Watching Phillip Rivers Pout Like a Toddler is One of Life’s Simple Pleasures
If you're a football fan, you already know that San Diego Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is a whiny little b@#$^. Admittedly, he's a helluva player and he's tough as nails. He also acts like a spoiled 3 year old whenever he's on the field.
It's one thing to be a sore loser, which he is. Or to talk smack to your opponents when you are winning, which he does. Or to yell at the refs, we all do that. But the way he screams at his own teammates and coaches is the biggest reason why he will never win a championship. Those are grown men, many of whom could whoop his ass and probably want to. He treats them like trash.
What's even worse is the way Rivers blames everyone else for his mistakes. Last night, when he threw a game changing interception, he chewed out the Wide Receiver on the sidelines. The guy wasn't even within 5 years of the pass.
As a Bears fan, I know all too well what it's like to have a quarterback with a bad attitude. As douchey as Jay Cutler is, at least he's not a jerk to his teammates. He act like he doesn't give a s$%&, but he doesn't blame Brandon Marshall when he throws a pic (and he throws plenty).
Which is why I've learned to delight in Phillip Rivers' suffering. If he's going to act like a petulant toddler on the field, I'm going to root for him to fail. And laugh when he does. The fact like Rivers doesn't curse makes it even funnier when he gets furious and screams "DOG GONE IT!!! DANG IT!!!" His anger brings me joy.
