Eli pissed all of San Diego off. Especially his dad also. One small correction. He refused to play for us not get drafted. He had no control over that. The Mannings tried to get us to not draft him by bashing everything about the Chargers. We drafted him anyway and the look on his face at the podium was priceless. We then traded him to NY. It all worked out good for both I think. We got Rivers out of it plus more. Short of a Super bowl Ring I like Rivers better.

He was willing to give up being the first overall not to come to S.D. It was kind of a little mess for the signings. Was Eli the first and Rivers the sixth (I think) pick or visa versa. haha. Oh well it all got done.

Yep, he was the fourth: www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?season=2004&round=round1#round1
