFL that would NOT have drafted Luck in that situation. The San Diego Chargers did the exact same thing to Drew Brees when he hurt his shoulder, they kept Rivers and let Brees go. Nobody cried about that. All I can say is that if were Cam Newton, it would be a different story. BTW, Lucas Oil stadium is a multi use facility much like the Superdome that is used year round. It is the exact opposite of Paul Brown Stadium. It was a great investment for the city of Indianapolis UNLIKE PBS. They have 27 events scheduled for the rest of the year, PBS has 8 football games and very small event later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to hear you guys standing up for Rothleisberger after he hangs them up! Well, we know the Colts are going to "land on their feet" as well. It's hard to lose money running an NFL franchise, ask Mike Brown. What will poor Jim Irsay do. Luck could have gotten hurt at any time, and the situation would have been the same. The whole "He screwed his teammates" angle is laughable. Brissett was always a snap away from being the starter. Signing bonuses may be prorated over the life of the contract for cap purposes, but they are not paid out that way. If you cut a guy you don't get the money back. He "earned" that money the day he signed. The same day Irsay sent out the letter telling season ticket holders to pay up. If he had a career ending injury leaving the building that day, they'd have cut him in a heartbeat and he'd have kept the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hate rich owners and the way these teams operate then the only team you should be a fan of the Green Bay Packers. The “he could have gotten hurt and the same thing would have happened” analogy is nonsense. You don’t choose to get hurt, Luck decided to hang it up with an minor ankle injury.

It happened at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, in the back of the south end zone. I saw it. I was there. Bengal fans gave Largent a huge standing ovation, in spite of us losing that game. Whether you agree with Luck's decision, or the manner he reached it, or even the timing.... Colt fans booing him as he walked off his own field for the final time was a classless act. Tomorrow will be Luck's final NFL game. Don't know if he's traveling with the team, and if he is I'm expecting he's certainly not dressing or playing. But if he's there, I wholeheartedly expect Bengal fans to show him the respect he is due, and applaud his accomplishments, talent, and career in the manner that he should have seen when he stepped off the Lucas Oil field last week.

How the hell do you know it's minor? Pain is subjective. Effects everyone differently. By every indication he was trying to rehab and get back. It wasn't working and he was miserable. He doesn't owe anyone shit. Yeah, I'm sure he didn't want it to come out that way either. Someone probably squealed to Schefter. The media doesn't care.
