COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Philip Rivers turned 36 years old on Friday. So how did the Los Angeles Chargers' veteran quarterback celebrate? Rivers attended the team’s holiday party here in Orange County.
I asked some teammates what they would get Rivers for his birthday and received some head-scratching from players in the locker room. A few joked they would get a rocking chair for the aging signal-caller.
But head coach Anthony Lynn -- who let Rivers break down the team huddle after practice on Friday, a tradition established this season for all players on their birthday -- had another idea.
