PrintNFL.com has posted a video of Philip Rivers with him mic'd up for sound. Unfortunately, since their website doesn't allow you to embed videos elsewhere you'll have to click on this link their page.
It's got some incredible footage of him introducing himself to other players, doing some light running, throwing footballs and chatting (surprise! surprise!) with different players. He talks with Kubiak about how Norv is a big numbers guy when it comes to play names. Ben Roethlisberger is interested in how many kids Phil has. Rivers tells Big Ben and Andy Dalton that this year they brought all six kids to Hawaii. He also tells Dalton what his least favorite throw in football is. He also seems very excited about this "Pat n' Go" drill. Later, he has tell to Mike Wallace to take it down a notch since his speed takes him farther than Rivers can throw. He also gives Brandon Marshall the skinny that Vincent Jackson only practices on full speed (in case you missed him, that's VJ running the reverse and whizzing by the camera). Antonio Gates looks sweaty as practice concludes. Ryan Mathews makes a few appearances as well.
This is Philip Rivers' 4th time being selected for the Pro Bowl and his 3rd consecutive election. His selection seemed a bit dubious at first given some of his struggles this season. However, given the crop of AFC QBs, especially Tom Brady ineligible due to his Super Bowl preparation, Rivers seems as good of a selection as any.

That Pro Bowl uniform is too close to the Patriots outfit
for my liking!
Not changing this signature until John Gennaro eats his hat.
Quick out to the sideline
Riskiest throw in football. Even if the CB suspects something, it can be 7 going the other way easily.

Seriously though, I have to disagree with Rivers: dogs DO stretch. At least mine does.

Do they usually take videos down after eighteen hours or so?

Yeah I'm watching the freaking Pro Bowl
Gotta get my last Chargers fix for the next what, 5-6 months? The reason Rivers was voted in this year is because the AFC QBs had a down year, sans Brady, and guys like Peyton and Schaub were injured. I’m just surprised Mathews was selected as Ray Rice’s replacement.
