The boy damn near broke his ribs for y'all, lacerated his kidney for y'all, and kept y'all in the playoffs in the mean time. And that's how you treat him. That's pitiful.
Can’t believe they booed him off the field. One of the most disrespectful farewells I’ve ever seen. Hope Luck can live a good post football life and I’m glad he retired under his own terms
Kayman234 he'll un retire after Brady retires, play for the Patriots and beat down the Colts multiple times in big time games. Colts fans deserve it for the unappreciative, pathetic way they sent him off the field. Embarrassing.
The fans probably paid thousands of dollars for season tickets hoping for a Super Bowl run. In some ways you have to understand their betrayl, they'll probably see a really bad team now..Who will want to buy their season tickets? Any refunds?
Exactly! What's the point of making all of that money just to struggle to get out of the bed by the age of 35...I guarantee most of the people booing him have never played a down of football in their life! They have no idea how hard football is on the body! In my opinion, It's a very selfless decision to leave the game, he knows he can't perform and is walking away from sticking around to make a lot more money. He is a class act in my book!
Andrew Luck is my favorite football player and he was the only reason I watched football. It broke my heart to watch the fans boo him. It was on my birthday and I cried my eyes out. He brought us from 2-14 to 11-5, thank you for everything Luck.
Professr 93 It’s not healthy to bottle up emotions too because you’re a guy and “guys shouldn’t cry” that’s toxic buddy. We’re all human learn to understand people
Professr 93 imagine you love the patriots and you’re a die hard pats fan and Brady retires on your birthday because of injuries. You’d probably be pretty busted up about it
@The Mask Of Doom Jim Plunkett has my unending respect but, I would wager he'd have liked to have quit earlier; just look at what both he and Jim Otto and are going through post Football. These 'so called Colts, need to try rehabing from a relatively rudimentary injury such a fractured clavicle for instance, then take the field to be thrown around by someone who's 6'6" 300lbs and can bench his bodyweight as well as run a 4.45. Good luck with that.😊 Andrew, I've never met you, but respect your career and wish you all the best in your new life.
@@dom.rockchalkjayhawk.8990 No doubt outstanding medical doctors have informed Andrew Luck of how much internal damage they have observed. New pains may emerge for a long time to come. Rehab will take years.
Your exactly right. He said before the draft that architecture is something he really loves. That’s why he chose Stanford. He actually said when football is over he planned to work in architecture during interviews for the NFL draft.
@Mula mafioso this is one of the most brain dead takes I have ever seen lmao Luck with a torn shoulder labrum is 10x the QB Mike Vick was during his best QB season with the Eagles. Mike Vick couldn't hit the broad side of a barn for 12 of his 13 seasons. The only thing he sort of consistently did well was run and his only claim to greatness was being a highlight reel in the open field.
@Mula mafioso so you dont have to win 12 games. You arent having a goodnight on this comment board. 12 games is a riducoulous number to be your standard. Lets start here. Who is your favorite team?
What's crazy is, if he chose to wait until after the season, the same people who booed him would've criticized him for playing and holding the team back. It was a lose-lose situation for him.
I hope they have miserable lives and suffer badly in their dying days. Fuck them and I'm not a Colts fan at all. That was some of the lowest sewer rat move I've ever seen in football.

He let the franchise down. Set the franchise back for a long time. You guys and Flemlo have the right to say what you want, but there are tons of fans who are severely let down. He absolutely has the right to do what he wants with his body and livelihood, but fans, especially those who paid thousands for season tix, absolutely have the right to be vocal.
He retired now means he thought about it 2-3 years ago. He’s a champ bro he stuck it out then said ✌🏼 I’m done gettin injured. Go take care of your wife and kid bro! We appreciate you Andrew.
@Shawn Kemp If it isn't CTE, he knows he will be very arthritic soon. As the injuries are ankle, shoulder, and elbow issues. His arm and legs are pretty much wrecked.
To make it simple the colts decided an O-line wasn’t important until it was way too late and gave him almost no running game or defense until he was almost broken
KamarTB also important to note they waited way to late to bring in the right management. All the things you mentioned happened because of Ryan Grigson. Took Chris Ballard a year to fix it. Took too long to get better management.
COLIN HARRIS 1.) Nelson is a generational prospect 2.) 1 player does not make a line great. That unit didn’t allow a sack for 5 straight games. That’s insane. Just because you don’t know their names doesn’t mean they’re bad.
I played football until the age of 35 and I got to play in multiple countries on multiple continents. It was an amazing experience but I destroyed my shoulder in my final season in Australia at 35 and I had to have my shoulder reconstructed. Now, I just wish I could pick up my 2 year old and hold her without pain. I completely get Luck’s decision and I commend him for it. Great video, FlemLo. Love your work.
luisito NeymarEsNo1 WTF he has gone through 3 fucking injuries, what do you mean he hasn’t been injured, i actually believe that you only see Athletes as people, you see them as something you watch as entertainment
The GM and Owner failed him. He was running for his life every snap, and usually getting destroyed. It was not his fault, it was the trash-ass Colts organization fault.
, he was a great player but got hurt at young age and did what he needed to do to keep his health, let's not blame anyone but applaud him for his short success in the nfl
@@deangulberry1876 It's true. I have never seen a QB, tell a defender after sacking him, "Good job, you are a hell of a player." Not many players are like that.
My heart was entirely shattered but I was never mad for 1 second. I 💯 understand and don't blame the man at all he will be missed for sure tho. Just wish we could have seen him healthy more often
I’m a Colts fan with an Luck jersey that I hung on my wall with all respect for Luck, he did so much for Indy and was betrayed by his own fans while he was battling physical and mental injuries while having a family relying on him and if he maybe never retired he could’ve had permanent physical and mental injuries All respect for Luck ✊
lil fai he may be like Ricky Williams and come back after having a few years to recover. He plays QB and can still sling it so it’s hardly out of the question.
Bro, I’m glad you touch on the schedule of a student athlete. You’ve mentioned it in quite a few videos, and I think it’s something that people wouldn’t really know unless they did the research, or know someone who’s a student athlete. I wasn’t a student athlete, but I went to Texas Tech, and had a few friends who were on the football and basketball teams. And, the only time you would see them was either on a Saturday night during the off-season, or on a Sunday. But that’s it, their schedules are crazy crazy full. Great video man. I’ve always had love for Andrew Luck. Maybe because I’m a Texas boy too, or maybe because the dudes done some incredible things.
christopher R I blame Grigson. He and coach pagano didn’t have a good relationship and Grigson was cutting all of our good players except Luck and TY. He replaced our OC Pep Hamilton, which Luck and TY were doing fine under. Then Grigson got Tob Chudzinski which only made things worse. The fans wanted Grigson gone but, we still had all of Grigsons trash staff in the 2017 season which caused Pagano to be fired
@@jonathanmushi5839 as a matter of fact O-line was a concern in the last few years Peyton was there. Go look up articles talking about the Colts O-line from 2010. It might be good to be grounded in context of reality.
If you listen to the Pat McCafee podcast he once told the story of him(a punter) being in the quarterbacks room during meetings all week. He even said he was getting reps at QB in practice during the week
@@dankburrito4219 nvm that'll take too long. I was being sarcastic Danny White took over starting qb when Staubach. Staubach was was the Cowboys hall of fame qb from the 70s. Danny White should have never been more than a punter. Look him up watch highlights its sad really. Patty McAfee wouldnt allow himself to be Danny White bad though.
Watching the joy slowly fade from Lucks face as his fans start booing him, you could tell it hurt him, and watching that can almost make a grown man cry
I think Gridiron Heights Luck would cry as soon as he hear "B-". That's just so f*cked up. I'm glad he's gone so he can live HEALTHY and HAPPY life. I hope the Colts go whatever record they had in 2017 again.
Exactly man, I start to choke up every time I see it on TV. So just imagine how he felt. I'm not even a Colts Fan but I know how much he did for that Team and City! He gave them his all when obviously they didnt deserve it! What a Shame the world we live in People can be So Selfish
This from a Browns fan: Don't blame all Colts fans, though. That was a few thousand assholes. I live 25 minutes east of Indy. Haven't heard one person cursing him. People are sad to devastated, but not hating Luck. And yeah, I didn't even cry as a small kid when the Drive and Fumble happened, but my eyes were burning last night for real. I've talked to several Colts fans, and they all hate what those asswipes did.
In my opinion this is probably the best sports related video I’ve seen since the Patriots “do your job”. You’re so talented man, 2020 is going to be big for you.
Me too. I'm a lions fan and would never Do that to Barry Sanders. Our top 2 best all time players. Then they boo Andrew luck, a guy who almost led them to the super bowl. So wow, just wow.
When Calvin retired I was heartbroken, but the man needed to do what he needed to do. At the end of the day they play football for OUR entertainment. A good life quality after football should be put before our entertainment.
Sharp Lefty mostly for the money and their love for the game not really for the entertainment. Some players enjoy playing for fans and hearing them cheer for them more than others
It's literally why gronk retired. Ability wise he is far from done being he still the best blocking TE in the league with the ability to catch, he could easily take a reduced role and squeeze out another couple of years. But I don't think anyone has ever been through as many chronic injuries as he has. Most people don't consider how much of a decider pain is. In Gronks case we're talking about the greatest TE ever and that's without him ever being healthy. And as much as I dislike the colts, it's clear Luck could have ranked high on the all time list if he had health on his side. Who knows maybe he sits out the year, gets some time to enjoy being healthy and maybe he comes back. I personally think they could have just IR'd him and give him as much time as he needed out of curiosity but like I'm not irrsay (if nothing else I can't afford the coke and I never had a DUI) But yea, from a pats fan hope this dude gets to enjoy life, he's kinda worked hard for it ^_~
This is probably my first ever comment on a UA-cam video. And it’s because I enjoy the way you put out the information. I also enjoy the positivity that you bring in your storytelling. Bro you need to be in mainstream media for real. Thank you and keep doing what you do. I’m a real big fan. Keep killing them bro.
I'm not gonna lie, I was mad at first. But watching his press conference I knew why he was retiring. I completely understand why he left. He has a family he has to take care of. You cant do that if your body is broken. I got nothing but love for him. As a colts fan I would like to say thankyou.
Joe Cusumano Even though the line was bad I don’t think Luck was able to adapt his playing style until this year to not always take the big hit. I think that his story needs to be a cautionary tale for guys like Wentz, Watson, and Mariota who all really hold onto the ball too long, try to play hero ball and get punished for it with injuries.
K W i just saw this bc i didn’t have notifications on and i certainly agree. i’m scared that a huge talent like watson will be screwed but i mean they picked up the RT tunsils from miami but they gotta get better there
FLEMLORAPS YOU ARE DOWN TO EARTH STRAIGHTFORWARD UNBIASED AND PHENOMINALLY INTELLIGENT. YOU SHOULD BE VOTED NUMBER ONE UTUBE CHANNEL. PROUD TO BE A FELLOW OHIOAN BROTHER. GO BROWNS. LOVE YOU BROTHER
Shoutouts to Schefty for revealing Luck's retirement midgame. Such a shitty move, couldn't he wait like an hour to announce it formally instead of exposing Luck to those angry fans?
No because when you choose the career of a sports reporter it's very competitive... You must break a story as soon as you get the news because if not someone will beat you to the punch
Your constant concern for individuals tells me what kind of man you are. You, Sir, have nothing but my ultimate respect. Thank you for this channel. Thank you for the positive messages you put out there on a consistent basis. The internet can be a rather bleak place to be. You shine a very bright light. Keep it up.
definitely did not deserve Luck.. worst fans ever.. Im not American but I luv the sport..Luck is a humble person and for the COLTS fans to treat him that way I feel sick.. guys shoul be ashamed..
I don’t think people realize how tough he was. I tore my trap in college. It hurt to take deep breathes. Eating, showering, watching TV constant pain. Rehab was 6 months. Started playing again and seperate the same shoulder a month later. That ended my playing career. Wasn’t worth it. His injuries were far worse than mine. Couldn’t imagine!
Thank you Andrew Luck!!!! I wish you had a better O Line and could have played longer but have a great rest of life. Hopefully we’ll see you as an awesome coach!
I’m a colts fan as I was disgusted at our fans for booing the man. He’s a great guy and a lot of us are thankful for him and all the success he’s brought us. Thanks Andrew for all the moments mad respect ✊🏻💙
@@deangulberry1876 why don't you take the hits he took dick head. Why don't you try going through the painful cycle of injury, rehab, and re-injury for multiple years. He literally had a lacerated kidney and was pissing fucking blood. There's more to life than football.
The Colts did to Andrew Luck what the Washington Redskins did to Robert Griffin. They never gave Luck the protection he needed. The Colts fan that booed him should mad at the organization.
Thanks for speaking the truth!! Those fans are not real fans. Let anyone of them, take one hit from an NFL linebacker, maybe they’ll have a change of heart.
Now Joe Burrow looking like he might be the next to deal with this and it's just his rookie season. People say holding out, demanding trades or trying to find ways out of getting drafted into bad situations is selfish but Luck was once considered a generational talent and almost a lock for the hall of fame and yet now he's out of the league and already admitted he's having difficulty just functioning as a human being with all the hits he's taken. Sometimes you gotta look out for your own health because the people who should be looking out for you couldn't care less.
Joe Burrow wasn't even the most pressured rookie QB. This is just a short sighted comment. Even if he decided to force his way from Cincinnati, what is he going to do force his way to one of the 4 teams that allowed more pressure than the Bengals? If your a top pick you go to a bad team but at least the Bengals have shown they can consistently field a playoff team w/o a great QB, something none of these teams like the Jets can say.
Luck did the right thing. At the end of the day, his health is more important than any game. Colts cap room is ridiculous, they had a ton of money even before Luck retired and Lawrence won't enter the draft until 2021.
@@codylanham6699 yes. Gave up. Idc its way more honorable to go out with a bang like crumbling out there trying. He was cleared to fucking play and low and behold hes injured in his ankle randomly. The entire effort is pointless if ya dont follow through. Anyone defending that pussy behavior hasnt watched a real tough qb like cam.
Man watching this back after almost a year is pretty heartbreaking. I never legitimately felt emotional pain from any sport, even when losing a district championship back when I played ball, until that day. I’ll never (and never did) hold anything against Andrew because I fully understood his reasoning. I’ll always be a fan of his and, as us true Colts fans, will always love and support his every decision. We miss you Andrew, but will always be rooting for you. Thank you. -Andy
Flemlo I love your videos bro. You're very intelligent and your words are carefully thought out and extremely intuitive. I can tell that you're stories reflect your actual love for the game and are not made to cause controversy or hate towards anybody. Too many UA-cam ers are doing nothing but trash talking athletes and you are doing it in a different way. Keep doing what you doing bro love
FlemLo growing up in Texas playing football (graduated in 09) I always heard about and followed the legend of Luck man it broke my heart to see this shit.. Much respect Andrew💪💪💪
They gave us two Hall of Fame QB's before, one who is now our GM and the other who had a broken neck but came back even better. They should also give us Andrew Luck so he can win a Super Bowl or two under a team that actually cares about protecting its stars. Fuck Indy. I hope they become the new (now old) Browns and suffer several 0-16 seasons for the way they treated Luck.
It's about time an athlete turned the tables on an owner.. I'm happy for Luck and fully support his decision. Nobody would boo Irsay for his bullshit. Love you Andrew, thanks for all you gave it. (And I'm a Jets fan)

debs99772 Right everything happens for a reason Luck Was an Great Player in My Eyes it Was Just His Time His Body Gave Up On Him But I Wish Him The Best
And people are calling him a quitter. Does a quitter lead a 28 point comeback in the playoffs, does a quitter win comeback player of the year. Don’t be angry that it ended, be happy that it happened. Luck should be proud of what he accomplished

I’m a Colts fan with an Luck jersey that I hung on my wall with all respect for Luck, he did so much for Indy and was betrayed by his own fans while he was battling physical and mental injuries while having a family relying on him and if he maybe never retired he could’ve had permanent physical and mental injuries
All respect for Luck ✊
As a colts fan it hurts, i wish the best for luck in his future in whatever he does
lil fai he may be like Ricky Williams and come back after having a few years to recover.
He plays QB and can still sling it so it’s hardly out of the question.
Damn RG3 and Luck could have been one of the greats if they never have gotten injured
Both had organizations that ran them into the ground
Reminds me of what the Lions did to Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson all those years. At Least now he has the proper coaching staff behind him now
@Dallas Dee Jordan true.
Damn gronk and Andrew luck retiring before Tom Brady who the f would’ve guessed that
@Ghost Music exactly what i was going to say. 😆
Thats why I'm glad Tom isn't athletic. I dont mind if it takes a qb 18 years to get to 1000 yards.
Luther Ross Turner he’s athletic just not when it comes to speed. Also, why are you glad he’s not “athletic”?
Well, Keith Richards is still alive so...
Gronk will be back
Bro, I’m glad you touch on the schedule of a student athlete. You’ve mentioned it in quite a few videos, and I think it’s something that people wouldn’t really know unless they did the research, or know someone who’s a student athlete. I wasn’t a student athlete, but I went to Texas Tech, and had a few friends who were on the football and basketball teams. And, the only time you would see them was either on a Saturday night during the off-season, or on a Sunday. But that’s it, their schedules are crazy crazy full.
Great video man. I’ve always had love for Andrew Luck. Maybe because I’m a Texas boy too, or maybe because the dudes done some incredible things.
Colts ruined Andrew luck. If they didn’t wait so long to give him a line he wouldn’t have gotten injured so badly
Agree 100%
I remember when Irsay was quoted saying Luck's injuries were "a thing inside of his mind".
Jim the owner of the colts probably still free basen off Proscription drugs he fuck up Payton manning too dam Asshole!!!!
christopher R I blame Grigson. He and coach pagano didn’t have a good relationship and Grigson was cutting all of our good players except Luck and TY. He replaced our OC Pep Hamilton, which Luck and TY were doing fine under. Then Grigson got Tob Chudzinski which only made things worse. The fans wanted Grigson gone but, we still had all of Grigsons trash staff in the 2017 season which caused Pagano to be fired
The owner has busy buying lines of coke instead of buy an O-line .
dan cash DAMN RIGHT.
Timeout the colts have had the best opine in da nfl last year
@@jonathanmushi5839
Sure last year, but what about before that?
@@jonathanmushi5839 they ignored the oline for 7 years and you bring up the 8th. Lol. Credibility lost.
@@jonathanmushi5839 as a matter of fact O-line was a concern in the last few years Peyton was there. Go look up articles talking about the Colts O-line from 2010. It might be good to be grounded in context of reality.
Yall remember the year the colts had had 5 starting quarterbacks all due to injury. I ain't gonna blame the man for nothing.
If you listen to the Pat McCafee podcast he once told the story of him(a punter) being in the quarterbacks room during meetings all week. He even said he was getting reps at QB in practice during the week
@@tyruss23 yeah and? Danny White.
@@lutherrossturner6732 What do you mean and? He was a printer getting reps at QB. Wtf?
@@dankburrito4219 do you know who Danny White is?
@@dankburrito4219 nvm that'll take too long. I was being sarcastic Danny White took over starting qb when Staubach. Staubach was was the Cowboys hall of fame qb from the 70s. Danny White should have never been more than a punter. Look him up watch highlights its sad really. Patty McAfee wouldnt allow himself to be Danny White bad though.
didnt know about some of the specifics of his injuries, its pretty englightening and much respect to you FlemLo
Watching the joy slowly fade from Lucks face as his fans start booing him, you could tell it hurt him, and watching that can almost make a grown man cry
I was embarrassed to be a colts fan seeing that.
I think Gridiron Heights Luck would cry as soon as he hear "B-".
That's just so f*cked up.
I'm glad he's gone so he can live HEALTHY and HAPPY life.
I hope the Colts go whatever record they had in 2017 again.
@Joshua Carlos a genuine nice guy who loves the game of football and his organization. Colts fans are fucking disgusting for that shyt.
Exactly man, I start to choke up every time I see it on TV. So just imagine how he felt.
I'm not even a Colts Fan but I know how much he did for that Team and City! He gave them his all when obviously they didnt deserve it!
What a Shame the world we live in People can be So Selfish
This from a Browns fan: Don't blame all Colts fans, though. That was a few thousand assholes. I live 25 minutes east of Indy. Haven't heard one person cursing him. People are sad to devastated, but not hating Luck. And yeah, I didn't even cry as a small kid when the Drive and Fumble happened, but my eyes were burning last night for real. I've talked to several Colts fans, and they all hate what those asswipes did.
To the fake Colts fans that are burning his jersey, you are truly not one bit of a Colts fan.
Facts
Alot of Sports fan are hyper emotional children. One reason I stopped following sports really annoying fans.
Big facts
👍👍
Not one bit of a compassionate human being either!
Respect for that man choosing a healthy full life rather than severely crippled by his 50s
I can't help but feel terrible looking at video of Jerome Bettis. Yeah, he went out a Super Bowl champ in his hometown but cat can barely walk.
Then tell him to give us back our 25mil he is gonna get this year...
In my opinion this is probably the best sports related video I’ve seen since the Patriots “do your job”. You’re so talented man, 2020 is going to be big for you.
As a lions fan I would NEVER do that to Calvin Johnson, I’ll be honest I just cried lol. But still, these players do so much for us.
No they don't. They dont do anything for YOU. they do it for a paycheck. Don't kid yourself
@@mikecheeze4312 Kick rocks!
Me too. I'm a lions fan and would never Do that to Barry Sanders. Our top 2 best all time players. Then they boo Andrew luck, a guy who almost led them to the super bowl. So wow, just wow.
When Calvin retired I was heartbroken, but the man needed to do what he needed to do. At the end of the day they play football for OUR entertainment. A good life quality after football should be put before our entertainment.
Sharp Lefty mostly for the money and their love for the game not really for the entertainment. Some players enjoy playing for fans and hearing them cheer for them more than others
playing hurt really takes away the fun. most athletes can relate
It's literally why gronk retired. Ability wise he is far from done being he still the best blocking TE in the league with the ability to catch, he could easily take a reduced role and squeeze out another couple of years. But I don't think anyone has ever been through as many chronic injuries as he has.
Most people don't consider how much of a decider pain is. In Gronks case we're talking about the greatest TE ever and that's without him ever being healthy. And as much as I dislike the colts, it's clear Luck could have ranked high on the all time list if he had health on his side.
Who knows maybe he sits out the year, gets some time to enjoy being healthy and maybe he comes back. I personally think they could have just IR'd him and give him as much time as he needed out of curiosity but like I'm not irrsay (if nothing else I can't afford the coke and I never had a DUI)
But yea, from a pats fan hope this dude gets to enjoy life, he's kinda worked hard for it ^_~
This is probably my first ever comment on a UA-cam video. And it’s because I enjoy the way you put out the information. I also enjoy the positivity that you bring in your storytelling. Bro you need to be in mainstream media for real. Thank you and keep doing what you do. I’m a real big fan. Keep killing them bro.
TheHawkins9393 he needs to keep this up and stay independent and grow. MSM is fake as fukkkk. All those fans booing luck watch main stream media.
I'm not gonna lie, I was mad at first. But watching his press conference I knew why he was retiring. I completely understand why he left. He has a family he has to take care of. You cant do that if your body is broken. I got nothing but love for him. As a colts fan I would like to say thankyou.
This reminds me of when the Browns fans cheered Tim Couch for getting injured in a game.
Factory of sadness
Fans are the shittiest sometimes. Sorry no way of knowing if thats how you spell shittiest.
Or when Matt Cassel got injured and the fans cheered
The colts let him keep the 24 million and change. 👏👏👏.
Not Calvin Johnson or Barry Sanders
You mean he kept the money he earned?
Indy is garbage....that was his money
As they should.
Chris Beverly your trash
Andre Luck was the model QB. Skilled, Smart, Great Attitude. We're gonna miss him out there
This is one of the many videos and monologues that show how amazing FlemLo is. He’s a great person showing us the way. Much love ❤️
This video made me respect Andrew Luck’s decision even more than before
nice vid👍. everyone who booed him needs to realized how Luck was treated by the Colts with no help at the O-Line. he deserved a lot better
Joe Cusumano Even though the line was bad I don’t think Luck was able to adapt his playing style until this year to not always take the big hit. I think that his story needs to be a cautionary tale for guys like Wentz, Watson, and Mariota who all really hold onto the ball too long, try to play hero ball and get punished for it with injuries.
K W I mean he also didn’t have a good O line till this last year too. The damage was already done
K W i just saw this bc i didn’t have notifications on and i certainly agree. i’m scared that a huge talent like watson will be screwed but i mean they picked up the RT tunsils from miami but they gotta get better there
Will always be my favorite player💙 hope he finds his happiness
FLEMLORAPS YOU ARE DOWN TO EARTH STRAIGHTFORWARD UNBIASED AND PHENOMINALLY INTELLIGENT. YOU SHOULD BE VOTED NUMBER ONE UTUBE CHANNEL. PROUD TO BE A FELLOW OHIOAN BROTHER. GO BROWNS. LOVE YOU BROTHER
Shoutouts to Schefty for revealing Luck's retirement midgame. Such a shitty move, couldn't he wait like an hour to announce it formally instead of exposing Luck to those angry fans?
Who?
Alonzo Evans Adam schefter
No because when you choose the career of a sports reporter it's very competitive... You must break a story as soon as you get the news because if not someone will beat you to the punch
@@klaykopotna8585 Very true. Though that doesn't change the fact that I feel Schefter is a pest sometimes. The guy rubs me the wrong way.
Crimson koba he gotta do what he’s gotta do. You can’t really blame him. Not his fault for the way they reacted
DAMN FLEMLO, A BUSY WEEK FOR YOU MAN. AND YOU KEEP DELIVERING 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s crazy that Brandon Weeden was only a year younger then Luck is now when he got drafted in 2012
Kayman234 damn
and the browns were dumb enough to draft weeden in the 1st round lol
PersonalTea338 that’s how the draft works.
Or that Steve "Young" was older when he took over for 49ers.
@@personaltea3389 Asshole. But you're right😃😃 Don't forget Quinn and Manziel. Drove 12 hour round trip for Quinn's damn debut.
Your constant concern for individuals tells me what kind of man you are. You, Sir, have nothing but my ultimate respect. Thank you for this channel. Thank you for the positive messages you put out there on a consistent basis. The internet can be a rather bleak place to be. You shine a very bright light. Keep it up.
The Colts fans didn't deserve some one of Luck's caliber. He was a class act all around.
Hanzo Zer0 .. Man I’m glad Romo retired
definitely did not deserve Luck..
worst fans ever..
Im not American but I luv the sport..Luck is a humble person and for the COLTS fans to treat him that way I feel sick..
guys shoul be ashamed..
Jeff Razul Gingco BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dean Gulberry wahahahahaha
Everybody needs to flood Andrew Lucks twitter with all of this positive energy.
Chuck Visuals omm
Chuck Visuals he doesn’t have one
I have watched this man rip apart my Titans year in and year out, and even I didn’t cheer this mans retirement. Best of luck Luck going forward.
Same bro and I'm a Die hard Titans fan and I didn't cheer. I really wanted to see our team finally beat him this year. Nothing but respect
I respect your guys’ respect!
Nothing will change this year
Same here as a Jags fan, I am fine with his decision to hang it up, but I didn't boo the man
I don’t think people realize how tough he was. I tore my trap in college. It hurt to take deep breathes. Eating, showering, watching TV constant pain. Rehab was 6 months. Started playing again and seperate the same shoulder a month later. That ended my playing career. Wasn’t worth it. His injuries were far worse than mine. Couldn’t imagine!
Thank you Andrew Luck!!!! I wish you had a better O Line and could have played longer but have a great rest of life. Hopefully we’ll see you as an awesome coach!
If Flem doesn’t call someone “dude” or “cat” in a video it means he’s being held hostage hehehe
no cap
Luck comes back in 2020 to be the highest paid player and corner Stone to the XFL
Negative. Front office tho
I’m a colts fan as I was disgusted at our fans for booing the man. He’s a great guy and a lot of us are thankful for him and all the success he’s brought us. Thanks Andrew for all the moments mad respect ✊🏻💙
I'm proud of Andrew Luck for making the best decision for him and his family!
FrancosBabyGirl and screwing over the team and the fans that was nice too
@@deangulberry1876 why don't you take the hits he took dick head. Why don't you try going through the painful cycle of injury, rehab, and re-injury for multiple years. He literally had a lacerated kidney and was pissing fucking blood. There's more to life than football.
The Colts did to Andrew Luck what the Washington Redskins did to Robert Griffin. They never gave Luck the protection he needed. The Colts fan that booed him should mad at the organization.
THANK YOU.
The colts did to him what they did to Manning
They had a different gm and coach that all change last season
Not a texan fan, but im starting to get worried about Watson he was in a similar postion last year taking hits
Henry Meynier when rg3 tore his acl his owner made him play, Carson wentz has a good line top 15
Thanks for speaking the truth!! Those fans are not real fans. Let anyone of them, take one hit from an NFL linebacker, maybe they’ll have a change of heart.
Now Joe Burrow looking like he might be the next to deal with this and it's just his rookie season. People say holding out, demanding trades or trying to find ways out of getting drafted into bad situations is selfish but Luck was once considered a generational talent and almost a lock for the hall of fame and yet now he's out of the league and already admitted he's having difficulty just functioning as a human being with all the hits he's taken. Sometimes you gotta look out for your own health because the people who should be looking out for you couldn't care less.
Joe Burrow wasn't even the most pressured rookie QB. This is just a short sighted comment. Even if he decided to force his way from Cincinnati, what is he going to do force his way to one of the 4 teams that allowed more pressure than the Bengals? If your a top pick you go to a bad team but at least the Bengals have shown they can consistently field a playoff team w/o a great QB, something none of these teams like the Jets can say.
This channel is top quality! Love your take on all these different dynamics. You keep it honest.
Luck did the right thing. At the end of the day, his health is more important than any game. Colts cap room is ridiculous, they had a ton of money even before Luck retired and Lawrence won't enter the draft until 2021.
Fans are fickle. The negative reaction to a man putting his health first is proof. We think athletes belong to us.
They booed cause he gave up 2 weeks before season.
@@micahjohnsonboxing6409 another dumbass who thinks athletes are their personal gladiators
Micah Johnson Boxing He actually notifies the organization in March that he was retiring but keep being a dumbass
Micah Johnson Boxing He actually notifies the organization in March that he was retiring but keep being a dumbass
@@codylanham6699 yes. Gave up. Idc its way more honorable to go out with a bang like crumbling out there trying. He was cleared to fucking play and low and behold hes injured in his ankle randomly. The entire effort is pointless if ya dont follow through. Anyone defending that pussy behavior hasnt watched a real tough qb like cam.
Man watching this back after almost a year is pretty heartbreaking. I never legitimately felt emotional pain from any sport, even when losing a district championship back when I played ball, until that day. I’ll never (and never did) hold anything against Andrew because I fully understood his reasoning. I’ll always be a fan of his and, as us true Colts fans, will always love and support his every decision. We miss you Andrew, but will always be rooting for you. Thank you. -Andy
I feel heartbroken for Andrew Luck, this man left his heart on that field. Have yourself a dam good one AL12.
What a career. I applaud him for having the courage to do what makes him happy.
Hate to see him go but I'm glad he left before the game crippled him. Lots of respect to the Colts organization for not trying to get the money back.
jo bo its the least they could do, they’re the reason he’s retiring
Lots of respect to the Colts organization for crippling him
Respect? for not surrounding him with a oline he literally was on the run or on his back every snap c'mon bro respect was no where
Flemlo I love your videos bro. You're very intelligent and your words are carefully thought out and extremely intuitive. I can tell that you're stories reflect your actual love for the game and are not made to cause controversy or hate towards anybody. Too many UA-cam ers are doing nothing but trash talking athletes and you are doing it in a different way. Keep doing what you doing bro love
FlemLo growing up in Texas playing football (graduated in 09) I always heard about and followed the legend of Luck man it broke my heart to see this shit.. Much respect Andrew💪💪💪
Man that opening scene when you have the bengals Helmet and shit. Makes you look like Cedric Benson. Rip
No wayne at the beginning = some serious sh*t finna go down

Facts
Yeah there was
Just wanted to say I appreciate your empathy and standards, man. Thanks for keeping things real.
The Colts organization threw away Manning (thanks btw from a Broncos fan) and now you guys treat this leader of your team this way... Shameless.
They gave us two Hall of Fame QB's before, one who is now our GM and the other who had a broken neck but came back even better. They should also give us Andrew Luck so he can win a Super Bowl or two under a team that actually cares about protecting its stars. Fuck Indy. I hope they become the new (now old) Browns and suffer several 0-16 seasons for the way they treated Luck.
Would have have won a super bowl if he was healthy
I'm a broncos fan also
S Choudhry to bad that won’t happen 😂🤣
@@stpbasss3773 thanks for sharing
It's about time an athlete turned the tables on an owner.. I'm happy for Luck and fully support his decision. Nobody would boo Irsay for his bullshit. Love you Andrew, thanks for all you gave it.
(And I'm a Jets fan)
I have it on some pretty firm authority that Colts fans absolutely LOATHE Jim Irsay.
Flemlo always with the fire vids. Keep it up!
I love that you provide such wonderful insight to situations like this. What an absolute breath of fresh air. Thanks for articulating these valid points to the hip shooters out there. Keep up the good work you've earned another subscriber amigo.
I admire him for doing what he wanted to do for him and his family. Nice breakdown again, Sir!
I think that this was your best video ever. Well researched, well thought thought out, and expressed with compassion and understanding.
i remember creating Andrew Luck in madden 12 after he got drafted because i didn’t wanna wait till M13 to play with him...he’s gonna be missed
Xclusively Great me too
Overall rating all 99% hahaha I respect that 😂
I've been trying to figure out what Luck said on his way back to the locker room. I think he said "Man..."
If you slow it down it looks like to me he says "oh come on.." and then "I'm fine" a few seconds later. Super heartbreaking.
Yo flemlo well said... Great vid! Couldnt have done this video any better
They really should have took better care of Andrew Luck.
Facts brotha
Or sista 🙏🏽
Really appreciate the hard work for this video thank you for this!
I swear that background music just makes me feel calm. Like in a super luxury lounge or something
That look on his face on his way out was sad bro.🙏🏽
Much love for Andrew Luck💪🏼Coming From An Steelers Fan He Made The Right Decision You Gain An New Subscriber Bro Keep Up The Good Videos💯
Steeler fan giving more love to Andrew Luck than the Colts fans are, that's pretty sad.
debs99772 Right everything happens for a reason Luck Was an Great Player in My Eyes it Was Just His Time His Body Gave Up On Him But I Wish Him The Best
This video summed up into three words: GMs, O-Line, Injuries.
Oh but you was booing em yesterday. I saw at the game so shut yo bitch ass up.
Thalonius P. Funk how would you know that are you to rivals, former friends? what exactly?

And people are calling him a quitter. Does a quitter lead a 28 point comeback in the playoffs, does a quitter win comeback player of the year.
Don’t be angry that it ended, be happy that it happened. Luck should be proud of what he accomplished
All time Colts great. It's a shame he could not get protection!! If he could play longer he would be a Hall of Famer.
