A.J. Smith Rumor Quotations

With the trading deadline approaching Oct. 18, we'd like to put an end to the swirling rumors that Philip Rivers is available for trade. Phillip Rivers will be a Charger for the remainder of the season.

I don't know where the rumors come from. But if you hear something, and someone asks you and you say it is fine that should be good enough.

These rumors are running rampant all over the country. We're fine. Coach will be back in '06. There never was a doubt.

As you know, all the rumors were that he was on his way. We had not officially heard that. But we got a phone call before we kicked off. He is on his way. He is going to sign the tender this evening.
