Here’s the thing about injuries...they suck.
Photo by Bart Young/Getty ImagesWhen Andrew Luck stood at the podium Saturday night to retire from football at age 29 - earlier than expected, sooner than planned - the Indianapolis Colts’ franchise quarterback did an extremely difficult but brave thing.
He left a sport he loved because he didn’t love it enough anymore.
“For the last four years I’ve been in this cycle of injury, pain, rehab. And it’s been unceasing and unrelenting, both in season and off season. And I’ve felt stuck in it. And the only way I see out is to no longer play football.”
Colts fans were livid, many booing him off the field since the news broke midway through the team’s third preseason game.
