The #Colts have known that QB Andrew Luck was seriously mulling retiring for at least two weeks. He’s married, he plans to travel the world, and once the love for the game waned, it sounds like he wanted to step away. So, he did.

Luck held an emotional impromptu press conference after tonight’s Colts-Bears preseason game to talk about why he decided to retire.
"I know that I am unable to pour my heart and soul into this position. … it's sad, but I also have a lot of clarity in this."

There were plenty of hot takes regarding Luck’s retirement but none of them were hotter than Doug Gottlieb’s take.
Retiring cause rehabbing is “too hard” is the most millennial thing ever #AndrewLuck

Gottlieb was immediately crushed over his dumb take.
Now isn’t time to say dumb sh**

I’m older than you. Shut the fuck up.

Doug come on, I hope you are kidding, and not just looking for attention, that’s just a ridiculous take

Congrats on winning ‘cuntiest take’ you imbecile.

It's one thing for fans to be upset. They don't know what athletes really go through. But for a person who played sports at a high level to spew this crap is ridiculously disappointing cuz I know you know better, but you sell your fellow athletes out for cheap reaches for clout

You only appear on my feed when you have an extremely bad take, which unfortunately means you’re there all the time

It’s “too hard” not to be center of attention for you apparently.
