    I’m a Colts fan who was supremely bummed out when Luck retired. And really, we haven’t been very good since. It sucks.

    But he’s a good guy, and he was getting absolutely obliterated out there. I don’t begrudge his decision for a second. I’m glad he’s going to be able to live the rest of his life with intact ribs and ankles and stuff.

    I think Tua should do the same. It’s one thing to have your bones hurt forever. It’s another to have your brain turned to scrambled eggs and either eat from a straw for the rest of your life or end up going all Hernandez and killing someone and then yourself. It’s not worth it.

      Mad respect for Luck. I know the discs in his back were messed up but at least he got out while he still has quality of life.

      I agree that, while I love football, we don’t need any more Aaron Hernandez, Jovan Belcher, or Junior Seau situations.
