I'm confused to why he even was at that game if he was retiring.

The fans booed him, was he expecting a Standing Ovation?

Any fan who booed him tonight is an asshole.

He has gotten the crap beat out of him for most of his NFL career, and it's clear it has wore him down.  I give him full props for making this tough decision.

People who booed Luck after he gave them the best years of his life and put his body through hell for them don't deserve to be called sports fans. Entitled gits, the lot of them.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'll miss watching Luck play; initially I was shocked when I heard the news but when I watched the press conference, it made a lot more sense... very smart move on his part.

I was pretty surprised, but not completely surprised.  It was obvious that his new injuries were not healing quickly.  Heck, I had been avoiding all Colts in fantasy drafts I was doing because Luck's health seemed to be in question and their offense takes a bit hit without him.

I'm with you on that.   I'm just not sure how anyone - fan or otherwise - can look on this guy and not say "class act all around".   He put in the effort, and - like so many SAY (Paul Stanley!!) - "if he couldn't do it at the level he knew he should", he stepped back for the good of his team, his body, his family, and him.

I've got nothing but respect for that guy, top to bottom.

Yup. There are a lot of brain-dead sports “fans” out there. I had to call out some morons on my own team’s board for calling him soft. So many people completely lack perspective, it’s pretty sad.

That’s total bullshit Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life? So you’re now the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck? And if his decisions don’t fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him? Guess that keeps you employed on FS1. Nice

I don't know him well enough (uh, not at all) but that's a dick thing to say.  I watched the Luck retirement statement, and he was upfront, honest and fair.  He didn't use buzz words or code words, or hide behind "millenial" nonsense.    He's been almost constantly injured, and it's impacting his quality of life.   That should be enough for anyone (honestly, if Luck just said "yeah, healthy, feeling good, focused, in shape, but i just don't want to do this anymore", that should be enough, but that's me.)

I think fans are emotional because of the timing. He seemed to be back last year and his announcement came in the pre season where hope rings eternal.

Now look at the same age with Gronk.  Play down.   Hinting for years that he was thinking about retirement.   Retires before preseason.   The fans were prepared.

We fans do dumb things when invested in our teams.  They will regret it later.

Did the knuckleheads that were booing him know that he was retiring, or was it simply that he wasn't playing that game due to injury? If it's the latter then they deserved to get blindsided with a whole truckload of Jacobi Brissett.

I was thinking the same thing Kev from the other side. Lol

Honestly that's 2 years Indy fans were duped into season tickets thinking their franchise QB was playing.  The team should have had a Friday afternoon press conference as well that would have not have had the fans boo him.

Aikman will take any chance he can to drop a bomb on FS1. He hates Skip Bayless and the fact that they are essentially employed by the same company. I'm with him. I have long called sports radio 'hate radio'. I had a buddy that listened to it all the time and had to ask how he could listen to that garbage. They seem to hate everything and everyone in sports but that's all they talk about. It's toxic and that is Aikman's take on Bayless.

In rosier news, the Colts gave Luck a massive parting gift. Props to Irsay.

Troy vs Skip goes back a long way. Bayless was the head sports writer for the Dallas Morning News during 8's playing days. At one point he wrote a book that started the rumor that Troy was queer, based on speculation from that incompetent boob Barry Switzer.  Truth is Troy is beloved down here, and Bayless is loathed, although that's exactly what works for him so I guess it's a win win.

Jim Murray of 98.5 The Sports Hub — the Patriots' flagship radio station — tweeted Thursday that a source told him an alarm was tripped for a possible breaking and entering at Chung's Meredith home. As police were checking on the home, they reportedly found the cocaine.

The official indictment includes very few details, other than Chung's name, date of birth and address. The charge states that he "did possess or have under his control a quantity of the controlled drug cocaine," and that he did so "knowingly," but does not include any further details.

Something tells me that Patrick Chung's got a housekeeper that's fixing to earn a six figure bonus.

Pro-tip: Always stash your drugs in something opaque. A dozen brown cosmetics jars cost $10 on Amazon, FFS. I realize he wasn't expecting Johnny to enter his home while he was away, but nobody ever does. He had a lot of protection in that scenario that he waived by leaving contraband in plain sight.

That was probably mostly due to timing.  Most players announce retirement shortly after the previous season ends or earlier during the off-season.  Not two weeks before the regular season starts.  I can see why a lot of fans would be pissed off about that.

I about lost my mind when my local affiliate changed from Rome to Cowherd in the morning. I know Rome has more than his share of detractors, and his show has gone way downhill from before he moved to CBS Radio, but damn Cowherd is atrocious. There was about a week or two when I liked Gottlieb and listened to his show, then I quickly moved on from him too.

Cowherd is fine in small doses (like any good sports talking head).  Rome and Cowherd both have that obnoxious part of their personality that comes out at times, but you almost have to have that to survive in that industry. 



That was probably mostly due to timing.  Most players announce retirement shortly after the previous season ends or earlier during the off-season.  Not two weeks before the regular season starts.  I can see why a lot of fans would be pissed off about that.

I totally get having that immediate, emotional reaction to news like that, but to boo the guy like that?

I listened to Rome back in the 90s -- back when he and Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton were on the same station.  Then he disappeared from the LA area airwaves, and I wondered for awhile what happened to him.  Once a year or so I catch his show on TV when I'm off work on a weekday, and it's BAD.

Cowherd is one of those guys who says stupid stuff just to get a reaction and generate talk, but I can't stand him at all.  Fortunately, I'm almost never in my car when he's on.  Dan Patrick in the morning is great, as are Petros and Money during afternoon drive (and I completely get that a lot of folks hate Petros, but I think he's hilarious when paired with Money).  Midday around here is Fred Roggin and Rodney Peete or Mason and Ireland.  Roggin should be better, but Rodney Peete is godawful (as is Rob Parker, whom they have on fairly frequently for no apparent reason).  Mason and Ireland are mostly good, but they're very Lakers-centric.

Yeah, I know.  He definitely didn't deserve that, but on the other hand, I'm not surprised the way certain fans are now days.  At the other end of the spectrum, how bout those Jason Witten fans?  He retires, sucks at broadcasting on Monday Night and now he's back again in Dallas.  He better have a damn good season or he'll never hear the end of it.  :lol
