JoPoy88 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Good for him. Hope he moves teams as well and gets to play one more year for a team with actual fans. 1

Rivers isn’t really in a position to demand a winning team after the season he just had. I can see the Jags chasing their tail again paying him a monster 2 year deal to save dougs job. Indy makes sense just from the standpoint they are built to win right now. Tampa I guess, not sure he’s better than Winston there right now. Dolphins would be silly after what Fitz just did for them. I don’t know that he can really make any kind of impact, I think he’s done. He looked rough this season. I remember what Fitz did for us before we gave him a long term deal. Fitz to NE. It's the only team left in the AFC East. Edited January 19, 2020 by formerlyofCtown
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Doesn't Pegs have a home somewhere in FL? Read between the lines. Anyone have eyes on the jet?

What if you were 38 years old, Had a HOF career, had $200M in the bank, wife and 8 kids at home, and could live anywhere in the world you want?

It’s always a consideration, but the one true fact is California has become a crap hole. I just spent 5 days in Santa Monica and the place is overrun with homeless, Venice looked third world. Those who can leave are... 2

Winston want too much money. They would have a chance to be a playoff team with Rivers. The Charger are looking like they will be the biggest mess in the NFL.

It doesn't necessarily mean he won't keep playing in SD. Also, he may have decided that if worse comes to worse, he'd rather be flooded or blown out than burned out. His contract is up and he won’t be re-signed (I hear)

Miami is out unless he just wants a big payday to babysit someone. Tampa, maybe but only if he thinks Arians has that team to win now, which I don't they are I think this is just a long term family planning move. After he retires the taxes in Florida are much saner than the taxes in Soviet Califonia Arians had success with Palmer at the end of his career. They certainly have a great supporting cast on offense. Indianapolis or Chicago make a lot of sense, but at this point is Rivers that much better than Brissett and Trubisky?

My wife has work out of LA frequently so I’ve been lucky to spend a decent amount of time in Cali. I’ve always had a great time but I get a similar vibe as NYC gives me in that it’s the the land of the haves and the have nots to a hyper-extent. You don’t want to live there if you’re just eeking out a “middle class” life but it’s a great place to be if you’re in the top tier. Edited January 19, 2020 by eanyills

Which he is of course the top tier so it’s not about taxes that he left. I think it’s more about why he bought the house in Florida. He doesn’t know where he’s playing yet, but he knows its not the Chargers, so he moved to the SE near his family, and many rich athletes have their main residence in FL for tax purposes and then buy/rent another where they play. He doesn’t plan to play in Southern Cal anymore, so no reason to stay.

After he retires the taxes in Florida are much saner than the taxes in Soviet Califonia Haha! Soviet. That's a joke. This place is mucho capitalist. Everything here favors the super rich, business owners, gentrification, etc. Working class people are displaced everyday while the major capitalists in the state skirt all the tax laws and get all the benefits. It is capitalist welfare state. Not socialist or communist. Of course, I say this with the assumption that you have read Marx, Lenin, etc. And that you know what Marxism, Stalinism, etc. is. But truthfully, California is a neoliberal capitalist state. Period. Perhaps you're referring to the social aspects in the state like gender rights and anti-racism. But you would be hardpressed to argue that the Soviets were open to that. Finally, getting welfare benefits in this state is exceptionally difficult. The public health care is only for super super poor. Same with food. Housing assistance is impossible to get. And unemployment is a nightmare and takes forever to get benefits. I know this is about Phillip Rivers, but I hate this straight up ######ed assumption about Cali. 2
