  1. Tired of being injured, getting only somewhat better, back to playing hurt, then too hurt to play. Rinse and repeat. Didn’t want to spend his life limping

  2. My take on Andrew Luck pulling the plug…

    Dearest Mother. After being captured by the Rebs, I haven’t been able to get squirrel oil to apply to my wounds. Fortunately they are releasing me tomorrow and I shall make my way home to sit by the hearth and read tomes on architectural philosophy. I have shed my last tear. Your faithful son. Captain Andrew luck

  3. There are no kind words for selfish people who disrespect Andrew Luck’s decision. For Pete’s sake, it’s his life. Have you thoughtless critics ever done something because you liked it, only to lose your enthusiasm?

    What Katie F. said above. All the best, Andrew.

  4. Andrew Luck made a very sane decision. I have to wonder about how dark things got for him. May he do well, enjoy life, love his family, and find happiness.
    Glass is half full report for the team: The Colts now have the cloud of uncertainty lifted about their starting quarterback and no longer have to answer the questions about him every moment of every day. The Colts have Luck’s salary back I would assume (no small item). Each and every member of the team became more important after last night, not just Brissett. What they do with that will be the story for the rest of the season. The defense and O-line should have felt the weight slide off Andrew’s shoulders right onto theirs. Mr. Brissett has just been handed an opportunity that few in the NFL get. In many ways this season just got more interesting than worrying/waiting for a hurt player to heal. I’m sure coach has a headache, but he will be judged on a different scale now that Andrew is gone. Big opportunities all around. Go Colts!

  5. Ugh. Note to editors: copying and pasting tweets isn’t writing a story, nor is it new and original content. It is actually offensive to this reader, since I can get this free on Yahoo…or Twitter…or Facebook.
