Andrew Luck Grilled by David Letterman

Andrew Luck got the New York treatment surrounding his selection as the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft – including that from David Letterman, who is a native of Indianapolis.

The first overall pick of Indy’s Colts, the former Stanford QB discussed replacing Peyton Manning, a task that Letterman seemed to emphasize as daunting.

We agree with the venerable late-night host; it won’t be easy replacing the all-time great Manning, but let Luck soak in the joy of perhaps the best night of his life before you scare him about not being able to measure up to his predecessor.

Not that Luck needed Letterman to tell him how tough it’s going to be, but we should remember that probing line of questioning is all part of Letterman’s longtime act.

Being a Stanford Graduate, Andrew Luck is rarther special to me and all of us at Stanford and Andrew is correct he can’t and really does not want to replace Peyton Manning since he is not replacable..Peyton is one of a kind.

Andrew, in the Stanford tradition, will figure out the NFL and the Colts and will give us many years of great NFL entertainment as what you would expect from a Stanford Grad.

  No offense Hank Curci, but your grammer in the first sentence is horrible. I would expect better from a Stanford graduate. A simple period every once in awhile is nice, and don’t drag out your sentences. Keep away from using the word “and” so much.

Hey Hank, does the ‘MS’ stand for Multiple Sclerosis?

Jesus I don’t see the point in posting your credentials like it’s a damn letterhead.

Only at Stanford

      why is it that everyone always violates the spirit of the blog by choosing to point out someone’s terrible spelling (which is actually usually only terrible typing) or poor grammar (which is actually usually only shorthand expression because, after all, it’s a blog not a graded essay), rather than contribute to a insightful discussion concerning the article?

He needs to be glad he majored in Math…he sure can`t spell.

How can you even see to write with your nose so far up in the air Hank?

Wow, it is really hard to properly convey arrogance in a comment but you certainly gave it the old Stanford Try.

I hope Andrew isn’t like you and can adjust to us “simple folk” in Indiana.

Hank did not go to Stanford. No one at Stanford spells that bad.

Hmm, I don’t see anything wrong with what Hank posted? I’m also a Stanford grad but that was longtime ago; and I abhor snobbery, with a passion!

(I have a longstanding record of reproving others for snobbery; especially in church people do I abhor such objectionable quality.)

Yet sometimes, folks with a chip on their shoulder, or inferiority complex, or both – misjudge the motives of others – and put words in their mouth that they didn’t say. Ascribe wrong motives they didn’ t have.

Let us take advice from Jesus, who warned we must take the Big LOG out of our eye, before we try to remove the Tiny Speck of sawdust out of our neighbor’s eye.

This is hyperbole, admonishing us not to judge others so harshly. But Andrew Luck surely seems like a nice young gentleman to me.
