Andrew Luck may have lost the battle in his first AFC Championship Game, but at least he also lost the war. Crap, that analogy really doesn’t work when you lose 45-7. There weren’t any moral victories for Luck and the Colts to take back to Indy, but at least they can take solace in his awesome beard and these amazing Civil War memes that were populating Twitter in the wake of the defeat. I guess you could say Gen Luck and his troops were run off the field of battle…

Dearest Martha,
Alas, my wounds are mortal. Please have my remains brought to our dear home.
Yours,

I love this way more than I should. I really hope “national write like a Civil War soldier day” joins “national talk like a pirate day” as a thing we all do. The Gen. A Luck now joins Mo Farah running away from things as my favorite sports memes.
