Philip Rivers has turned down his second free trip to Hawaii in two years.
The Chargers' star quarterback declined a Pro Bowl invitation on Monday, citing personal reasons. He was a fourth alternate and would've joined cornerback Jason Verrett at the game.

Playing in sun -soaked San Diego must've helped his choice. Plenty of blizzard-battered football fans would love to accept his expense-free trip to Honolulu this week.
