I still say I'm his number 1 fan. I like to say that I would be his number 1 fan when you don't count his family. I really like Philip Rivers. He's a great guy. A strong father and a supportive husband, a great son and brother, someone who cares about the community he's in, and an extremely good football player. Yes. He is my hero, and always will be.
I remember the day I met him. He had given a speech at a Catholic Men's Conference in Huntsville, Alabama. I must admit that the only reason I went was because he was there. He gave a great 30 minute speech just talking about striving to be a great husband and a great dad with football in the way. Faith, Family, and Football, as he put it. He made us laugh, he was serious, it was a speech I'll never forget. Then, afterwords, there was a large group of people all wanting to shake his hand. I waited for the crowd to move out a little, but not before he left. My dad took me up there, and shook his hand, and asked him if he'd get a picture with me. His number 1 fan. He said sure, and moved by me.
Now for 3 years, I've had this picture hanging on my wall, reminding me of that special moment. I guess with this blog, I want to record my collection, share my experiences, and have fun writing about my hero.
I am building my ultimate collection;
Every card ever made of him- I'd like 1 of each. As many 1/1's as I can get my hands on.
Jerseys- I want his North Carolina State uniform, his Rebok Chargers, Nike Chargers, all sewn and stitched.
Toys- Bring them to me!
Anything Rivers- It's all on my list!
Each week, I plan on putting up my collection goal of the week. I've made a schedule, found on the schedule page, that will have what I'm looking for. Then, my Collection Page, tells everything I have.
I'll try to include as many pictures as I can, to make it a little more interesting. I hope you all enjoy this blog as I build and expand my Rivers nation.
JMJ + God Bless!
