Despite all the fun had at his expense (the most well-crafted stuff comes courtesy of our friends at Kissing Suzy Kolber) Philip Rivers has become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Sadly experts often refer to Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Drew Brees as the "Big Three" but ...

Trade talks between the San Diego Chargers and whoever-the-hell broke down, and the holdout wide receiver was never traded to whoever-the-hell. Looks like he's going to be sitting out the whole season since he's sure as hell not coming back to the Chargers.
