Hello and welcome.

It's our number four, hour number four of our radio program.

And this hour, we take a look at a story percolating right now. Could we have a comeback story in the National Football League, a retired quarterback,

coaching high school football, Philip Rivers, contemplating a return to the NFL.

He is leaving the door open a wee bit for a comeback.

What are the odds that Philip Rivers plays another game in the NFL circa 2021?

We discussed that and much more right now in our number four.

You can call it a comeback.

Welcome in the beginning of yet another hour of the Ben Mather show.

We are in the air everywhere as we put on our thinking cap, to coast border to border and beyond on the vast

and powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the land not Disneyland it's radio

land an imaginary place where listeners like yourself dwell together.

It's a community.

The Fox Sports Radio Studios, Hope All as well.

Good to have you along here this hour.

It can't be that bad.

You're listening to a sports talk radio show.

There are worse problems to have.

There are worse problems to have in life than this.

So our lead this hour comes from high school football.
