Go ahead, criticize the Indianapolis Colts. Make fun of Philip Rivers. They’re easy and convenient targets. Everyone has an opinion on the Colts starting a 44-year-old grandfather on the road against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. We’ve seen the memes, heard the jokes. It’s dominated the news cycle not only within the NFL media. Even the BBC ran a story on Rivers coming out of retirement, quoting Sky Sports’ Phoebe Schecter as saying, “Imagine if Philip Rivers is the reason that the Colts make a deep playoff run. I mean, that would be the most phenomenal storyline.” She’s not the only media member expressing a rooting interest for a feel-good story. Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star wrote a column titled: “Experts are laughing at the Colts? Shut them up, Philip Rivers.” On The Rich Eisen Show, the host called the comeback “amazing” and a “you can’t make it up” NFL moment.
