Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunder Girl.

On this what Wednesday, December 10th, 2025, this sports program begins now.

0:12.0

Football!

It's magical, there's so many storylines all over the country, both in the NFL and in college,

0:19.0

and I'll tell you what, the reason why I have this particular military appreciation cap on is because the Indianapolis Colts are all the way back. I don't know if you've been reading or seeing, but Phil Rivers, the 44-year-old grandfather, is back with the Indianapolis Colts to lead them, not only to the playoffs, but to a Super Bowl. Now, there's a lot of different memes, okay? And there's a lot of different words being put together about old Phil Rivers holding a grandbaby in one hand and then a football and the other while wearing an Indianapolis Colts uniform. What you need to know is this team's ready for a grandpa to be their quarterback, especially if they're a quarterback, their grandpa quarterback will be able to spin it until the day he dies. The reason why he throws the way that he throws is because when he was just a little baby boy, when he wasn't strong enough to lift up a high school football in which his dad was coaching, he wanted to throw that thing because in his soul, he was a football spinner, and his arm couldn't hold the ball up where it was at, so he was literally just thrown it like this because he was such a little boy. That maintained and continued to become

1:14.3

what? Well, one of the most deceiving releases in the history of ball. One of this thrown for

1:20.0

thousands and thousands of yards a season for a long-ass time. And now the 44-year-old will see if he can defy the test of time and lead a team to some relevancy.

1:35.2

Now, are there some downfalls potentially?

1:37.9

Sure.

1:38.7

Look at this road who the Colts have left.

1:40.5

Okay, look at the remaining schedule for the Indianapolis Colts.

1:43.5

Seattle Seahawks in Seattle? They're the number two scoring defense, okay? San Francisco 49ers, oh, yeah, they're the number eight scoring defense. How about the Jags? They stink, right? Nope, they just beat us, actually, and they're 11th ranked. And then, oh, you had to wrap it up against the Houston Texans, yeah, that's the number one ranked defense in the league. So you got a lot of potential boo birds from the home crowd watching Colts at the Loud House, potentially with these defenses, but you also got an opportunity to build a Hall of Fame resume. If Phil Rivers comes off the couch after five years and plays well against these defense who are ranked statistically and optically when you watch them, some of the best of all time. You got to tip your cap to old man Phil Rivers and you got to say shout out to Chris Ballard for not just punting on the year, okay, not just quitting on the year. They're saying, hey, it's week 15, we're still in this thing. We can still make the playoffs.

2:37.2

And we need a quarterback that knows this offense better than anybody.

2:37.8

Who's that?

2:47.5

Oh, the guy that's been coaching all year. The guy that Shane Steichen started his career with. Oh, let's bring in Phil Rivers. Does he want to play? Fair Rivers go out there and say, hell yeah, man. We just lost state championship. I got bad taste in my mouth.

2:49.5

Give me a ball, give me a ball.

2:51.0

Well, we got to do some physicals for you.

2:52.0

Oh, don't worry about it.

2:52.9

I'm not going to run.

2:53.7

Don't worry about anything.

2:53.7

Just make sure that this'm not going to run. Don't worry about anything.

2:56.8

Just make sure that this thing's good. And then if they're going to snap it perfect, you're going to snap perfect? Yep, I can't be doing the hole. We need these snaps. Okay. and I might be a little bit deeper because I don't want to do anything.
