INDIANAPOLIS, IN. — It was Monday Night Football in the Circle City and everybody and their baby’s momma was excited about it. It didn’t matter that it was a preseason game that didn’t count for, like my grandmother used to say, “A hill of beans” boyz were head over hills to see Andrew Luck live for the first time in 19 months.
Well playas…they saw him alright, darn near get his butt hurt again. Last week when the dun played in his first game in 585 days I said that was way more than enough. It was great that we saw him and now go sit his butt down until Week 1 because he’s way too valuable to the franchise to be foolin’ around durin’ the preseason.
Did they listen? Not at all!! They ran him out there on Monday night for 5 series and darn near got him destroyed. First of all, ole half blockin’ Anthony Castonzo didn’t play due to a hamstring injury and T.Y.Hilton was out because of a shoulder. So he’s out there without this No.1 protector and No.1 receiver in a game that means nothin’ and he’s already F-R-A-G-I-L-E.
Ole boy got sacked twice and one of them was by the beast Terrell Suggs. He went down on his right elbow and everybody includin’ Uncle Leroy held their breathe. He popped right up but for split second the season flashed before every Colts fan’s eyes. Are you kiddin’ me?
After the game Luck had this to say, “I told someone after the game, ‘I’m sort of happy to get sacked by Suggs, a legit sack. I landed on my right elbow sort of reminiscent of how I injured my shoulder a couple of years ago [in Week 3 of the 2015 season]. I didn’t feel anything. Didn’t give it a second thought. That’s a big deal for me, being able to lose that thought bubble.”
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Sit that dun down!!! It’s just that simple. What are we tryin’ to accomplish? The Colts are much better to watch with him on the field in a uniform than they are with him on the sideline in street clothes.
Yes, I know that they are tryin’ to get into a rhythm but the risk doesn’t outweigh the reward playa. Let him build the chemistry and get used to the game speed after Week 1 because he’s the headliner. If he’s not on stage nobody’s comin’ to see the show. This isn’t Chicago, Oakland or Cleveland. Those fans show up when those teams are 0-16 year in and year out.
Let the Colts start losin’ and without the headliner too? That joint will be empty on Sundays. These folks around here aren’t diehard football fans they’re all in if they’re winnin’! PERIOD. They might show up if they’ve got a fifty/fifty shot at winnin’ if Andrew Luck is playin’. So again, sit that dun down until Week 1 if you want to sell all of that beer and hot dogs you just ordered. Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
