With the 2008 mini camp in the books, the general consensus among the Chargers was that it was a success.  The players enjoyed entertaining the fans, with Antonio Cromartie’s INT of Philip Rivers (keep it up Cro….especially against the Colts and Patriots later this season), Chris Chambers tackling of Cromartie, and Vincent Jackson’s long reception […]

Lo and behold, the Chargers did some fancy footwork, trading a 5th round pick in this year’s draft (#160) and a 2nd round pick in the 2009 draft to mortal enemy New England for the chance to select LSU RB Jacob Hester (a distant cousin of Terry Bradshaw, no less) with the 69th pick overall.
Hester is […]

Once again, Chargers 17, Titans 6
O.K., where to start?  How about with Chris Chambers, who had his best game of the season in his first career playoff game (bet he’s glad he left Miami!) with 6 catches for 121 yds, with his 3rd-and-10, 39-yd clutch reception in the 4th quarter which kept alive the drive […]

Just in case, Billy Volek has been participating in practice, taking half the snaps.  While Rivers, obviously, would like to play the […]
