Philip Rivers Bends Nick Hardwick Over in the Showers, Gets Off 15 Good Ones (http://nfl.aolsportsblog.com/2006/12/22/philip-rivers-bends-nick-hardwick-over-in-the-showers-gets-off/)

Man, that Rivers has some stamina. That headline isn't even a joke, that really happened. Chargers center Nick Hardwick went into the shower, bent over, and Phil Rivers took off his shirt, sauntered over, eyeballed Hardwick's masculine hips, and stood behind him ... not to engage in the love that dare not speak its name, but rather to practice snapping the ball in rainy conditions (http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/chargers/20061222-9999-1s22chnotes.html).
Usually, teams do this by putting the football into a bucket of water. But it's Phil Rivers' attention to detail and willingness to risk countless cheap gay jokes that sets him apart. "What the heck. We thought it would be fun," Rivers said. "We got off 15 good ones."
Hardwick went into the shower with his helmet and cleats on. Rivers, perhaps expecting a totally different kind of encounter, took the snaps wearing only a pair of shorts. That's probably the exact reason why Hardwick decided to go full-uniform, just in case Phil got any ideas. I'm thinking that Hardwick may have even asked the equipment manager for a male chastity belt.
