I think it's fair to proclaim Philip Rivers the male equivalent of "a lady in the streets, but a freak in the sheets", and I don't even mean that in the sense that's he's on pace to father an entire, 53-person co-ed roster under one roof. Instead, I mean he's exactly what you have once you "get you a man that can do both". Just before Philip Rivers twisted the knife deep into the heart of Arrowhead Stadium's most wasteful, he was so damn humble in the most vivacious of victories that if you caught his postgame interview in the middle you'd have assumed his first answer started with "golly gee". From showering both his own team and their opponent with praise to immediately calling all cans in instigating a beer shower at his expense. There aren't many players at the most buttoned-up of position who aren't afraid to metaphorically flash their chest hair in reminding you they are ruthless competitors at heart, but Philip Rivers is so situationally smart about doing so that it's always a pleasant surprise when he does. The truth is, he's had a little Baker Mayfield in him since Baker Mayfield was merely 10 years removed from swimming out of a scrotum, but he's otherwise such a typical dad that he managed to evade criticism as some sort of problem child. The best part about the Chargers winning, after having spent years finding new and comical ways to lose, is that their long-time starting quarterback finally gets to show both sides of personality with some consistency. He might as well have been waving bye-bye to the lovable loser label, because - as an appreciative adversary with an enchanting touch of well-deserved arrogance - he's currently emptying his entire bag in making the most of all the tools at his disposal. That troll job was Philip Rivers in a nutshell, and - other than Chiefs' fans - we should all be happy that the Chargers have finally been more than good enough in crunch time to justify cracking it back open. The amount of throws reminiscent of the following that he has made over the years compares only to his sperm count, so it's about time he gets the opportunity to make them count...and let some haters hear it along the way...
