Philip Rivers went to N.C. State, which means that, as a lifelong UNC fan, I have to hate him. That's how it works. That said, I have come to grudgingly respect the guy. I even like him as much as you can like someone who claims to talk smack without cursing (that's like saying you love going to bars to drink Sprite). He's not afraid to take a hit, he's played through serious injury, and most importantly, he thinks Jay Cutler is a clown, which is something we can all get behind.
And Rivers also doesn't take himself so seriously that if a high school kid embarrasses him at his own camp, he immediately confiscates the video and has the perpetrator waterboarded to send a message to other would-be overachievers.
Moving pictures evidence after the jump.
To be fair, Rivers, who has been criticized for lacking arm strength, looked like John Elway (or, if Jay Cutler is telling this story, Jay Cutler) compared to nemesis Will Nunn. Of course, Nunn is a high school sophomore and looks like he's 5-8, 140 pounds. He's apparently modest, too, telling the local TV station that, "I don't know if [Rivers] was trying that much."
Just like LeBron!
