Gates has been Rivers’ favorite target since El Capitan’s first start in 2006. How do Rivers and the rest of the team feel about the four game suspension?
In a recent interview on 1090 AM, Philip Rivers showed a little more of how he leads this team. It was an interview in which PR staunchly defended the only receiver he has had in every season he has been a Charger. In the 13 minutes interview, Rivers cited his friendship with Gates and was "certain" that Gates made an inadvertent mistake in taking whatever it was that got him suspended for four games.
