Rivers prefers to punt regarding Broncos flap

Chargers QB Philip Rivers says he still plans on talking with Denver quarterback Jay Cutler before the team's meet on Sunday. Jim Baird/Union-Tribune

After taking all the criticism, all the while remaining mum on what Jay Cutler did that Christmas Eve that wasn't caught on camera, Philip Rivers doesn't see why he wouldn't talk with Cutler same as usual prior to Sunday's game in Denver.

“I've always spoke to him before every time we played,” Rivers said. “From my end, sure.”

Rivers, anyone who follows football remembers, was skewered last year by fans and media after being shown on television during the Chargers' Christmas Eve victory yelling in the direction of the Broncos.

It was after a fourth-down stop that Rivers came a few steps onto the field and was yelling, and Rivers maintained he was imparting encouragement to his teammates, though he acknowledged he did make eye contact with Cutler and there had been jawing back and forth. Thing is, Rivers and several teammates said, Cutler started the talking.

What Rivers won't address is a crude gesture several Chargers say Cutler made prior to Rivers' theatrics.

And Rivers said he won't have anything more to say about Cutler this week.

“I'm not going to get into it through ... the media all week long,” he said. “I'm just not gonna do it. I'm gonna talk football and Denver and what kind of team they are as I get to prepare for them and play the game. Whatever happened to me is gone. That was eight months ago. I'm gonna move forward.”

I personally think Rivers needs and orange and blue backhand. It's difficult to talk when your lip is swollen.

He's playing the victim...?

TotallyScrewed · 09-10-2008, 04:23 AM

When it comes to trash talk...apparently "Everyone is a VICTIM".

Schism · 09-10-2008, 04:31 AM

Ah yes, a mysterious crude gesture from the notoriously withdrawn and quiet Cutler. One that, madly enough, wasn't caught by a single cameraman.

At a Monday Night Football game no less.

I don't really have much of a problem with the whole Rivers MNF thing. Sure I felt his jawing was a bit immature, but **** it. I doubt Jay is losing any sleep over it and I know I won't.

Trying to say Jay started it is a bit pathetic though.

Drek · 09-10-2008, 04:55 AM

Sounds like someone is covering their ass for an impending beating.

ludo21 · 09-10-2008, 04:55 AM

Shanahan actually started it, by drafting Cutler into the same division as Rivers. What a cruel, cruel thing to have done.

bronclvr · 09-10-2008, 05:36 AM

They brought this up last night on "Jay Cutler Live", and asked Jay about it-he got this look on his face and said "I can't repeat what he said to me" (Rivers). then they asked him how he felt about it and he said "it makes me want to get out there and play the Game" (or something close to that)-

He just has that air about him, and always seems to have the right answers.

I have a man crush on that guy-

I may be the biggest RIvers hater here, but I think he is actually taking the high road (if he does what he says). I take this as a "wait and see," because it's hard to stop being a hothead like Rivers has been.

Props to Rivers if he shuts his hole.

Now Jay - kick his ass.

If he flipped out over a middle finger then thats kind of weak. All he needed to do is smile and point at the scoreboard. But he seems to have a very short fuse. It doesn't affect his game though so I guess its just his personality.

400HZ · 09-10-2008, 05:49 AM

The only thing he said is that he doesn't feel the need to comment on it. He didn't say anything about Jay's "crude gesture" and never has.

baja · 09-10-2008, 05:57 AM

Rivers, "Yes, I will not comment on that rude gesture, you know that painful hurtful universal gesture that Jay Cutler extended my way. I refuse to comment on that insulting thrusting movement with the right hand. I'm above that".

Yeah I was going to mention this. They showed the replay and Cutler looked up and said "Just seeing that makes me want to play right now."

People, I'm telling you the Chargers are dead when they limp into Invesco. The Broncos are going to destroy them.

Man, I hope you are right-I am cautiously optimistic-

Rulon Velvet Jones · 09-10-2008, 06:17 AM

Was it only the middle finger? Who is sensitive enough (especially with what's seen/heard in the NFL) to consider the middle finger rude any more?

Rivers may be French.

Jens1893 · 09-10-2008, 06:22 AM

I thought Rivers had been out of kindergarten for a while.

Man I hope you're right. I don't want to just beat them, I want them demoralized when they leave. I want to see Rivers laid out unconcious. I want to see LT hiding under his hood on the sidelines while the fans roar in his ears all game. I want the crybabies on the team like LT and Phyllis pointing fingers and complaning about each other. I want locker room disarray. I want fans screaming for player cuts and coach firings.

Go for the jugular Broncos

Paladin · 09-10-2008, 06:40 AM

Jezus. It's only a game.

That said, I can envision a Broncos win. That by itself, would give them distension to go with their diarrhea of the mouth....

Nonetheless, punch 'em out, Broncos!!!!!

Beantown Bronco · 09-10-2008, 06:56 AM

Cameras can catch Plummer flipping off a group of hecklers from the bench in a mili-second during a day game....but they don't catch any gestures from an actual QB on the field during a heavily covered nationally televised game. I'll call BS on that one.

Rivers sure gets rattled pretty easily. I'm sure there are more than a few fans at Invesco who will have some gestures for him this weekend.
