I'm a Colts fan. This was one of the few moments in my life that I legit didn't even know what the fuck I was feeling. Still doesn't feel real, like my brain can't even deal with it. I tend to separate sports from "real life" really well, but I had a really hard time sleeping last night just thinking over it all. I'm the same age as Luck. I saw him getting in the league, I was there in the Manning debacle, I remember thinking about the future and how awesome it would be. Aside from some very bright and incredible moment, that future never happened and it hurts as a fan AND it makes me feel old. It's so weird.
Wish 12 nothing but the best, he was a baller and seemed like the best goofy dude ever.
wow.
all that talent wasted due to injury and a incompetent front office
True but Grigson is long gone. Ballard has been doing a tremendous job and this is by far the best Colts team since somewhere in the Manning era. Irsay gets a lot of shit for his outspoken and flamboyant ways, but he's not as bad either. Luck just got the shit end of the deal for playing in the bad years of Colts management. I don't think it's what cost his career though. It's just his playstyle since college, he bodies people like he's a linebacker. Of course playing for the worst offensive line ever didn't help, it was just a mix of reasons.
Last season was so fun man.
