He may be able to call his shot, but I just selfishly hope it's not one of these.

If Matt LaFleur is still mad about the Bears rivalry, even though Al Harris is a former Packer, do you think that may have had something to do with it?

Probably not, I guess, because they wouldn't have brought him in to interview or they wanted secret info.

Was three games not enough, Matt LaFleur?

You know what?

The thing that I found the most compelling about the Philip Rivers career arc this year was not even necessarily the comeback to the NFL because that was prolific.

Let's just be honest about that.

The whole thing was very inspiring.

But it was how collectively as a society, we all seem to understand that the true value of Philip Rivers getting a job and extending his service time in the NFL was that he gets five more years of health insurance for him and his very large family.

When the salary doesn't matter as much as the health insurance does.

That is an indication of it all, is it not?

But the NFL, same principles apply.

It is.

But in this case, everybody seemed to know that the five years extra of health insurance that Phillip Rivers got was worth him taking it for his familial team and coming back and getting a job in the league.

My family.

I don't know, because his kids are having kids.

Like, he's to the point where they're self-policing and whatnot now.

I don't know that it's like Joe Flacco, where he just wanted to have an uninterrupted meal alone.

I think the bigger question is here, does he get on to somebody's staff as an assistant or something like that?

There are these favorite quarterback interviews that seem to happen.
