Rivers Profile Continues to Elevate

Meat Loaf

Since we were talking about some alums in this entry, I thought that I would bring the two together with an interesting experience on Monday. In the span of a couple of hours I had TWO national Philip Rivers sightings.

First, was a sleek Nike commercial that featured LaDanian Tomlinson but included Rivers. The Chargers sharp new uniforms were an attractive contrast against the black of night that served as the background of the commercial. As the Chargers came to the line of scrimmage to take the snap, the camera started at Rivers and then panned to LT in the background. Very cool that Nike chose to include Rivers as a supplement to the spot when they could have gone exclusively with LT.

A little later I was watching “Private Sessions” from A&E on my DVR. The show features an interview and concert footage of different musical artists each week. This week the show featured an interview with Meat Loaf. I don’t care what you think – I love Meat Loaf. And…truth be told…I’m not alone. But, my respect of Mr. Loaf’s career is not the topic here. What was really cool was that the first piece of concert footage shown on the show featured Meat Loaf performing in a #17 San Diego Chargers jersey. So, in a roundabout way, if you try talking shit about Meat Loaf then you are indirectly criticizing Philip Rivers.

You don’t want that do you?

    Magenta was Riff Raff’s sister IIRC. Incestuous sister at that.

    Did Meatloaf cover Hank Williams’s “Move it on Over?” Or was that just George Thorogood. If not, Meatloaf is dead to me.

    One of the best supporting roles ever in a movie was the guy with Man-tits in Fight Club, other than that, i want nothing to do with Meat Loaf or Meatloaf

    Red Terror – that would have been the one-trick pony that is George Thoroughgood.

    Magentas were plentiful because all you needed was a crappy maid costume.

    I will say this- the Chargers are with Rivers and LT one of the most fun teams in the league. Definitely my 2nd favorite team now.

    noah,
    Thorogood’s pony has at least 5 excellent tricks.
