Rivers Family Packed Up And Left California.

process of elimination?

Yeah, I’d prefer to not trust a process that means we suck for years before starting to rebuild.

Gonna build it Tevi Tough.

I remember an interview with an ex 49er (Gary Plummer?). He spoke about how the 49ers hated playing the Chargers.....the Chargers being an uber physical team during that period.

It might have been the Dan Henning era. The Chargers were very physical, but not a good team.

Yeah, I'd prefer that too...

Rivers moving to Fla. makes me totally re-think what to expect from the Bolts in the pre-season. This will be a make or break year for TT.

Show me a recent quote where Telesco/Lynn said they want Rivers to return next year. Their language purposefully avoided saying that and by so doing it was obvious he wasn't returning.

The little leaked story on how Rivers was apathetic about promoting the Chargers pretty much made it clear to me. Complete lack of class by this organization.

I went back and listened to Telesco. You’re not wrong, I recall Telesco seeming more like he wanted him and when I listen again I’ll agree it’s more ambiguous than that.

I don’t think it was a lack of class at all. We don’t know what was said and how Rivers wanted it handled. He moves awfully quick. Our season ended a couple weeks ago and everything was packed up and they were moving into a new giant house.

If I hear that Rivers wanted a press conference to say goodbye and was denied, I’ll agree it was a bad look by the FO.

But for all we know, they told him they weren’t re-signing him, they told him he could handle it however he wanted and they would support it, and he called all the shots for how the rest would unfold.

I’m not saying it happened this way. But I will say if that’s the deal, that’s hardly a lack of class. Nobody owed him an extension after this season.

True. But most teams extend a player a year early if that year was a great year, which it was.

No, not whatever was said privately about their parting of ways; the classless part was the leak, about a month ago to an NFL reporter, on how Rivers angered Charger insiders by not sufficiently promoting the Chargers in L.A., and his continued commuting from the North County.

That was the purposeful classless shit that the Spanos are about.

River can hold a press conference anytime he wants. If they were back in San Diego, i'm sure something hastily would have been assembled. In L.A., they don't give a shit what the Chargers do: no point in really holding a press conference.

Never heard of this, and not trying to play coy. I tried to google stuff and couldn’t find anything. Not saying you’re wrong, just can’t find it to comment on it. On the surface, you say it happened and I believe you and it’s shitty if true. Agreed.

I'll look it up...give me a moment. It was posted here & commented on about a month ago.

Another factor that could lead to Rivers and the Chargers separating is, per La Canfora, "Rivers' lack of interest in promoting the move to Los Angeles—he spends upwards of four hours a day in his car commuting back to San Diego—has not gone unnoticed, either, which some in the organization believe could be a critical element moving forward."

As one source told La Canfora, "He doesn't seem like he wants anything to do with L.A., at a time when the team is actually completing its relocation to L.A."

- one would assume the source is someone in the Charger organization instructed to approach La Canfora and give him this tidbit.

[powderblueboy]

Even Weddle didn't do crap like that.

Does anyone remember the long time San Diego Charger employee who was fired when he made an unsanctioned comment to the press during the move to L.A.
