What are your thoughts on fan reactions to Andrew Luck’s retirement?

[@Zuey1017]

The Herd with Colin Cowherd I love how Andrew and Aaron are smart but Cam has interests. Lmao

[@Emceend-channel]

My first reaction is....damn he must not be able to do it anymore. We all know his injury history....stop making excuses for idiots and their idiotic behavior. His injuries retired him, he didn't make a choice!!

[@mbp7060]

Those fans are selfish and disgusting.

[@crwmdp9]

Andrew Luck has every right to retire on his time frame, he is an adult. That being said this is another case of the, "its all about me generation", and another committment broken. Just like guys that sign contracts and want it renegotiated two years ahead of schedule or sit out. Did he leave the Colts organization, the fans and the NFL high and dry? Yes. I have to say this. While I think he was a good quarterback in no way would i call him a great QB. Last night, ( I need a life), I watched a replay of the Colts @ Chiefs Divisional playoff game. I have to say for most of that game Andrew Luck looked lost, confused, throwing into traffic in places where his recievers could not make a play. It wasnt like the Chiefs had a stellar defense last year. I've also seen that before from him in big time games from him. I honestly think that Jacoby Brissett with the current team will post as many wins as Luck would have with the team. But what is most disheartening is another committment broken. Did he not know when he signed on the dotted line that football is a hazourdous sport? He is a very intelligent guy. How did he miss that part of the equation.

[@frank-bmtz]

Indy fans are hypocritical. Indianapolis needs to stand by their team, and support their QB. Andrew made the right decision, he wanted his health over his money.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

COOOLIN Brady is the LOAT

[@ravens52raylewis87]

@Erick but without Brady do the Patriots beat Kansas City or the Rams in the Super Bowl? Be honest I know he wasn't the main reason but he still played a large part throwing for over 300 yards against the Chargers, converting three 3rd and 10s in a row during OT at Kansas City, and setting up the game sealing touchdown with a throw to Gronkowski in the fourth I give credit to the defense for that playoff run and honestly Stephon Gilmore should have gotten the Super Bowl MVP but let's be honest without Brady I'm not sure they stood a chance

[@RicardoGarcia-li7bw]

What about your colleagues ridiculous comment about Luck?

[@PeterCasual]

Colin is low key trying to suggest Cam and Aaron Rodgers should retire if they get injured LMAOO

[@adrianbuck8772]

I don't think he suggest they should retire but he can imagine that easily. Watson could be at this point in some years too. Good luck playing behind that o line. Especially if you have to face the Jaguars twice every season.

[@MarcusDailyMedia]

Cam and Aaron are in the mogul stage in terms of their personal finances, so it wouldn't surprise Colin if they were to divorce themselves from the game should they be injured.

[@andrewmcdonnell6369]

Not that they SHOULD but they COULD.

[@jonsnipe5484]

Make sense.. they always get hurt and they got money and can do things after football

[@musafawundu6718]

He is not suggesting that they should, he is saying that they might likely do so, given their injury history and also the money that they've made.

[@jetsteeltherealdeal7827]

My first reaction when I'd find out my QB retired is o well who cares,he don't pay my bills,or have any impact on my life,I'll sleep good at night...BFD

[@IsmokeHiphopLive]

That's because your a causal fan point blank period.

Braeden Newsome wow that's such a hot take....

[@jjoeyj83]

HermannTheGreat there’s no good QB’s coming in the next draft. Have to wait 2 years for Trevor Lawrence.

[@robertpitchardo376]

The one thing that all these sports shows are leaving out is that Andrew Luck has LOST THE JOY. When you no longer are enjoying what you've always had a passion for, it's time to step down, hurt or not.

[@maxespinosa02]

Robert Pitchardo That was Shannon’s biggest point on undisputed. He repeated that over and over but you’re right. He’s the only one that mentioned it. Probably because he was a player and it hit home with him

[@danielmocsny5066]

I guess that means Trump has not yet lost the joy of golfing on the taxpayer dime. Just like he promised he wouldn't do.

[@patricklemire9278]

The irony is now that the Colts finally rebuilt the line Brissett will probably surprise people (like Dak did with a line built to protect Romo).

[@GoodyearSimp]

If LeBron retired he would be the biggest bust ever to Rob😂

Someone who thinks of and influences people positively on global issues.

Andrew is smart looking out for his future. If he got seriously hurt or something like CTE I suspect everyone would be "so sorry" in the short-term and the world would keep spinning on.

[@xDamienBx]

Did he just say where is Anthony Davis ballhandling at? Does this guy not watch basketball?

[@WORKSbaby]

I love rob parker

[@kruegssportstalk3758]

Fans should be grateful instead of ungrateful. Andrew had to deal with punishment for so long and major injuries so many injuries he just didn't enjoy it.

U all do realize the colts are still going to pay him for this yr..

[@wuxiagamescentral]

Gotta love that guaranteed money

LMAOOOO Rob roasted doug at 8:23 🤣

i suspect about half or more of the boos were towards the owners and the front office.. they knew this was coming but kept it quiet to get season ticket revenue.

[@hardcorehouse]

Parker’s cool, is able to agitate thousands who he has in the palm of his hand.

[@leatherneck1061]

Oh God....finding myself in the disturbingly nauseating situation of agreeing with Rob Parker....I think I need therapy

[@Maal7432]

For the first time in my life, I agreed with everything Rob Parker said...

[@mcmaniac1000]

Barry got booed cuz he kind of played the fans. We understood not wanting to play for our TireFire Lions. But he didn't even acknowledge the fans until he had a book to sell and business ventures to support with better "PR".

[@MikeBNumba6]

Yup exactly

[@journalism101]

Rob Parker is right, fans have a right to boo. It's not like they threw items at Andrew Luck or threatened his safety. Them booing and being emotionally invested is what pays these players bills. Booing goes hand-in-hand with cheering. If fans were polite and fairweather, the networks and media wouldn't broadcast it.

[@jantz01]

I'm surprised Collin is backing the indy fans, it seems like he is always criticizing the fans

[@danielmocsny5066]

Well, they didn't throw batteries.

[@acetoearth6086]

Rob is actually just a troll, Doug however he’s a full blown clown.

[@garylewis3611]

Keep saying cam, cam career he’s only miss like 3 games

[@johnjones3121]

Yes but youth concussions are worse in soccer than football so it's a ridiculous that nobody talks about hockey or any other sports dealing with head injuries

[@TKK28]

More than the other players mentioned, Aaron Rodgers has his legacy to think about. He has a chance to be the goat or to make his case stronger so I think that'll motivate him to stay a bit longer even if gets hurt again.

[@granthardaway4125]

What alien took Rob Parker’s brain over? Parker actually made sense this time. Encouraging Rob Parker to go reread his skip Bayless book on how to be successful taking indefensible positions and arguing them with conviction.

[@hardcorehouse]

Psssst he always made sense u just didn’t realize it.

[@mastadabator]

Will D Rob Parker does likes to be antagonistic with certain top players. It is the Skip Bayless book. He trolls Lebron and Brady to get people talking about him. Skip trolls Lebron and Rogers.

[@hardcorehouse]

What you left out is that he’s often correct.

[@mastadabator]

Will D Give me an example? I just gave you 2.

[@wuxiagamescentral]

He has integrity but retired a week before the season... right

[@cameronsmith9314]

LordDragul Smitty the team already knew about him retiring before it was announced. He thought he would be ready by week 1 but his body failed him and he was tired.

[@GordoFabulous]

I place blame on Adam Schefter as well. He could have waited an hour, still had the scoop, and spared Luck from the fans' initial reaction.

[@bfoz]

Love hearing from Rob.

[@carolynweissspradlin9005]

Bring Rob Parker and Chris Broussard back as guest experts

[@rbi3522]

It’s not that he’s retiring, it’s WHEN. He could of retired before the draft, before free agency. But 2 weeks before reg season, that’s QUITTING.

[@robbchastain3036]

Lifetime Achievement Award to the Patriots, everyone else is standing in the shadows, no matter the fans or season ticket holders or anything. And it's not like Andrew is DB Cooper or anything, he's bailing out with his own money and it's his life and family and future. Let him land on his feet like any good sportsman.

[@johnmcnamara8741]

I hate to admit it but I understand the fans reaction. I don't agree with it whatsoever but it was a perfect storm, the news broke during the game so it was a heat of the moment thing( doesn't make it right) the fans were probably exited for a potential superbowl run and now the seasons basically over.

[@danielmocsny5066]

They were booing Jacoby Brissett too. The crazy thing is now the Colts finally have an o-line, so maybe Brissett has a chance.

[@JV-ix9rb]

Fanatics? Grow up people.

[@danielmocsny5066]

When science finds the cure for low IQ that's the end of professional sports as a business.

[@patricklemire9278]

The timing still strikes me as odd. Did Adam Schefter burn his source (maybe thinking Jay Glazer had same info...) or did his source want to burn Andrew Luck (by breaking news while he was on sideline).

[@danielmocsny5066]

The Colts should have given everybody a slightly different version of the news so they could trace the leaker.

[@ericdouglas7933]

I think the people are booing cause they wanted to hear it from him 1 not Adam schepnor

[@game_theory2547]

They were booing luck but mostly they were booing the situation in general. The Colts organization had been real quiet about luck not practicing and then all of a sudden he was retired. the whole situation kept fans in the dark until they got the worst possible news about their franchise quarterback.

[@MikeBNumba6]

Wow I thought for sure rob parker would go the other way just for a talking point

[@ricardotrimarchi2702]

You can’t blame Indy fans for booing Andrew Luck retiring was random to them and he was young they had no idea what was going on. With that being said Indy did Peyton dirty. Whenever you think Denver you think Elway, when you think Colts you thing Peyton Manning. When you have great player like Manning you don’t kick him out for player who has POTENTIAL to be like Manning

Idk if i would boo but id be very upset if my teams qb retired amidst post season hopes. That has to suckkkk

[@dougstamper7868]

Colts have Brissette and the guy is big, can run and throw, and I think that was a consideration. As a NE fan, Rob drives me crazy, but I agree with him here. Gronk come back? If anyone does, he would. He is a showman and loves the fans and they love him. Consider him coming back and pushing the Pats over the top, and what would happen in NE. Having lived up there '73-'11, the area would melt down!! Hope it happens.

[@jdigitalseven7]

I think Luck will still come back but 2 years from now. He said it was torture and it depressed him not being able to play just a few weeks ago....he will get that itch and will think about his opportunity to win a few superbowls if he does come back. Either way he has a great life ahead of him with or without football.

This decision couldn't have been made a month ago? But i wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do after football. Godspeed Mr. Luck.

[@maxespinosa02]

Ryan This is pure speculation obviously. But I think he wasn’t planning on retiring a couple months ago. But something must have happened to his leg recently to make the injury worse or Luck got news that his injury is going to take a lot more to recover from than they believed a few months ago.

Big problem with cash cow that fans created and ticket and jersey prices continue to rise.

[@danielmocsny5066]

Was football better back in the days when players barely got paid and had to work regular jobs in the offseason? Also, the owners make more money than the players. Is that reducing the owners' incentive to deliver a quality product?

[@materialgurl9138]

@@danielmocsny5066 Yes, it was. Why would you think employees should make more money than the owners? This is a consumer product period. Provide a competitive, compelling product and people will watch. Did you not see what hockey went through the past 20 years. The league was dead and playing games on the NBCs Outdoor Channel (something like that) and now improving their product thus viewership rising. Kills me to see consumers (aka fans) side with players. What do you get from Aaron Rodgers making 10's of millions a year? Nothing. Apple phones are no longer innovative and skyrocketing in price. CONSUMERS finally had it so Apple sees biggest drop in phone sales in their history. Owners and players could care less about YOU. I don't want to know nor do I care how money is divided between millionaires and billionaires. I want a quality product for a fair price. Prices are going up while quality is going down, that's all that I'm saying.
