A teary-eyed Philip Rivers on today possibly being his last game: “If I go back and say, ‘Now you know everything that’s gonna happen, what would you do?’ I’d do it all again. … I got 3 bonus games that I never saw coming and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
The Philip Rivers effect: Sunday’s game in Seattle was the most-watched Colts game in the Indianapolis market on CBS in five years, per @CBSSportsGang.
4 years ago yesterday, I adopted Rivers. I named him after my favorite football player of all time who had retired earlier in the year. Tomorrow, Philip Rivers is the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. Merry Christmas, Michael!
Colts are activating Philip Rivers to their active roster from their practice squad, paving the way for him to make his first NFL start in five years Sunday at Seattle.
By signing to the active roster today, Rivers also now will go from being a semi-finalist for this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame to not being eligible again until 2031.
📞 Betting Partner Networking 📞
As the football season is slowing down, we will be doing networking calls over the next 2 days.

-Can you originate and win consistently? Let’s talk
-There may be other ways we can work together as well
Shoot me a DM if interested in talking
He’s back: The #Colts are signing QB Philip Rivers to their practice squad, per The Insiders.
The Hall of Fame semifinalist, age 44, rejoins the Indy QB room to support Riley Leonard and serve as a potential option down the road. A dramatic return.
I named my cat - Rivers - after my favorite football player... He was born AFTER he retired... I can't think of a better Christmas present... "ONE TIME, DEALER!"
The #Colts are planning to bring potential Hall of Fame QB Philip Rivers into their facility Tuesday to work out to see if he may join their practice squad, per me & @MikeGarafolo.
This is real. Daniel Jones’ season is over, Riley Leonard will start, but Rivers may be an option.
On Monday I’m introducing the FAIR BET Act, the Fair Accounting for Income Realized from Betting Earnings Taxation Act, to permanently restore the 100% loss deduction from gambling winnings.
I welcome all other members to join this common sense fix.
Hey @MikeCrapo just so you are aware, the professional sports bettors and poker players who currently pay gambling taxes operate on very slim margins.
By only allowing professional to deduct 90% of losing wagers these gamblers are now going to be unprofitable and will not be able to wager for a living anymore.
Example -> a pro sports bettor who has a break even year and has 50 million in wins and 50 Million in losses is now expected to only be able to deduct 45 Million of these losses and will be forced to pay taxes on 5 million in earnings that they never actually made.
There are countless examples of this both small and large like this but that is the big picture.
The USA and states will lose 100s of millions of dollars in taxes by putting the professionals who actually are the ones paying the gambling taxes out of work
This will affect casinos and sports betting apps from the smallest to the largest positions. This bill will put a lot of people out of work and will have some pretty big consequences
This gambling section of the BBB needs to be revisited and revised. As this bill is currently written this is worse than the Boston Tea party saga.
