GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'

QB Philip Rivers went out with an apparant knee injury in the Chargers game at the Titans. His backup, Billy Volek, is in.
Volek wandered in as the entire stadium rained boos on him. On Billy Volek. Billy Volek? Billy Volek! Hmm. Volek, if you remember, was dealt early last season from Tennessee to San Diego right after the two faced off. Volek demanded the trade after the Titans drafted Vince Young and then signed Kerry Collins during the preseason. Fans tend not to like it when their players demand trades ... especially career backups.
You kinda have to understand Volek's pain. He had sat as Steve McNair's backup for years and felt he had an opportunity to become an NFL starter once McNair, who was constantly injured, was traded to Baltimore. However, Tennessee drafted Young to be the future in April and the addition of Collins, a journeyman, was the final straw.
Volek promptly came in, underthrew a deep ball on his first pass and had his second pass picked off. By the way, Young has also been hurt in this one ... though he's back in the game. Rivers jogged off to the locker room and his status in uncertain.
UPDATE: Rivers has returned to the game in the 2nd half. He threw an incompletion on his first attempt, completed a pass for minus-3 yards on his second pass and then was picked off on his third.
