[True Dough]

Andrew Luck has informed the Indianapolis Colts that he is retiring from the NFL, a source told ESPN.

Luck, who turns 30 on Sept. 12, already has met with Colts owner Jim Irsay to tell him that he is retiring, the source said.

There will be a news conference Sunday to make it official, but Luck is mentally worn down, and now checking out, the source said.

Wow!

[underpants]

1. Yep. Watching the game with some friends and it popped up on the screen

An all-time NFL shocker

[walkingman]

2. Great player - Best of Luck! Go Texans!

[rpannier]

3. Wow!

My friends back in n.w Indy will be disappointed

[brush]

4. Whoa! What a shocker.

5. In two out of five drafts so far

I only have one Colt, Ebron, so thank goodness for me.

Anyone who drafted him or Hilton or Mack....oof, that's a tough loss.

[True Dough]

6. You've done 5 drafts already?

Holy smokes! You're hardcore!

[qazplm135]

10. No two down...

Three to go

[True Dough]

11. How many teams?

Yahoo? ESPN? nfl.com? Other?

[qazplm135]

12. Five on yahoo

I play five a year. Average winning two leagues a season.
Finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th last year.

13. You're doing something right!

Play for cash or just for bragging rights?

[qazplm135]

17. Just bragging rights

The key is working the waiver wire.
I don't think I've ever drafted a championship team, but I picked up great players off the waiver wire.

[True Dough]

18. This is true

Especially in football, where there are so many injuries. That said, I'm in one 20-team league and it's mighty slim pickings on the waiver wire, I can tell ya. Being 14th out of 20 in waiver wire priority doesn't help!

[qazplm135]

19. 20 teams?

Woof...no way I'd play that many teams...that just boils down to a large dollop of luck and the vagaries of the draft.

I can't imagine the team that has to start with the 20th QB or 20th TE or who's top running back is like the 20th or 30th guy.

7. to me this a very good thing. some owners have a certain world view with player

relations. luck has 50 million in the bank. he'll be fine. the owners are the one who have to rethink this.

[redstateblues]

8. Unbelievable! That's a bombshell

He was 11-0 against my Titans

[a kennedy]

9. I think he got really depressed that he would NEVER be medically the same to play QB.

JMHO, but I think his injury will never really ever heal correctly.

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Methinks there's some Karma involved for the Indy franchise. . .

. . .serves them right for tanking a season so they could draft him first.

". . .suck for Luck. . ." ha ha I'm laughing

[True Dough]

15. Not something many of us would have predicted...

16. Hoyer for Ebron sounds about right.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

20. Can't blame the guy.

You're financially set and in pain. It doesn't make sense to go on. I know Indy fans are disappointed, but, Jesus, booing the guy? Really?

[ProfessorGAC]

21. What Bumwood Said!

His 2 big injuries occurred because he got creamed on those plays, and played behind some dubious o lines.
Indy fans want to boo someone for that, boo Irsay!

[True Dough]

22. And the Colts have signed a QB with a fair bit of experience...
