Joe Flacco, the veteran quarterback for the Colts, recently made a hilarious joke about Anthony Richardson, one of the younger players on the team. You see, Richardson was raving about how cool the Colts quarterback is…and Flacco couldn’t help but take a jab at his age.
Flacco said, “Listen, he told me his mom is eight days older than I am. There is no chance in the world that he thinks I’m cool.” And let’s be honest, Richardson is not wrong. Flacco has been in the league for what feels like forever, and he’s seen his fair share of ups and downs.
Flacco entered the Colts Week 4 matchup after Richardson went down with a hip injury and helped lead the team to a 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Following the game, Flacco spoke with Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports and shared that his closeness in age to Richardson’s mother doesn’t make him seem any cooler to the second-year quarterback.
While Flacco may not think he is cool in Richardson’s eyes, Kinkhabwala had said that Richardson believed Flacco was “cooler than he thought he would be.”
But hey, age is just a number, right? And Flacco is proving that he’s still got it on the field. So even if Richardson thinks he’s cool because of his age, Flacco will keep slinging those passes and showing that age is just a number when it comes to being a badass quarterback.
