Happy Birthday Philip Rivers

It's December 8, 2023 and our Quarterback, Philip Rivers, is 42. Let's take a moment to remember the legend:


Philip Rivers considers a question about his legacy at a press conference at the end of the 2019 NFL season
That's our quarterback

Among his many accomplishments:


  1. Helped San Diegans forget Drew Brees (somewhat)

  2. Played an NFL playoff game with a torn ACL

  3. Eight (8) Pro Bowl selections

  4. NFL passing yards leader

  5. NFL Comeback Player of the Year

  6. Married for 22 years, yet only produced 10 offspring (<50% success rate)

  7. "Stole" a $1.1b water feature

  8. Beat Bill Belichick

  9. Won his first game as a high school football head coach 49–0

  10. Made the bolo tie fashionable in Southern California

Still, questions remain:


  • Will Phil play another snap in the NFL?

  • Where does he rank in the Pantheon of Chargers players?

  • Will he retire a Charger?

  • Does he make the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

  • Does his yacht still fit in his lake?

  • Will we ever see him fish with Justin Herbert?
