!["[Rivers] is starting for the Colts versus a really good Seattle Seahawks team," Daniel said Saturday on X. "And here's what's crazy about it is, Philip Rivers and his wife, Tiffany, have 10 kids. There are 12 people in their family. And he works as a high school coach. Now he's obviously starting, but what's crazy about this is health insurance [in the NFL] expires after five years. The last year that Philip Rivers played was 2020 in COVID. His five years after you play of free health insurance is running out.
"So, what does he do? He signed. He went to sign back. He's signed to the active roster... He's genius. I thought Kurt said this so perfectly. Can you believe that? 100 IQ."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7zj6shxw4od3sagyimq5ndb4/bafkreidm4quylg4mfe5j7drakyf4wluxc7e2d3lkiftset4fhrv27winaq@jpeg)

Deeply suspicious of this - ocean2climate seems to be v down w/ AI and w/o the expertise to detect when said AI is out of control (irony of using AI for clinate reporting aside) I just blink and move on.

My xmas present to g'son Gus is a voucher for a new bike to be built up by the 2 of us when I get back east in the spring. But, since a card is a suck prezzie for a 13yo, he's also getting this ridiculousness:

It's good to pay attention*. From a postcard I rcvd this morning in Pokémon Go; after googling, it looks like French soapbox racing is exactly what an American would expect.
