With the return of Philip Rivers to the NFL, the 44-year-old joins a select club of quarterbacks that have played at this age, but who are those signal-callers? Playing football in the NFL at 44 years old is not an easy feat. However, Philip Rivers is returning to the Indianapolis Colts and with that, he is joining a club where only a handful of players played at that age, but who are they? If Rivers takes a snap for the Colts, he would become the sixth 44-year-old to play as a signal-caller in NFL history. He would join Tom Brady, Vinny Testaverde, Warren Moon, Steve DeBerg, and George Blanda. While Blanda and Moon are Hall of Famers, Brady clearly will be as soon as he is eligible. Rivers has a parallel to DeBerg, which is that both had four seasons of not playing before returning to the NFL to end their career. Brady is the standard, but Rivers can try to replicate some success When you look at quarterback play, Tom Brady is the standard to follow, even though that standard is impossible to reach. Still, maybe at 44, Rivers could try to replicate some stuff that Brady did, although it’s impossible for Rivers to replicate the numbers. At 44, Brady led the league in completions, pass attempts, yards, touchdowns, yards per game, and was second in the MVP voting. It’s just unfair stuff by the greatest of all time. Tom Brady, former QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers So what kinds of stuff could Rivers replicate? A playoff run. Rivers could definitely make history by qualifying the Colts to the playoffs. At 8-5, Indy needs to win pretty much all games remaining to get into the playoffs. If Rivers manages to help the team go into the playoffs, his legacy would grow immensely. The Colts are desperate to get into the playoffs The Colts gave too much stuff trying to win now. Of course it’s not working out. They bet on Daniel Jones and he tore his Achilles, they went all in and gave two first-round picks for Sauce Gardner, who also injured his calf. Now, the Colts have no quarterback for the future, no first round picks, and desperation as they might miss the playoffs altogether. Now, they depend on Philip Rivers out of retirement to try and salvage this season.

Jake Paul is extremely confident in his boxing skills, but even he knows his limits. Now, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has named the one fighter he would never face as he gears up for his highly anticipated bout against Anthony Joshua. Jake Paul is currently preparing to face Anthony Joshua in what is widely considered the most challenging bout of his career so far. However, while the YouTuber-turned-boxer does not fear the British star, there is another fighter he has made clear he would never face in the ring. Paul is set to meet Joshua on December 19 in what represents the biggest test of his boxing journey to date. As he continues to grow within the sport, Paul has revealed the one challenger he would outright refuse to fight: David Benavidez. “There’s a very short list of people that I wouldn’t step into the ring with, and Benavidez is on that list,” Paul told ESPN. “That guy is different. His power, his speed, his cardio, his nonstop punching and relentless pressure. Your punches don’t mean s— to him. He has giant forearms that go from the bottom of his hip to the top of his head. You can’t get through his guard.” A hidden message for Canelo Alvarez? It is well known that Jake Paul has long pursued a fight against Canelo Alvarez. It is also no secret that the Mexican superstar has avoided a matchup with David Benavidez in recent years, leading many to interpret Paul’s comments about Benavidez as a subtle message aimed directly at Canelo. Paul has proven himself to be a master at creating controversy. Fully aware that a bout against Alvarez would elevate his career to another level, Paul may be using the Benavidez remark as bait—suggesting that if Canelo continues to avoid his most dangerous rival, Paul could position himself as the alternative. Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Canelo and Paul were in talks for an exhibition bout. However, the fight ultimately fell apart, and Alvarez opted to face Terence Crawford instead—a decision that proved costly, as he suffered a defeat. A win over Joshua would change everything for Paul There is little doubt that Anthony Joshua represents the toughest challenge Jake Paul has ever faced. Despite a difficult stretch in recent years, the British heavyweight remains in strong physical condition and, crucially, active—factors that significantly raise the difficulty level of this matchup. If Paul were to defeat Joshua, a former world champion with global recognition, it would mark a complete turning point in his boxing career. A clean, controversy-free victory would give Paul the credibility he needs to justify a fight against elite active boxers—and could finally open the door to the long-sought showdown with Canelo Alvarez.

Lionel Messi is currently in India alongside several Inter Miami stars as part of the GOAT Tour. With the MLS season concluded and Inter Miami ultimately crowned champions, Lionel Messi and several of his teammates are now fulfilling a series of commitments, including a high-profile visit to India. However, things did not unfold as expected at Salt Lake Stadium. The Argentine superstar’s stay inside the stadium—alongside Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suarez—lasted only a handful of minutes. And there was a specific reason behind it, one that ultimately sparked frustration and anger among the spectators. A large group of people quickly surrounded Messi and his teammates as they stepped onto the field, making it nearly impossible for the public to see him. Enraged by the situation, those in attendance began hurling chairs and whatever objects they could get their hands on, a chaotic display of their frustration. Most of the criticism was directed at the event’s organizers, with fans voicing their frustration not only over barely getting a glimpse of Lionel Messi, but also demanding refunds for tickets priced at 12,000 rupees (£100; $133). Total chaos at Salt Lake Stadium, this is a massive let down. Fans have all barged into the Stadium and the Messi event is now being cut short. We have no words, Adminstration has failed completely. pic.twitter.com/KG2AjHF1Td— Sudhanidhi Bandyopadhyay (@SudhanidhiB) December 13, 2025 Fans’ fury erupts The GOAT Tour got off to a rocky start for Messi and his Inter Miami teammates after their failed first appearance in Kolkata, where a pitch invasion by fans overshadowed what was meant to be a grand celebration. Fan discontent quickly became evident following statements from some attendees, as reported by The Touchline on X: “All the people you see here love football. We all wanted to see Messi, but it was a total scam. We want our money back. “The management was so bad. It is a black day for Kolkata. Kolkata is known for football, and we love football, we love Argentina, but this experience is absolutely a scam. The ministers were there with their children, and the other people could not see anything… We are very hurt.” Kolkata is having a huge face loss now due to total bogus management. Police is extremely hyper active when it comes to BJP programs but they failed fully at a basic crowd management. pic.twitter.com/59KjAiG4Zg— Sudhanidhi Bandyopadhyay (@SudhanidhiB) December 13, 2025 What’s next for Messi’s tour in India? Following the disappointing turn of events in Kolkata, Lionel Messi still has several key commitments remaining in India. His itinerary includes scheduled appearances and events in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi. These engagements are crucial for fulfilling his promotional and professional obligations during his current tour.
