Chargers Quarterback Hails Mary for Santorum

Philip Rivers, quarterback for the San Diego Chargers has come out in favor of Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum, his campaign announced this month.

Rivers, an all-pro quarterback from Decatur, Ala., said he supports Santorum "because of his stance on issues that attack vital Christian values our country was founded upon: no abortion, upholding traditional marriage, defending religious freedom, no euthanasia."

Santorum touted the endorsement shortly before winning the Alabama Republican primary.
