Philip Rivers announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, 17 years after entering the league. Rivers was known for his time with the Chargers and Indianapolis Colts, his comebacks, but more than anything, he was known for his exceptional trash talking.

The 39-year-old entered the league selected by the New York Giants with the No. 4 pick and played with San Diego/Los Angeles from 2004-2019. He spent his last season with Indianapolis. Rivers is an eight-time Pro Bowler, was named Comeback Player of the Year in 2013 and was the NFL passing yards leader in 2010, to name a few things off his resume.

He ended his career with a 27-24 Wild Card round playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills.

While there is so much that can be said for his playing career, his impact on the field also came with his unique approach to trash talking. He was always dropping, "Dadgummits" and giving PG comebacks and burns to opposing players. A mic'd up Rivers always kept fans laughing and showed his hilarious personality.
