Like San Diego, Eric Weddle went through bitter Chargers divorce; he faces Rivers, old team Saturday

Eric Weddle and San Diego share a common thread as thick as the beard on Weddle’s face.

Both went through a bitter divorce with Team Spanos, yet still pull for many of the club’s players.

Late in his Chargers tenure, Weddle sniped at a football front office headed by John Spanos (and Tom Telesco) after aloof messaging made it obvious he wasn’t in the club’s plan.

Saturday’s game in Carson pits the Poway resident opposite Chargers Football Company, LLC, for the first time.

Philip Rivers and Weddle are still close.
