I know I've been spending a lot of time covering the San Diego Chargers. But hey they're about to play the biggest game they've ever played and no one in the sports world is giving them a fighting chance. It seems like it's the whole world against the Chargers. Especially the Chargers QB Philip Rivers.
Like I've been saying from day one. This is the guy that will lead this Charger team to any future championship. And everyone wants to focus on his attitude during games. Just cause he likes to be vocal on the field with everyone, including fans. People are riding him like he's some sort of criminal (uh, Randy Moss). Like he's done something so bad. Especially the fans. They've gotten on his case about him talking back to fans. Well if you (the fan) are going to dish out some trash talk from the stands, don't be surprised if you get it thrown back at you by Rivers. Fans talk all tough from the stands (they're like telephone tough guys) and knowing they never have to back it up. Rivers on the other hand can talk the talk because he's already backed it up on the field. Look at his last to games (playoff), he's lite up the stat sheets.
Sports announcers around the nation, especially ESPN love to rag on Rivers, yet they don't aren't man enough to get him on the air to tell him in his face. They're what you call "television tough guys". Then you have http://www.boston.com/ talking all this trash, saying how Rivers is a punk. But the truth is he's just like you guys. Rivers is from the east coast, so he's got that east coast confidence. That attitude, the only difference is that Rivers' attitude is limited to the field of play. Not like the rest of you east coast simpletons, who think the world revolves around you. But it's not limited to the east coast columnists. You have people across the nation. Such as http://www.denverpost.com/ talking trash. But they won't seek comment from Rivers, why? Because they're online tough guys. I'm an online tough guy myself but I'll call out any of these sports columnists and the Patriots players. Write to me and I'll respond obeyhaider@gmail.com They won't because they're pu$$ies. I've already sent them emails but they haven't responded.
Now the hate for Rivers isn't to far from home either. In our own backyard, San Diegans are hating on the only successful QB post Stan Humphries. He's done what Brees failed to do so many times.
People have gone as far as compared Rivers to Leaf. How pathetic is that? There is NO comparison what so ever. Leaf was hated by the whole team because he treated them like second class citizens, he carried an attitude everywhere, Rivers leaves it on the field. Stats wise Rivers blows out Leaf. I think Leaf had maybe 2 wins as a Chargers. He was sacked so many times, and most of the time it was because his linemen let the other team sack him. His own teammates wouldn't help him up whenever he was on the ground, I remember his own linemen stepping over him as if he wasn't there. There's no comparison to make. Rivers can back up his talk, Leaf couldn't. Leaf didn't even want to be in the NFL. He loved college and the college life to much. He was a slacker, that just wanted to party and get laid by college groupies. Rivers is a family man. So knock it off with the Leaf comparison, because it ain't valid.
Have some pride fellow San Diegans and back our QB. He's a real winner, he's the man to lead us to our first (of many) super bowl championship.
