Philip Rivers Once Revealed The Secret To Having So Many Kids To Exhausted New Dad Brandon Flowers

In the time it’s taken you to read this sentence, Philip Rivers has conceived another child.

Rivers’ live-in obstetrician rolled out of his guest bedroom for another routine child-birthing while Philip ferociously flips through the baby book to find a name they haven’t used.

Halle (17), Caroline (15), Grace (13), Gunner (11), Sarah (9), Rebecca (9), Peter (8), Clare (1), Anna (1).

For those scoring at home, how many is that? Not sure, I don’t clean the floors at M.I.T. and Robin Williams isn’t my shrink.

Rivers has gone on record calling his wife Tiffany, the “most selfless person in the world” for her efforts over the past two decades, and the sports world has long been baffled by how a man is capable of juggling an NFL playbook while also compartmentalizing all of his children’s names.

On our Endless Hustle podcast presented by Boston Market, we spoke with former Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers, a father of two who spent three seasons with Rivers in San Diego, about the quarterback’s undying commitment to his Christian faith and unique perspective on raising youngsters.

 

“He got quarterback money. He don’t have regular money like everyone else in the NFL. He has quarterback money.”

When I introduced the idea that it was never about the money, it’s about the bandwidth, Flowers let us in on Rivers’ key to progeny prosperity.

“I did ask him that. I said, ‘Phil, I have one daughter right now. She’s driving me crazy. I have to be engaged with her, it’s always Daddy this, Daddy that. You have seven.’

Phil’s like, ‘Man before you know it, every kid is taking care of the other kid. Every kid wants to be like another kid, so they’re all just playing with each other, and I’m sitting around like, ‘Does anyone want to be around daddy?’ Each kid is another kid’s best friend, so they’re all enjoying each other so that’s how he gets to balance his out a little bit.”

Moral of the story: Parenting is a breeze when your 11 year old is raising your 9 year old.
