Phillip Rivers Defined

by SD Bronco on Jan 15, 2008 7:08 AM MST Comment 9 comments

This definitely won't be the most high-brow thing I've ever linked to, but, hell, it's hilarious. Here's an excerpt

It's almost a cross between "guy who got picked on when he was little" and "angry drunken frat guy". After discussing this with some friends yesterday, it has been decided that one words fit Rivers to a T.

Very nice find!

High-brow? No. But neither is Rivers. I think you get a pass on this one. : )

That was great...

Hopeful for a much better 2008!

I don't know if you guys ever read

the NFL comedy blog Kissing Suzy Kolber but a) it's completely hilarious and b) they just light into Philip Rivers -- his nickname is Marmalard and his favorite thing to do is bust through doors while saying "Ya betta ask somebodddaaay!" For a dyed-in-the-wool Charger hater (and especially Rivers hater) like myself, it's pure gold. I don't have any particular fondness for the Pats, but I'm definitely rooting for them because it's past time the Bolts ran out of charge.

Loyal to the purple/black and orange/blue.

I'm in a tough spot.

I used to like NE before this year. Heck, I used to like SD before this year. I'm the kind of guy that wants our division represented well in the playoffs (unless it is oak).

My rule was to root for the AFC team in the SB (unless it was oak). But this year I'll be rooting for GB, followed by NYG, followed by SD.

I think the best teams to win though are NE, followed by SD, followed by GB. Perhaps the injuries to Rivers and LT will slow down SD, though I think their defense is better than many people think.

I wish there was some way both AFC teams could lose the AFC title game this year. I want NE to lose because if they don't we'll have to hear from them for decades to come.

There would be some sweet poetic justice if Favre led the Pack against either NE or SD and won in his final game. I don't blame Favre for the love he gets from the media (even though it is so excessive).

Besides TB when they played oak, I'll be cheering for an NFC team to upset for the second time in this young century. What crazy times we live in!

Nothing NE could do...

would compare to the verbal puke that we have had to listen to from the '72 Dolphins....Wait....I gotta hit the bathroom again.....

You make a great point

The '72 Dolphins do an awful lot of bragging, and the way the League is set up today it is vastly more difficult to go undefeated.

I don't know if the '72 Fins would shut up if their record was matched though, and I don't know if I want another team bragging for the next three decades either. It's a tough call.

I'm rooting for the Giants from

the NFC and the Pats from the AFC because they're the lesser of two evils. As a Rockies fan, I'm not feeling too kindly toward Boston sports teams at the moment, but I'd rather have the Pats than the Chargers -- Rivers' chach-ness would reach new heights if the Bolts accidentally managed to beat the Pats. Besides, everyone was talking up how the Giants/Pats was the last game of the year and how the Giants were the only thing stopping them from going perfect -- I'd really like for that to happen on the largest stage imaginable, when Big Blue actually is the only thing standing in the way of 19-0.

Besides, I go to school in New York, and the Giants are a (distant) second in terms of football teams I like.

I'd like to see...

...the Pats AND Rivers shut up; one in the AFC game and one in the SB. I'd root for NYG or GB, whoever made it. Neither team seems full of themselves.

Guru makes a good point about shutting up the braggart '72 Phins, and I agree for the most part (he doesn't share my dislike for the Pats). But my only qualm is that I don't think a Pats victory in the SB will shut them up. They'll welcome the Pats to the table, and still claim to be the "first". Then we'll have the Pats bragging that they were second, but did it by having to win more games and doing it during the free agency / cap era of "parity". Both teams will be hard to live with.

BTW, I think parity is a myth. We still have teams that stay on top for awhile, and teams that stay in the basement. The only variable added in the mix is that the teams with great offseason minds are more important now.
