Luck Has Run Out
« on: August 26, 2019, 10:27:07 AM »
Buzz alluded to Mr. Luck in the fantasy thread, but this guy retiring 2 weeks before the season, and at this point in his career, is mind boggling.  The only other time I just went :huh: was when Barry Sanders walked away.  The guy was about to shatter the all time rushing record and he just said, Frick it, I'm done.  No fanfare.  No long, tear filled speeches.  Just....done. 

Yeah, he's had his share of injuries, but nothing most guys don't face during their careers.  And the guy is leaving some serious cash on the table.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Andrew Luck injuries through 6 NFL seasons:
» Torn cartilage in 2 ribs
» partially torn abdomen
» a lacerated kidney that left him peeing blood
» at least 1 concussion
» a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder
» and this mysterious calf/ankle issue this preseason.

The blessing and curse of the top-pick QB: you gettin paid (Luck has made approx $100MM) but your line/team will be trash.

He's tired of taking the beating.  I don't blame him one bit.

I don't blame him one bit, either.  If I had the ability to retire at 29 with 50 million in the bank, I'd be out the door.  I'd disappear, and the next time I posted, someone would say "Jarhead?  I thought he was dead."

Shouldn't we have some sort of service for him?

Let's play a little game. Imagine Cam decides to hang up the cleats in the preseason after dealing with multiple injuries through his career. He says he wants to focus on his growing family, his business interests, and his health. The raking over the coals that man would receive would last the whole season.

Ha has made himself an unlikable character. Luck did not.

Plus, Luck doesn't dress like a giant "Artist formally known as Prince"!

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Very true. 
That franchise had a very generic feel about it until Cam made it about him.

Bullshit.  He's been hit more than any QB in the league.

He's made chicken salad out of Shula's chickenshit for most of his career, but he didn't really walk into a prime spot.
