The Entire Internet Is Losing Their Minds Over Viral Clip Of Philip Rivers Allegedly Taking Nasty Shots At Joe Burrow [VIDEO]

Did Philip Rivers come back to the NFL, throwing shots at Joe Burrow? That’s certainly what social media thinks.

Fans are once again getting ready to see Rivers play in a football game due to the desperation of the Colts. The Colts are 1-4 over their past five games, and Daniel Jones has a torn Achilles.

They called on 44-year-old future Hall of Famer Philip Rivers to save the season. Following a workout on Monday, the team made a final decision and signed him to the practice squad.

This week, social media is losing its mind following an apparent interview with the father of ten children. An interview on ESPN Houston began with a voice that sounded like the quarterback’s.

The person on the phone interview came out swinging when Joe Burrow was brought up. “Yeah, I don’t care for Joe Burrow, I don’t watch him,” the voice said.

The man claiming to be Philip Rivers says he doesn’t like how Burrow runs around like a wild receiver. He also brought up his “fancy hair and fur coats.” The caller then praised real quarterbacks after the disparaging remarks. They included Matt Stafford, Peyton Manning, Josh Allen, and Philip Rivers.

Phillip Rivers is not a fan of Joe Burrow.

Social Media Gets Fooled By A Fake Philip Rivers

Philip Rivers is taking unnecessary backlash this week over an interview he did not do. It started with a skit on ESPN Houston where a caller sounded just like him.

The guy on the other end of the phone took shots at Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. He also praised other QBs like Josh Allen and Matt Stafford.

It turns out that the caller worked for the radio station, and this is a long-running skit.

“Is this real? WTH😂😂😂,” one fan asked.

Is this real? WTH😂😂😂

“I thought this was real for one sec. I was about to cook the living sh-t out that old f–kin fart,” a second fan wrote.
