Drew Brees vs. Philip Rivers
On a bad team it's tough to find a key position battle, but we'll go with
the quarterback spot. Brees is the incumbent, but after a poor season in 2003, the Chargers acquired Rivers in a draft-day
trade with the Giants. He doesn't have a huge arm and his delivery is awkward, but he knows where to go with the football.
He is the son of a coach, which shows up on the field. Brees seemed to lose confidence last year before he was benched in
favor of Doug Flutie. He is 4-16 in his last 20 starts, but that says a bunch about the team, too. He looks more like a backup
than a starter.

If you asked LaDainian Tomlinson what he’s most proud of, you’d expect him to talk about
his record-setting accomplishments on the field or making the Pro Bowl in his second NFL season. But what he’s most
proud of are the things football has enabled him to do off the field. The first thing football allowed him to do was purchase
brand-new homes for his mother, Loreane, and sister, Londria, in Dallas. It was a dream come true for Loreane, who raised
three children on her own. Tomlinson took things one step further though. In addition to the homes, he also purchased a pair
of vacant buildings in Dallas, one for his mother’s real estate company, Eagle Lending, and the other for his sister’s
day-care center named Miracles and Blessings.
