Andrew Luck Is The Nicest Shit-Talker In Sports

If you’re one of those slapdicks who only enjoys athletes who “play the game the right way” and “act like they’ve been there before,” you no doubt love everything Andrew Luck stands for. He stayed in school to get his degree, he always puts blame solely on his shoulders, and gosh darn it, he “just wins, baby.”

The latest news on the Colts franchise quarterback should come as no surprise, either: he’s the nicest dude in the game.

At this point, I imagine all you traditionalists are just stroking your meat to 12 and his excessively positive demeanor. Sure, it’s refreshing to see a quarterback get hit and not immediately look for the flag, but this is just overboard. I need some fire in my gunslinger. I want him to seek out the corner who’s been shit-talking the entire game, get in his grill after a touchdown, and just lay it on him à la Tom Brady. Instead, Colts fans are stuck with this:

From The Wall Street Journal:

“You know if you hear a quarterback get mad, you are in his head,” [Nolan] Carroll said. “With Luck, you thought you hurt the guy, you hear ‘good job’ and you just say ‘aw, man.’”

“You want to say thank you but then you say ‘wait a second–I’m not supposed to like you!’” [Ryan] Kerrigan said.

Call me crazy, but I’m not buying him being this annoyingly humble. This has to be an elaborate ploy to get defenders to subconsciously let up on him, right? Where players have no problem suplexing Johnny Manziel and celebrating with the money hands, they’ll genuinely feel bad about blasting Luck. Meanwhile, 12 takes advantage and carves up the D like a cold-blooded killer. It’s not good sportsmanship, it’s some next level reverse psychology bullshit. Yeah, I’m on to you, Andrew.

        With the fantasy points he puts up and the money I’m going to win from the league, I might as well and call it prostitution.

    Favorite thing about him is that he uses a flip phone even though he’s making a shit ton. That’s gotta be a TFM.

        That’s his burner phone he uses to call all the prostitutes to give him VIP suite BJ’s

        Well aware of those posts, Mr Sleazy Asshole. Which is why I didn’t submit it to the wall, it just made for a good comment.

        As long as Tony Romo and Dez Bryant are healthy and ready, I think we’ll be good. Our running game wasn’t strong last night against the eagles and we still pulled out a win.

    In my opinion the most intimidating opponents are the guys that do not have to talk shit. They just let their playing do the talking. Like Teddy said “Speak softly, and carry a big stick”

      The most intimidating opponents are ones who could talk up a shitstorm AND back it up. Guys like Jordan and Bird would invite their opponents to watch them shoot a 3 right in their fucking face, then proceed to shoot said 3 right in their said fucking face every time.
