OT: Philip Rivers to start Sunday for the Colts(possibly)

[Jttsaz]

all that and they still almost won that game...

By starting yesterday, Rivers and his family get 5 more years of NFL provided health insurance...

With 10 kids, look for him to play in the 2030 season as well.

Interesting… I’d think that Union would have negotiated something where if you accrued enough games/years you’d get health insurance for life considering what they do for a living.

If that isn’t the case, the Owners are really getting away with murder. Who insures guys with the type of injury histories most NFL players leave the game with and even if guys can get that insurance, it’s got to be thru the roof expensive.

All this talk of Rivers returning made me realize what the Cardinals really need to turn this ship around:

Daryl Washington needs to come out of retirement and suit up for the Cardinals once again!

I would hope for the Cards to sign Rivers for 2026 but I like him too much to see that happen. It would make Skorp happy, IIRC he was a big Rivers fan.
