Like the shot that is historically credited with starting the American Revolutionary War, there was an announcement late Saturday evening that was simultaneously heard around the world, or at least that’s the way it seemed. No, it wasn’t a new deal struck between the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott.
It started when ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news that Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts would be calling it quits and retiring from the NFL at the age of 29. It literally shocked the world. From analyst to reporters, to players both current and former and especially to fans, this news was a total blindside.
