Now, Phil Rivers is absolutely dominating the NFL.
It is the story that everyone needs, that everyone's talking about,
and that nobody can get enough of.
We've got live TV crews filming the indoor practice facility in Indy.
Because the 44-year-old father of 10, Goddammit!
He's back!
It's Daggummit!
I'm not going to do it, Phil is.
Boy, I don't, I...
He still looks at Phil Rivers.
This is not going to go well.
I was going to say this is the story we need.
I think about two or three plays in,
we're going to realize this is not the story we need.
I mean, if you're expecting to be a superstar, yes.
If you think he can be better than the dusty backup option that they have,
I think he can.
Really?
He hasn't played in five years.
Look at his chin.
So let's set the line then.
Completion percentage over 50% over 200 yards.
You don't think that's reasonable.
That would be better than what they're getting from a third stringer.
He's filling up that helmet, isn't they?
He is.
That's Jack's girl.
Why are you so supportive of this?
Because he played for your team?
I love this guy.
I was going to say.
You're an unbiased sports reporter.
I'm absolutely not.
I'm a biased internet hack.
Very different than an unbiased sports reporter.
Jack, can we clip that?
I'm a biased internet hack.
I am.
1147 a.m.
I'm excited for this game.
What?
See?
I don't.
It's a nasty D.
Everyone thinks he's going to fail.
EVV he has some modicum of success.
He's huge to it.
You know what?
He went out, shoot.
You went out doing what he loved.
If he dies on the field Sunday, he died doing what he loved.
You go down swinging.
Now, can he do what Flacco was doing, which is get it out in a hurry, avoid contact and sacks.
Well, this is what I mean.
Like, it's not crazy that guys in their 40s could do this.
Like, it feels crazy.
But we said, T. Higgins and George.
Are they played for the Bulls?
No.
After 40.
Tom Brady won at what,
40s?
The greatest ever.
Aaron Rogers is shit.
There's still one.
It's more the delay than the age, I think.
Can we?
Is it any test of herty?
No.
Why wouldn't he still have been playing then?
Well, he retired.
Why does he not found work for five years?
Teams have been desperate for quarterback play before today.
He's got two.
older now. He's got two hobbies. He plays football and he makes kids. He's been busy.
Very, very busy. Fair enough. Fair enough. He's Grandpa now.
Grandpa Rivers. It's the story we need. The NFL, man.
It's never the story we need. A complete disagreement.
So have it.
You're not going to watch this? Even if it's a car accident, you're going to turn your neck and watch.
If this is the state of the NFL, this is no. This is not Mario Lemieux coming back from
cancer treatment in his prime.
No, this guy
This is Philip Rivers, who was never the most exciting
quarterback when he was in his prime.
Oh, come on. What are you trying to
call him a game manager?
No, I've just, but at the time, where was he?
10 quarterback all the time, for Yardage.
Oh, God.
Brady, Breeze, like,
Rogers, how many other guys
did he win?
Would he put ahead of him as far as being
exciting quarterbacks?
Let us.
Manning.
Montana?
Yeah, one of them.
Steve Young.
he's right there.
It's going to be a Hallfamer.
Sorry, guys.
Well, yeah.
Saying he won't be.
Oh, I don't want to see the Hallfamer come back and try to do something.
No one thinks he can do with 44.
I can.
It's studying that you're actually going to.
I would say it's going to work.
I'm saying this is a compelling story.
It's a.
It's a story in the NFL.
Is it a common one?
No, because it's a stupid idea.
If you're that desperate and dumb,
to happen.
I hope he just...
I'm with Ryan.
I think this is the best story of you.
Jack, just unbelievable.
PCE.
We can see a grandpa play in the NFL?
So if he comes out and does
the Aaron Rogers, like when he debuted for the Jets
and gets hurt on the first series?
Then it's, yeah.
Okay.
I don't want him to get hurt.
I'm just saying like, I am going to have to watch this.
I want to see how it goes.
I am not going to happen.
Because it could go horribly.
But there's also this part of me that's like,
it might bleep and work.
I think this will be so boring that it'll be...
Yeah, I don't think it'll...
I don't want him to get hurt,
but I don't think there's any way that he's good.
What's good?
I just asked him, like 50% completion in 200 yards.
That sounds good for 40...
It's not like their offense is built around the quarterback.
No, they're going to run the ball, get it out.
And do you short passes?
Do you think Seattle's going to...
That's why you want to watch is because he's going to hand the ball?
No, because he hasn't played.
This is the excitement quotient that you're...
It's a future Hall of Famer who's come back after being gone for five.
So did Plood Lemieux. How'd that go?
It was not a show of a hall favorite.
He'd be on the cusp of it, though.
Anyway.
He was talking, and we love Rivers talking.
No, we don't. We never mention River.
Here we go.
Shoot, like I said, shoot, heck yeah.
I was like, shoot, shoot, shoot. Like, man, shoot.
Dang, heck yeah.
It was shoot.
Shoot.
Like what in the world?
Heck yeah, it was awesome.
Let's go.
How about that?
That's the honest answer.
Like a happy.
I don't dislike this man.
I want him to be safe.
and raise his grandchildren.
Now, maybe there's another motive here, fellas.
Look, this is the all-time passing yardage in the history of the NFL.
Look who is about to pass old Phil less than 300 yards away.
Matt Stafford.
Not on my watch, young whippersnapper.
Unbelievable.
That's right, Dean.
He is a top seven all-time passing yards quarterback in the history of this league.
I didn't say his number, just when he was playing.
Yes.
They read one of those exciting offenses in the NFL for this whole career, yes.
Boy, it's a charger fan, hey.
It is, though.
Not to you, Ryan.
Points per game when he was there?
They were always elite.
How'd they do in the playoffs?
They had some really tough, painful exits, including when he played through a torn ACL.
See, but New England's a new England's trying to pin it on us.
Like, we're, how can't you be behind this?
And it's like, I'm supposed to get excited about the 45-year-old.
I like his passion.
I mean, obviously, am I getting, okay, guys, gather around, we've got to sit down and watch.
I'm going to have Red Zone on, and I will be interested to see what happens.
But I don't think it is going to be a great comeback story.
I think the Seattle defense, which is quite good, is going to be, oh, so they're probably going to run it.
So let's take away the run.
And then he's got the Houston D.
Like, he's basically the chance of success is so low.
But again, when you turn on Red Zone, I guarantee what Scott Hanson.
since it's open is.
You guys.
It's fell right for.
That's the story.
The zone.
Yeah.
Come on.
No.
Can I have your sign in?
Yes.
No.
So my password is password.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah.
Good.
I'm not giving you my password.
Is it really?
God,
no.
Because now you've not just told him,
you've told everybody watching.
And there's millions of people watch them.
They're going to find it real quick if that is my password.
Because I changed the O to a zero.
Ah.
And I wouldn't let any,
nope.
Let's move on.
You mentioned Rivers retiring.
I don't...
Did he...
He wasn't good enough to play in the league anymore.
He was crying and signed as a charger for one day.
That's...
I'm Philip Rivers, quarterback.
And I'm retiring a charger.
No, you're not.
You're liar.
He's fast.
He's crying?
Why are we watching this?
Let's go.
That's like four years ago.
I don't care.
That's just it.
I never...
Oh, they don't liar.
A bunch of...
bunch of man love for Phil Rivers.
There is the story of the season of the NFL.
We can't wait for the season.
I was wrong.
It's bigger than the Super Bowl.
And the World Cup combined, it is the largest issue facing civilization.
How will Phil Rivers do against Seattle D on Sunday?
We'll keep moving.
That's probably AI.
Do we have that footage, the news footage from his practice?
Can we see that again?
Yeah, want to run out again?
Do we have the feed of him taking the phone
call with him and Richardson. Phil
you wouldn't fucking believe this, but they're
actually reached out to me.
All right, so let's see here.
Gee, golly, shoot, I'm excited, boys.
Doggama, we're going to tear up
this Seattle day.
He's got that weird shot put release.
Yeah, he's got a weird. Always has.
That's how I throw, because
they can't get there on. My shoulders bugger
again. I don't yet either.
Do you think the receivers are like,
oh, boy. Yes.
I think they're looking at some dusty Thursday guy being on
Well, at least this guy's done it before.
But he also is a thousand years old and has his grandfather.
That's what he hasn't played in five years.
Five years.
Oh, shoot, no Zoom.
Ha ha!
I'll see you back, boys.
I don't know.
Again, to me, the story is,
who she is.
How bad is the state of affairs for quarterbacks?
Dean, you've got a chance.
When we are legitimately watching a team with a,
the Super Bowl could be a,
Super Bowl team are taking a guy
who hasn't played in five years and has
grandchildren to play in the
biggest and best sport in the planet.
It's the hardest job in the world and there's probably only
about 20 guys a year that can do it and the rest is just junk.
So when one of the guys that could do it at a high level,
even if he's older, you're like, maybe he's better than these other losers
and he might be right.
Does he look to you like a guy who's been keeping himself
in shape to be ready for an opportunity?
should it present itself?
He was still already left.
Yeah.
He's bigger for sure.
They asked him on the TV.
He was being coy.
Or was he at TGI Friday's having some potato skins when his phone rang?
He was working on his 11th kid.
Deb gum, it's the Colts.
One sick.
