So...when did Phillip Rivers become a dick?

Is it a thing about San Diego? I mean, first there was Ryan Leaf. Now there's Phillip Rivers.

I didn't watch all of the Chargers/Colts game, but I did catch the end, with Rivers jawing with the Indianapolis fans behind the bench, giving them the American Sign Language gesture telling them they're number one.

What's up with that?

OK, I know fans can get drunk and stupid....and ugly...and verbally abusive. They're fans, and most have had a few beers. That doesn't excuse them being assholes. It just explains part of why they can be assholes. The players aren't supposed to stoop to the stupid level. They're supposed to set the bar a tad higher for themselves and act with a bit of class. Yo, Phil. Grow up! You get no brownie points for being a dick on national TV.
