Of the many layers and levels to the sudden decision by Colts quarterback Andrew Luck to retire from the NFL at age 29 is this: Could Andrew now go to work for his dad?Oliver Luck serves as the Commissioner of the XFL Andrew Luck Jersey White , a spring league that launches in February and that simply will not survive if it can’t attract or create star players. If Oliver Luck could persuade his boss, Vince McMahon, to dangle the money that Andrew would have made in Indianapolis plus maybe more over the next few years for a 10-game season against a lower level of competition, would he bite?It would be as shocking as his decision to retire from the NFL. But, then again, he decided to retire from the NFL.Andrew Luck wouldn’t be able to play for the XFL without the blessing of the Colts. Paragraph 3 of the Standard Player Contract makes clear the ability of the team to go to court to block the effort of a football player to play football for a different league: “Without prior written consent of the Club, Player will not play football or engage in activities related to football otherwise than for Club or engage in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury. Player represents that he has special Andrew Luck Jersey , exceptional and unique knowledge, skill, ability, and experience as a football player, the loss of which cannot be estimated with any certainty and cannot be fairly or adequately compensated by damages. Player therefore agrees that Club will have the right, in addition to any other right which Club may possess, to enjoin Player by appropriate proceedings from playing football or engaging in football-related activities other than for Club or from engaging in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury.”In English Womens Darius Leonard Jersey , this means that, for as long as the Colts retain Luck’s rights (and they surely will not release him from the reserve/retired list anytime soon), they can quickly and easily go to court to get an order preventing him from playing for the XFL.It’s entirely possible that the Colts secured a renewed commitment from Luck to the notion that he can’t play for the XFL as part of the negotiated financial settlement that reportedly has him owing the Colts none of the $24.8 million Luck has been paid but technically didn’t earn. Indeed, it would have been foolish for the Colts not to have sought that commitment before agreeing not to seek repayment. INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts kept insisting Jacoby Brissett could win games with his arm.On Sunday, he showed everyone else what the team knew all along.With Indy’s suddenly strong running game essentially grounded, Brissett shouldered the burden by throwing for 326 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to lead the Colts past Houston 30-23 to retake the AFC South lead.“It just says he’s legit, he’s the man Peyton Manning Jersey White ,” coach Frank Reich. “We believed that from day 0ne, and we’ve never wavered in our conviction or our faith in Jacoby. But he knows he’s still got to prove it. He’s still got to make plays to win this game and he did that today.”Brissett was masterful with the exception of a dropped snap the Texans (4-3) recovered at the Colts 4.He finished 26 of 39 with six of the incompletions being throwaways. He had a career best passing total, a career best passer rating (126.7), endured only one sack and had the perfect counterpunch each time Houston fought its way back into contention.The Colts (4-2) have now won two straight overall and three straight in the series.“It just makes us more balanced and I think that’s what we proved today — that we can throw the ball,” Brissett said. “It was just a great day for us as a whole.”And it only added to the Texans’ misery.They were held to field goals on three red-zone trips in the first half, had to contend with a rare “in the grasp” call that took one touchdown off the board, an overturned replay review that put another one on the board for Indy and a plethora of penalties that Brissett used to his advantage.“I’m not going to answer any officiating questions Womens Andrew Luck Jersey ,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said twice after Houston was called for 10 penalties.Then there was the fourth quarter.Houston (4-3) started it by failing to convert a second fourth-and-1 attempt, and Deshaun Watson threw an interception on the Texans next series before Darius Leonard sealed the win by picking off a tipped ball with 26 seconds left.Watson was 23 of 34 with 308 yards, one touchdown and was sacked three times as the Texans tried to play catch-up.Brissett started the opening flurry with an 11-yard TD pass to Zach Pascal. He rebounded from the fumbled snap by connecting with T.Y. Hilton on a nifty 2-yard TD pass to make it 14-6 late in the second quarter.After the Texans made it 14-9, Brissett opened the second half with a 4-yard scoring pass to Eric Ebron, who was originally ruled out of bounds at the end line. But the replay showed he got both feet down to give Indy a 21-9 lead.Houston cut the deficit to 21-16 on Keke Coutee’s 4-yard scoring run, but Brissett — with the help of three Houston penalties — answered with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Pascal.Watson made it 28-23 with a 4-yard TD pass to DeAndre Hopkins, but the Texans couldn’t get any closer.“He (Brissett) is a very productive player Malik Hooker Jersey , a very smart player,” O’Brien said. “He makes good decisions, just a good player.”STAT SHEETTexans: Hopkins had nine catches for 106 yards. Kenny Stills had four catches for 105 yards. … Carlos Hyde rushed 12 times for 35 yards. … Houston’s streak of consecutive games without allowing a sack ended at two. … The Texans have lost only two of their last seven regular-season division games — both to Indy.Colts: Pascal had six receptions for 106 yards and Hilton caught six passes for 74 yards. … Marlon Mack rushed 18 times for 44 yards. … Indy has scored at least 23 points in 11 consecutive home games. … The Colts defense has not allowed a 100-yard runner in 24 straight games.INJURY REPORTTexans: CB Phillip Gaines was carted off the field with what appeared to be a lower-leg injury with 1:49 left. … WR Will Fuller left during Houston’s first series with a hamstring injury and did not return.Colts: DT Carl Davis did not return after injuring his hamstring in the second half.THE BASEBALL WORLDLess than 24 hours after the Houston Astros won the American League title, Texans players were showing their support.Three-time defensive player of the year J.J. Watt arrived wearing a Jose Altuve shirt and on the field a handful of players continued their traditional pregame ritual of playing baseball with the end zone pylon.“They have a chance at a championship and a chance to do something special,” defensive lineman D.J. Reader said. “It’s exciting. I’m excited for those guys.”UP NEXTTexans: Return home next Sunday to host Oakland on the final leg of the Raiders extended road trip.Colts: Will host Denver next Sunday.
