Andrew Luck

     I found out this news Saturday night while I was working (actually on a break) and saw on my phone that Andrew Luck, the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts was going to retire. Honestly, I was surprised OK not much of a shocker because it was a surprise to most people. Luck was heading towards his 7th season (not counting the 2017 season because he missed that season due to his shoulder injury on his throwing side) where he was Comeback Player of the Year last season. Granted there were questions about his calf and if he was going to be healthy to start the season or not however this announcement his career is over. Jacoby Brissett is now the starting quarterback for the Colts and yes he does have experience. It started with the Patriots in 2016 when he started for them for two games when Tom Brady was suspended (deflate-gate anyone) and Jimmy Garoppolo was injured and went 1-1. Then when Andrew Luck missed the whole 2017 season, the Colts traded for him and started him in week 2 and was the starter for the rest of the season. He did OK (over 3,000 yards, 59 completion percentage, 13 Touchdowns, and 7 Interceptions) though was 4-11 granted not all of it was his fault (ask youtube star Urinating Tree). Now we'll see if Brissett can lead an improved Colts team. Honestly, I can't blame Luck for retiring, maybe a little for the timing but I understand. Luck suffered a number of injuries including the Shoulder injury in 2017 and the calf injury recently. Some of that was blamed on the Colts front office not giving Luck a good offensive line. Don't go me wrong, give a young QB, receivers and a running back is good but giving him a good offensive line is even better. Even though the front office did give him an Offensive Line which included drafting guard Quenton Nelson sixth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft who made the Pro Bowl his rookie year the damage was done. We love football and I'm sure most of us would love to play in the NFL however football is a dangerous game. Football Players were more likely to leave the game to chronic injuries than other professional athletes. Rob Gronkowski retired months ago because of injuries. Don't be surprised if more NFL players retire early heck some already had and you don't know much about them because their not the big names that Luck and Gronk were. They would rather walk away from the game than limp off. As for the Colts fans booing Luck, shame on you. This guy doesn't deserve it. He gave you his all and did it without an O-line. Boo Irsay and Ryan Grigson (the GM who didn't gave Luck a good O-Line) not Luck. Enjoy Retirement Luck and I'm sure I'll see you on TV or something (please have him team up with Peyton Manning on a show or commercial, something). Also, good luck to Jacoby Brissett, may the Colts do as well as they did with Luck under center. Also, throw some touchdown passes to Deon Cain please (he's a Tampa Bay Tech alum). Also any chance the Colts can sign Colin Kapernick? Would Mike Pence have a pissy fit if that happens? Would Pence rather have Carli Lloyd kick field goals for the Colts? Also to those who still want to play in the NFL, I say go for it though have a backup plan or two and be careful out there.

I have Questions about Only Murders In the Building in the casting

I should say spoiler alert for those who haven't watch it yet. Also, it got a fifth season. Wanted to share Besides who was the target, Sazz or Charles. Anyway, it starts after the play happened which I hoping becomes an actual play on Broadway. Sadly for Oliver, the play only lasts one night as his producers, the mother and son team are facing Murder/Attempted Murder charges and using that money for attorneys. Well the Murder charge with Cliff could be dropped down to manslaughter possibly. That's a shame, I would have loved to see Oliver continue working on that show. Heck I would like to see the play made for real. Charles maybe though he was the only one relived the show ended and possibly Oliver's girlfriend Loretta played by the legendary Meryl Streep who landed gigs in Hollywood. However, it wasn't the end for our heroes as they got emails from Paramount Studio to do a movie on their podcast. Also, if you remember from the season three finale. Sazz, Charles' ...

More Guns doesn't mean more safety in schools

     After the Stoneman Douglas commission led by Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri suggested that school should armed teachers it's been a divisive topic. Heck, I lost a friend because I said he didn't care for his kids and he said among other things I crossed a line. I did I admit especially 1. I don't have kids myself and 2. How would I like it if someone said the same thing to me on me not wanting to arm teachers with guns? I would be pissed too. I know I have said a number of times of Facebook and here that Republicans don't give a shit about their kids. I think when it came to the election in 2016 (and to some extent 2018) a number of people wanted for most themselves like "sorry about your schools and the environment we're about to leave you with but daddy needs a job" or "Mommy needs a job". I know low of me to say especially since I probably still have Conservatives who have kids and aren't pissed at me yet. However, if you reall...

My dream Challenge season

     Not to be confused in my Gauntlet 2 dream post I did last summer. I wished Danny was still alive to ask him if he would have spared me from the next male elimination if he was team captain. Now back to the present. I'm been trying to figure a number of things really but one of those is what would my dream season of MTV's the Challenge. What if MTV gave me control of a season and who to put in (I know wishful thinking but I'm going there). My choice of format is going to be Bloodlines (I also have another dream format called the Wes vs Bananas but I don't know who I would put in team Wes and team Bananas because I don't know who friendly with either guy so I hold off until I heard from both guys or at least Wes because that bitch Bananas blocked me from Twitter and Instagram and yet I don't regret). Also, would I block that bitch Bananas and Ashley M from the Challenge? Thought about it and decided I won't plus Bananas is the franchise plus I want to see...
