On Tuesday the Colts held a Town Hall event emceed by Sports Illustrated’s Peter King. Guess who was noticeably absent? Andrew Luck, the person that everybody wants to see. The person that everybody’s concerned with the most. So instead of bein’ there he did a pre-recorded interview with King that was aired for the audience.
Durin’ the interview he says, “Oh, surgery is not an option for me right now. I feel very, very good about where I am. So that ship has sailed in my mind, which is also a bit of a relief. I’m not going to lie.”
He goes on to say, “It’s been a long journey to this point, and it’ll still be a long journey until hopefully we get what we need to get done in Indianapolis. The rehab has been hard at times. The one thing I know in my heart is that I am getting better, and I’m feeling great. I’m extremely optimistic. It’s been fun to see myself improve, so really I couldn’t be more excited for this offseason and for our new coach — everything that’s happening — and where the direction of the team is going.”
Well…he’s sayin’ all of the right things. He’s tellin’ the fans what they want to hear. I just hope that it’s movin’ in that direction because over the past year you haven’t been able to believe anything comin’ out of the 56th street (Colts Complex).
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Last August I told everybody that would listen that Andrew Luck wouldn’t play a single snap in the 2017 football season. I wrote it, I said it on several radio shows across the country and even told every dun in the barber shop that ole boy wouldn’t play a down and he didn’t.
The problem was, when I said it, nobody was willin’ to listen. Durn’ the entire off-season of 2017 it was crickets over at the Colts complex whenever the question was even raised about his health. Boyz were dasncin’ around that one like Irene Cara is Flash Dance. When nobody’s willin’ to be upfront with what’s happenin’ they’re hustlin’ you.
Remember when they told the media and fans just recently that he went to the Netherlands to rehab a football shoulder injury? Stand on your head if you believed that. You’re tellin’ intelligent human beings that he went to the Netherlands to rehab in a country that doesn’t play football? Wouldn’t it make sense to rehab in the country with all of the football experts and trainers?
Don’t tell us that foolishness! Tell us that he went over there to get treatments that aren’t approved in the United States. Then we can talk but to tell folks that he was rehabbin’ is to hustle everybody in the room and everybody listenin’ to that foolishness.
Keep in mind that I grew up in G.I. and that I can spot a hustle gettin’ out of the car down the street with a hoodie on.
When you start off tellin’ me that you’re not considerin’ a second surgery you’ve already jumped off of the cliff with somethin’ that makes no sense. If you’re gettin’ better and the rehab is workin’ then why would you even bring up not considerin’ a second surgery? If you’re gettin’ better why would second surgery even come up.
That’s like a person that’s recoverin’ from knee surgery that’s makin’ great progress tellin’ you that he’s not considerin’ another knee surgery. Why would that even come up if he’s progressin’ well?
None of that even adds up. If he’s in the state of progression with the shoulder why does the thought of reassurin’ people that he’s not even considerin’ a second surgery even part his lips? Again, you’re tryin’ to hustle a hustler.
I hope that I’m wrong but I’m not believin’ a word the Colts or Andrew Luck says until I see that dun throwin’ footballs this off-season. Why? Because it all stinks from the top to the bottom. Now 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!”
