I'm not going to waste your time. We say ten takes and ten minutes. We're going to get right to it. Start the clock.

Take number one, Philip Rivers was really cool on Sunday. He wasn't really good. He didn't win. He wasn't really athletic. He was just really was just really really cool i found it awesome we spent

an entire week making old guy jokes and wondering morbidly how is this going to look it looks pretty

cool it wasn't aesthetically pleasing it wasn't wow incredible look he looks great and it never was

going to be played all four quarters got in and out of the huddle got to the line barked the signals was exactly like he used to be on the sideline talking

yapping it was really really fun i'm pleasantly surprised really pleasantly surprised not only as

a football guy but as a guy in his age range that's possible we'll get some more on that in a minute

philip rivers had them a position to win the game, throwing a touchdown without any interceptions. That's an incredible, you take that every single time. If that had been on the table, his performance, you would always take it. The funny thing was the Seahawks just didn't give a damn and their dumb kicker, Jason Myers, decided I'm going to make all six of these field goals and ruin the day. I say dumb kicker because I'm just kind of annoyed like the rest of us are.

You can't miss one of those, Jason, and finish the story?

Nope, Seahawks are like, we're here to go to a Super Bowl this year.

We don't care about your Hallmark movie Christmas quarterback.

It was very funny to me how little the Seahawks cared at the end of the game, but very

inspiring how Rivers played. Take number two,

Philip Rivers' message after the game was even better during the game. Did you hear him?

He took some time as a father and as a coach to say, you know, it's not about embarrassing yourself and take risks and put yourself out there. He was really preaching and I really appreciated it.

I've said this many times. My least favorite word on

the internet is cringe. I absolutely hate it. I think it is a generational word and there is cringe

culture where anyone who even steps outside their comfort zone by an inch is cringe this and cringe
