Luis “He’s Really Cute in Person” Castillo is still out, nursing an ankle injury.

Jamal “The Big Guy” Williams did not practice this week due to a ”team decision” (whatever that REALLY means); however, he did not participate in last week’s practices either but played perfectly well against Baltimore last week.
And that’s all folks…for Chargers injuries anyway.

Last time these two teams met, in San Diego […]

Chargers 35, Ravens 14
I had forgotten how LOUD Qualcomm can get, particularly in the closed end zone where my seats are. (Piped-in fan noise??  We don’t need no stinkin’ piped-in fan noise!!!)  It was a great day for football and the 63,000+ fans in attendance made an admirable 12th man for the Chargers.
Congrats to LaDainian […]

O.K.  Revenge time boys.  Last season, in the Chargers’ impressive 14-2 season, their only two losses were to Baltimore and Kansas City, with the Ravens upsetting the Bolts in the final 3 minutes of the their game, 16-13.
This season, neither team is performing as expected.  Two of the league’s best DSTs from last year are […]
