LT: Rivers-Manning showdown worth watching
SAN DIEGO (AP) -When Eli Manning and Philip Rivers play at Giants Stadium on
Sunday, it'll be the first matchup between the two quarterbacks who were
swapped for each other during the first round of the 2004 draft.
Be sure to watch, said Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, whose spot
in San Diego was secured as part of a draft-weekend blockbuster trade, in 2001.
Tomlinson said those two will always be linked, just as he and Michael Vick
are. On the day before the 2001 draft, the Chargers sent the No. 1 overall pick
to Atlanta, in exchange for a handful of picks and Tim Dwight. The Falcons
picked Vick and the Chargers took Tomlinson with the No. 5 overall pick.
