And not just not answering but outright avoiding it and not even acknowledging when she asked him multiple times.
What's up with the annoying reporter who kept pestering him with the question when he obviously wasn't going to answer her?

1) Anyone see Reggie Bush taunting someone on his return TD before he got to the goal line? Seriously kid, win the game before you celebrate and taunt people. In fact, don't taunt people at all. You haven't done squat in this league yet.

2) Washington looked good from what I saw. Lots of offense if Campbell can play that well consistently.

3) Yes, Rivers is a douche.

Fucking travesty of a game. Broncos should have lost that, and freaking Hockuley [sic] admitted that he blew that call.

not to mention the first quarter call that could not be reviewed b/c of malfunctioning equipment.

Broncos: 1-1
:|

Fuck John Elway :p

He really isn't, but believe whatever you want.

i see from your last two posts you have a huge mancrush on him. but he is. he talks shit to opposition and to freaking fans. he needs to grow up and pull the dick out of his ass.

you must be a UNC fan. Still hurting from the rash he left you for 4 years? :kiss;

Rivers has fun. He talks back when people taunt him, and it doesn't distract him. so suck it.

No mancrush. He only went to my University. He is grown up, has kids and a wife, is a good teammate, and a good player. I have no idea what the fans have been yelling to him, but I have no doubt they warrant a response from him.

The fans need to grow the fuck up.


Really? The vast majority of NFL players are able to control themsleves in hostile fan situations, why isn't 'ole wolfpack?

P Rivers needs to grow up. You don't change hundreds of thousands of fans. Personal responsibility lies with the "superstar" (used loosely for Rivers) who is paid millions to perform under pressure and act as a professional.

What bothers me more is that he talks shit about opposing players in the media. Classless douchebag.

Obviously you've never played football. Or you'd realize that day-in, day-out, this shit happens on the field in every fucking game, and has been since the earliest days. trash talking about mothers, ripping heads off, no talent, blah blah.

Don't even get started on the ball grabbing and punching that goes on under a pile. Don't believe me?

Look, it must suck for you to be a UNC fan and had to have dealt with Rivers, Cotchery, Super Mario, McClendon and the others running roughshod over your little blue boys for a few years, but get over it.

If it's any consolation, both teams suck these days.

Technically, it was the correct call.

not to mention that the blown call in the first quarter, SD's 2nd play, led to Denver points.

That sure as shit figured into the final score :|

seriously, how is it possible that we can see replays at home, but the refs can't see them on the field when a challenge is made? effing BS.

Welcome to 2 years ago. And before the season started this year Rivers was popping shit about Cutler.

Wow I didn't see that one or the Sheldon Brown hit...this kid is an idiot. He better hope the Saints never play the Bears again, especially not in the playoffs. The Bears might suck but Urlacher is not someone I would be taunting.

Oh yeah? Link me where Peyton has done this. Brady? Romo? Favre? Especially in the media.

No one is claiming football is a classy game but most of the greats let their play speak for them.

14 points into the final score. Should have been 38-25 Chargers. San Diego was fucking robbed on Sunday. I don't know how that shit could possibly happen...

GO BRONCOS!

Yeah crappy calls, but who can say what would have happened in the rest of the game if that first call was called in SD's favor? You can't say it should have been 38-25...how do you know that SD wouldn't have been stopped on that drive anyway? Or what if Rivers threw a pick after that play? There's no way of knowing and the game could have been totally different.

Both teams played offense well, and neithers defense could really stop the others offense well enough.

I'm not sure if he did that for that reason or not.

If so, that's pretty cool...at least give them a chance to win it when he knew they were screwed on it.

But even if that was the reason, you know they weren't going to half-ass it either way.

but, momentum is huge, especially in a game like this. to make two blown calls like that.. i honestly believe SD would've won this game if were not for these two calls. oh well, chalk it up to human error.

Apparently, Ed Hochuli apologized to Norv Turner for blowing that call. In a related note, I had no idea he was suspended 5 games for HGH - explains why he's so jacked.

Yes, and if the Broncos had an INT on the next play, that would shift momentum to them - really we have no idea what would have happened from that first call - but that last one was pretty bad.

Wait a minute....they suspended a REF for HGH? Why?

Who cares? He's not out there playing....doesn't make sense.

That's what happens with a zero tolerance policy. Same with the Cowboys assistant coach last season (and that guy even had it recommended to him by a doctor for a real medical issue).

As for Shanahan going for 2 because he felt the Chargers were screwed, I don't know, he just doesn't seem like that kinda guy to me.

I can at least understand the coaches - them having it and players having access to that person easily, etc. Maybe he could have found a way to involve the NFL and say hey there is a medical reason for this, etc.

I just don't get the refs though.
