Rivers Gives Props to Brees.

Hi Everybody.

Today Philip had a conference call to talk to season ticket holders. A question he was asked is "are there any former Chargers quarterbacks that had an impact on your game?"

His answer was "I've grown to appreciate Dan Fouts even more. He's a hall of famer and he broadcasts all of our games. Talking to him each week is aprivilege. He had the feel for this this town and obviously played at a high level. Even more recently was Drew Brees. He was a team mate of mine and one thing I've always took from Drew is that he's a true pro. He went about things the right way. The way he prepared, the way he worked out, the way he did things and that was always something I took pride in. But getting there and getting to see a different side while I was on the bench just further instilled it in me that that's the way you have to go at it to be a pro."

Anyway... as a Die Hard Chargers fan, Drew will always be one of my all time favorites. I saw every one of his home games from 2002 to 2005. I've seen every one of Rivers home games since.
I can't say who I like better until both have hung up their pads. Though I can say that I'm happy for Brees to not only have the success he's had but that it happened for a class act franchise with class act fans!

If any of you would like to hear it, it's right here. You can forward it to 53:28 to get to just that question.

Take care and here's to meeting in the Super Bowl some day!!!
