Considering all the hoopla and considering that CBS had a gazillion HD cameras covering the game. Does anyone find it a little odd that there is no video of this alleged disrespectful celebrating?
The news stations got the local SD channel's footage. Do you mean no video from CBS itself? I can go with the explanation that you're using most of your equipment to get postgame interviews, etc.... maybe. But what is the alternative? Some media conspiracy? I would say if anything, it's just not in frame enough, or really good enough action, that they'd show it, if they had it at all. CBS is in it for the bucks, and if they had useable footage at all they would show it and sell it to affiliates, instead of letting that local SD station collect the ducats (man, those guys at the local SD station must think God just gave them a personal miracle.)

Is there video of Rivers saying that?
The San Diego stations showed it. I specifically saw Hobbs jumping into someone's arms. And celebrating. He did it at midfield. I didn't see him mocking anyone there.
Then the news anchors are saying (about Rivers' and Tomlinson's hysterics) "that criticism is coming from two of the classiest guys in the league, so maybe they'll take it to heart."
This actually occured to me about the whole thing. It's not like we should be proud of that victory... I fully understand the exciting nature of the victory (I was freaking out myself at the time), but it's stupid to taunt a team that clearly outplayed you.The thing that gets me about it is that Hobbs HASN'T won anything yet. So why should he act like he's won 3 Superbowls?
Yeah, Wilbon on PTI always goes back to that: "when has LT EVER done this before? I think he deserves our attention.". So that makes it automatically valid? Look at it the other way: if it was T.O. saying this everyone would just tell him to shut up. If a guy with a clean record kills somebody it's as much of a crime as when somebody who's done it 6 times does it again.

Where is the video of this alleged disrespectful taunting?
CBS network video. Local SD video. Local Boston video. I've seen every available video link and all I see is the normal end of the game bench clearing that you see in every playoff game.
Did anything even happen here? Or are Tomlinson and Rivers just mental?
You'd think that the way this story is being covered, somebody would have come up with video if any of this alleged disrespect even happened.
