Colts quarterback Andrew Luck retires from the NFL

If you believe in such a thing as a Deflategate curse then this news is for you — and even if you don’t it is significant: the Indianapolis Colts, who started the ball-inflation affair which resulted in the New England Patriots losing two draft picks and quarterback Tom Brady to a four-game suspension, just saw their starting quarterback retire at the age of 29. That’s right, Andrew Luck has decided to call it a career after just seven seasons in the league.

Luck originally joined the Colts in 2012, when the team selected him with the first overall pick in the draft.
