It seems in this day and age our teens are going to the Internet to learn all the things we would ask our dads. How to tie a tie, how to shave, all those little things.
Philip Rivers
When you're present, be present the best you can. Like I said, we all fail. But I think from a dad standpoint, children want our time. Sometimes it might just be five minutes, and sometimes it can be a lot more, but I think they want our time and to be engaged with them and present.
I don't ever try to sound like, 'it's a piece of cake. Be chaste 'til your married.' But you strive and battle. It's a battle.
I think it's a challenge, and I'm by no means perfect at it, nor is anybody, but I think what I would always tell other dads is to try to be present. Just try to be there.
It's funny, I see my dad in myself when I say certain things or I do certain things. I'll say, 'That was my dad right there.'
My father converted from being Southern Baptist when I was very young. He was determined that we get to Mass every Sunday, which served as the foundation for everything else. You simply do not miss Mass. Period. When the father of the family says we go, then we go.
To me, any time you're playing a Peyton Manning-led football team, there's a challenge - but that's what you dream about growing up as a kid.
Head coach and quarterback have a record attached to them. And I have always felt a great responsibility to help lead our team to win games, the division and ultimately the Super Bowl.
I think time of possession is overrated, unless you are scoring.
There is nothing you can substitute for reps and carries in a game.
It's funny, because it's always been a dream of mine to play in the NFL, but I was concerned about the games being played on Sundays. I love to play football but wanted to be able to attend Mass as well.
Don't get bored with little things - little completions here and there. They are all valuable, because I know that's a trap to fall into. You start feeling pretty good, and you think 'Oh, I want to try and throw this, or throw that.' And you've got to reel yourself in and hone in on the details.
Faith, family, and football is how I prioritize my life. And they all go together, but they go in that order.
I never was a sick like throwing up type of guy. I get nervous with the butterflies in the stomach. I was never a throwing up kind of guy... I'm kind of a pacer. I can't sit down. I can't sit still. I guess that's why I don't ever sit down the whole game.
I stand up all four quarters even when I'm not playing.
I hope I help lead my son's high school team to a state championship by the time I'm 45. I don't think I'm gonna have a helmet on when I'm 45.
I have a lot of respect for New England.
You can sit and imagine what it is like to go into a hostile stadium, or what it's like to play for the AFC championship, but you never know until you do it.
I love to compete.
When I went to college is really when it became my own. I had to get up out of that dorm room and go to church, go to mass on Sunday. That's when I took ownership of my faith.
Only by God's mercy and grace. We aren't worthy, we're all sinners, but we are because of Jesus dying for us.
It's my favorite part of the preparation. When we get a pressure figured out and pick it up, those are the plays that fire me up the most.
I don't think it's my job or anything that I owe somebody. But it is nature - coaching - and I like to think I'm pretty charitable in the sense that I like to help people out, share and talk football.
I want it to be clear that my love for San Diego, the time here, the memories we had, the games, the practices, everything about it is special and awesome. That will never go away.
One of my favorite parts of this game is being a teammate.
My happiness is not going to be driven solely on whether we win a Super Bowl or not.
I never intended to be a running quarterback.
I'm trying to not get too caught up in what I can't control.
I think the number one stat that is a direct correlation on winning and losing is turnovers.
I'll play like crazy and fight like crazy, as a Los Angeles Charger, just like I did for you guys. And I know y'all can respect and understand that. But I hope you also know that I will always be playing for San Diego as well.
My faith has always been very important to me.
There's so many gifts from the faith to appreciate and it strikes people differently, but the one-ness of the Church wherever you are, Raleigh, San Diego, Alabama. Every place we were was home because the Catholic Church is the same everywhere.
When we went to mass that first Sunday after moving to a new place, that was where we felt at home and were able to say, 'well, home is anywhere, it doesn't matter where we live because we have the faith.'
Too many times we think we've fallen too far from God or we're not worthy.
I think that you first have to understand that our sexuality is a gift that God has given us. Then you grow in that respect and love with your spouse or girlfriend to-be-wife. You respect her! Then you realize you're loving their heart, their soul and you grow together.
I take the role of leadership as the most important job I have. Yes, it's the passes and all the different things you have to do, but it's leading and it's in the huddle and it's in the weight room and the meeting rooms. It's that role I think comes first.
I knew as long as I stayed focused on my priorities, I would be ready for life's ups and downs.
Discover your passion and do it to the best of your ability.
I always believe, why wouldn't you want to play the best?
There's obviously games and a history you have with guys that maybe you're a little more fired up to let them know if maybe you beat them on a play.
I play with the same energy, passion and fire that I played with as a 10-year-old in north Alabama, and I'll continue to play that way. I think sometimes that's misrepresented. There's nothing I say out there that I can't say to my mom, wife or daughters. It's all clean.
Look, I'm my own worst critic. I've made mistakes in areas that I need to improve - most notably, turning the ball over.
My big, growing family keeps everything balanced and grounded.
In certain systems, receivers are just an X receiver or a Z receiver, and they just have to learn this route on this play.
I've been able to have some longevity here with the Chargers. It is unique.
To be honest with you, I love the fans. I mean, I really do.
Not scoring in the red zone and turning it over, man, that gets you beat.
I think all 32 teams have the goal of winning a championship, that goes without saying.
You have to give yourself a chance to get in the postseason.
I think we can keep people off-balance and ultimately we have to go score points, score one more point than the other team.
