Commentary: Andrew Luck Walks Away While He Still Can

Commentary: Andrew Luck Walks Away While He Still Can

August 25, 2019 

By John Krull
TheStatehouseFile.com 

INDIANAPOLIS – Maybe Andrew Luck quit because his head is on straight.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback’s retirement announcement caught everyone by surprise. It also prompted some people who should have known better to start criticizing a young man for trying to make the wisest choices with his life.

I’ve known former NFL players.

Some are fortunate. Even as they advance into middle-age or even old age, they still move with the grace and assurance of the superb athletes they once were. Time might have slowed them a step or two and added a few lines to their faces, but their years on the field didn’t seem to have left permanent marks on them.

Things didn’t go so well for others.

One guy I know is still in his 40s, but he moves with the gimpy stride of a man in his late 80s. Every step seems to cost him something.

Another former NFL player used to work out at the same place I did. He’d break into a sweat climbing a flight of stairs because it hurt so much to drag himself up them. His joints had taken such a pounding th toat almost everything caused him pain.

I should mention that neither of these guys is asking for sympathy. They played because they loved the game and because they were well paid for doing so. They made their choices and they’re living with the consequences of those choices.

But the choices were their choices.

Not the crowd’s choices.

Not the choices of some blowhard on a barstool or in sports talk show sound booth.

But the fact that these former players accept responsibility for the consequences of their career choices shouldn’t blind us to the fact that there were consequences.

Years ago, during my newspaper days, I spent some Sunday afternoons on the sidelines at NFL games.

Being up in the stands or even in a press box distances one from the action. Up close to and at the same level as the play it’s impossible to miss the sheer and incredible violence of an NFL game.

The players are huge, and they move faster than anything that big ought to be able to run. The hits can be horrific, like cars smashing into each other.

In fact, down at field level, an NFL game resembles a demolition derby, only with human bone, muscle and sinew being crunched and mashed rather than automotive metal.

It’s not a surprise that, at every game, several players either limp off or are carried off the field.

It’s also not a surprise that some of them never walk or move right again after being carried off.

I’ve never met Andrew Luck, but he’s always struck me as a thoughtful young man.

He’s gracious and self-deprecating in public. He shares the credit when the team succeeds and shoulders more than his portion of the blame when things don’t go well.

Even after he began to amass wealth on a grand scale, he still maintained a relatively modest lifestyle, driving an old car and even using an out-of-date flip phone for years after he’d hit the big time. He devoted large portions of his time and energy to charity and other good causes.

Luck’s anguish was palpable at the improvised Saturday night press conference announcing his retirement. He’d been booed as word leaked out at the Colts exhibition game that evening.

He said that stung.

Colts owner Jim Irsay said Luck could be leaving as much as $500 million on the table by quitting now.

But it wasn’t the money Luck talked about. He talked about his love for the game and for his teammates.

As always, a thoughtful young man.

But he also said he’d been in pain for much of the past four years and that he had to think about what he wanted his life to be like after his football days were over.

To all but the most boneheaded, it was clear he was making a tough choice.

Andrew Luck is walking away from a game he loves while he still is certain he will be able to walk.

That’s his right and his choice, a choice everyone ought to respect.

Senator Braun Announces More Dates on ‘Summer of Solutions’ Tour

0

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Braun is announcing the next week of stops on his Summer of Solutions Tour, visiting cities such as Liberty, Richmond, Spiceland, Batesville and more. Further events will be announced on Monday.

BACKGROUND

Below are a few of Senator Mike Braun’s solutions he will be discussing on the Summer of Solutions Tour, including proposals on lowering the cost of prescription drugs, the opioid crisis, student loans, federal spending, and economic policies:

  • Senator Braun: Restoring sanity to drug pricing.“Before being elected to the U.S. Senate last year, I spent 37 years building a business in my hometown, hiring hundreds of Americans and taking on the insurance industry to give my employees quality affordable health care while covering pre-existing conditions.  Today, I’m offering solutions to address the rising cost of prescription drugs by adding transparency to our pricing negotiations, clearing the way for more prescription drug approvals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and providing oversight and accountability for the pharmaceutical industry.”  (The Washington Times, 03/06/19)
  • Senator Braun: Two straightforward solutions to help combat the opioid crisis.“The opioid crisis is a plague on our communities that has left a devastating and permanent impact on Indiana and the country.  Here in Indiana alone, we have lost nearly 15,000 Hoosiers to drug overdoses since 1999 and the number rises each day. This year, opioids continue to be the biggest contributor in drug overdose deaths in our state. On average, we lose five Hoosiers a day to an overdose, and three out of those five individuals overdosed on opioids. Nationwide, we lose roughly 175 Americans a day to this crisis. … Hoosiers sent me to Washington to offer solutions. This week, I introduced two straightforward solutions to help combat this crisis through education and prevention: ensuring every patient knows the risks inherent in every opioid drug they take, and that every prescriber knows how these drugs can shatter – and end – lives.”  (The Herald Tribune, 05/20/19)
  • Senator Braun: Solutions to eliminate the student loan tax.“Today, Senator Mike Braun introduced the Student Loan Tax Elimination Act of 2019, which removes the ‘origination fee’ adding unnecessary debt to student borrowers’ overall student loan costs.  ‘Student loan origination fees are nothing more than a hidden tax that burdens students,’ said Senator Mike Braun.  ‘This legislation is a step forward and offers one solution to addressing our broken higher education system that fails to put students first.’”  (Press Release, 06/04/19)
  • Senator Braun: Solutions to finally get a grip on federal spending.“The massive spending deal, negotiated by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and agreed to by the president, looks poised to kill off the Budget Control Act of 2011—the law that was meant to restrain federal spending.  With that law on the way out, the question arises: Where can fiscal conservatives turn to exert real and lasting fiscal discipline?  Thankfully, two members of Congress have introduced a bill to do just that.  The Maximizing America’s Prosperity Act—or MAP Act—is a bill proposed by Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, and Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., that would limit federal spending to a fixed portion of the economy, adjusted for economic conditions.”  (Daily Signal, 07/25/19)
  • Senator Braun calls on Congress to back America’s workers and approve Trump’s USMCA Deal.“The last time Congress meaningfully debated trade between our two North American partners, the Buffalo Bills had just lost their third consecutive Super Bowl and Mrs. Doubtfire was in theaters. In 1993, very few Americans had a cellphone, and no one had ever heard of buying a book on Amazon.  This is why President Donald J. Trump decided to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The agreement was woefully out of date, and over time, our trading relationship with Canada and Mexico has fallen out of balance. President Trump kept his promise to renegotiate NAFTA, signing the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) in November 2018, but congressional Democrats are refusing to bring the USMCA for a vote because it pains them to admit that President Trump is successfully delivering real results for our economy. … As a Main Street entrepreneur who has created hundreds of American jobs, I applaud President Trump’s action to rectify the longstanding inequities in our trade relationships that have hurt American workers. Now it’s up to Congress to hold up our end of the deal and ratify the USMCA.”  (The Daily Caller, 06/04/19)

AG Curtis Hill Urges The FCC To Strengthen Efforts To Stop Robocalls

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to encourage telecom companies to implement call blocking and call authentication solutions that would protect consumers from illegal robocalls and spoofing. Today’s comment letter to the FCC comes after Attorney General Hill last week led a coalition of 51 attorneys general and 12 phone companies in unveiling the Anti-Robocall Principles to fight illegal robocalls.

“We hear Hoosiers loud and clear,” Attorney General Hill said. “Robocalls are a huge problem in Indiana and across the country. We must continue to use every means at our disposal to stop these annoying and sometimes harmful calls.”

In comments to the FCC, the coalition of attorneys general states that telecom providers should:

  • Offer free, automatic call-blocking services to all customers. The call-block services should be based on reasonable analytics and should not block important calls, including emergency alerts or automated calls for which customers have signed up (such as medical reminders).
  • Monitor network traffic to identify patterns consistent with robocalls and take action to cut off the calls or notify law enforcement.
  • Implement certain caller ID call authentication technologies that help ensure that telephone calls are originating from secure, verified numbers rather than spoofed sources. The coalition supports the FCC’s proposal to take regulatory action against telecom companies that do not implement the specified technologies.
  • Develop caller ID authentication to prevent robocalls to landline telephones. This is particularly urgent because many people victimized by robocall scammers are elderly consumers or live in rural areas, meaning they are more likely to use landline technology.

Many of these actions are also covered in the Anti-Robocall Principles, a set of eight principles focused on addressing illegal robocalls through prevention and enforcement. Twelve phone companies, including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint, have already signed on to the principles.
