Troy Aikman Eviscerates Doug Gottlieb Over Terrible Andrew Luck Take With NSFW Comment
By Adam Weinrib
Basically everyone on earth had the same reaction to Andrew Luck's surprise retirement: shock, disbelief, acceptance, and well-wishes.
Well, not Doug Gottlieb, the teenage credit card thief-turned-talking head. Gottlieb chose instead to call Luck a weak millennial for having a sense of self-preservation.
Retiring cause rehabbing is “too hard” is the most millennial thing ever #AndrewLuck

Honestly, Doug, what do you want? A man who's not invested continuing to cash checks, or someone who knows when to get out for the sake of all parties involved?
In case you thought Gottlieb's tire fire of a comment would die quietly, former Cowboys QB and FOX Sports lead analyst Troy Aikman decided to throw gasoline on someone who's tangentially his colleague. To the scorched earth video tape!
That’s total bullshit Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life? So you’re now the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck? And if his decisions don’t fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him? Guess that keeps you employed on FS1. Nice https://t.co/p59DsmPoER

Mercy!
Love the subtle dig about keeping him "employed at FS1," too. We all know it's lower-tier FOX.
Aikman from the top rope, indeed.

Aside from Sunday night's presidential discourse about nuking hurricanes in some capacity (???), this is by far the best thing we encountered as the weekend wrapped.

Who else is going to be 24 hours late to Gottlieb's brutal take tomorrow? Jim Irsay? Please say Jim Irsay.
