Howard and I are the next men up.
No way I will report unless I am guaranteed to start. I plan a new strategy for the rushing attack. I remove my helmet, showing what's left of my snow white hair, and begin to run. More like hobble on 2 bad knees. Would be tacklers begin to laugh at the spectacle, and will not touch me. It shouldn't take me more than 2 or 3 minutes to run the length of the field, assuming that I don't collapse on the way. Forget about a passing attack. My rheumatoid arthritis has progressed to the point where I would have difficulty holding a football. Getting old but still having fun.

With their sudden emergency at QB, the Colts are bringing in retired grandfather Philip Rivers for a workout.
If he isn't able to pass his physical, Howard and I are the next men up.
