Emotional Luck announces retirement from NFL

INDIANAPOLIS -- In a shocking development, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck announced his retirement from the NFL on Saturday night, saying constant injuries have taken away his love for the game.

Luck, who turns 30 on Sept. 12, had met with Colts owner Jim Irsay earlier to tell him of the decision.

The Colts played their third preseason game Saturday night in Indianapolis against the Chicago Bears. Luck already had been ruled out of the game due to an ankle injury, but he was seen on the sideline, laughing and conversing with teammates.

After the game, Luck announced the retirement decision during an impromptu news conference; he said an official announcement wasn't planned until Sunday afternoon but changed course once news broke during the preseason game.

"I've been stuck in this process," he said, stopping several times to overcome his emotions. "I haven't been able to life the live I want to live. It's taken the joy out of this game ... the only way forward for me is to remove myself from football."

The timing is nothing more than Jim Irsay deserves.

Arguably the third best QB in franchise history.

He didn’t suck.  He fell short of expectations given pre-draft hype and his first overall selection.  But some fans are so myopic they only have two ratings for players: either they deserve a bust in Canton or they are a complete bust.

Interesting.

The Colts are allowing Luck to keep all his money.

When Ricky Williams retired, the Dolphins went after the money

Because Luck is hurt and may retire due to that.  Williams retired to go smoke weed.  By paying out the rest of his contract, the Colts can't be liable for anything owed to Luck due to injury.
