He'll be ready and statuesque like that at 80 years old, dragging a dialysis machine all over the field.

He will absolutely be ready to throw the football down the field 40 yards to a wide receiver.

He'll shrink.

Can I tell you guys, though, and I know Mike has been pointing this out over the course of the last two seasons where he is talking about what the aging process has done to Aaron Rodgers.

And I'm about to articulate it in something that I saw Sunday where I was like, huh, so that's how people age.

Aaron Rodgers, who is the best quarterback I have ever seen,

threw a deep ball to DK Metcalf, and I was surprised by it, that it was accurate, that it was down the field, that I'd gotten so used to, so numb to him just throwing the ball so quickly because he doesn't want to be hit, that him throwing the ball down the field and having a 50-yard play surprised me, but not as much as watching him scamper into the end zone.

outrunning a 300-pound person to get to the corner of the end zone.

And I realized that the aging process had done to the best I've ever seen something that is not surprising to anybody who watches sports and is used to the way people have aged in the past.

But nobody's doing it at 44, which is what Phillip Rivers would be being asked to do after five years off.

That seems an impossible task.

David is shaking his head.

I still am remembering.

I'm not kidding you when I say this.

I am remembering that I think it was Philip Rivers' second to last season.

When I see great players who have always been great age in a way that makes me sad or laugh, I do remember it.

Philip Rivers threw a pick six and I remember comically the way that he tried to make the tackle and had a real athlete jump over him.

And I'm going to say that was seven years ago.

Like I remember as one of the signature plays, it was Willie Mays to me.

When I remember throughout the history of my life, Muhammad Ali being beat up by Trevor Burbick.
