TDs to cure Huntington’s Disease

For every TD pass caught by Chargers WRs and TEs this season, a donation will be made to TDs to cure HD, a program implemented to find a cure for Huntington’s Disease, a fatal, genetic brain disorder. 
Furthermore, while the players score the touchdowns, fans can score as well. “By making a tax-deductible pledge for every touchdown scored, fan can earn […]

Notes from Training Camp

Friday ushered in what is known in San Diego as “Christmas in July” - or the start of training camp.  Of course, expectations were sky high, as the team won its division the last 3 or 4 years, and barely missed 2 trips to the Super Bowl as a result of the Cheatriots, er Patriots […]

Mini Camp Musings

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 […]

Day 2 - Draft Update

April 27, 2008 | 1 Comment

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 […]

The Day After

Well, it seems I have calmed down considerably after yesterday’s tirade; however, I am not “over” it by any stretch of the imagination.  Understandably, I, as well as the Chargers and the rest of their fans, were highly upset after the loss, especially after the turnovers from a tough Patriot offense, but the Chargers couldn’t […]

What Else is New?

Was Marty Schottenheimer coaching this game?  Because the playcalling SUCKED, as usual.  Where was the reverse?  Where was the halfback option?  Where were the TDs?  Where the *%($ was the DEFENSE?!?
I swear, they looked like they did at the beginning of the season when they sucked.  What happened?  How much did they pay you Norv […]

Here it is!  The big game (so far anyway.)
Interestingly, both games are a rematch from Week 2 this season.  Green Bay beat New York 35-13, and New England beat San Diego 38-14. 
I was watching Gameday on NFL Network this morning.  Trent Dilfer was illustrating the injury to Philip Rivers’ knee and how it may affect his […]

(Wow, I’m impressed with myself over that title!)
Shawne Merriman had missed practice earlier this week due to an illness.  Flu-like symptoms, he asserts he caught from Antonio Cromartie (after laughing at Cro for being sick….tsk tsk.)  Luckily they are both feeling better, and Merriman along with Norv Turner, Billy Volek, Shaun Phillips, Stephen Cooper, Luis […]

Don’t ask me why, but my dear husband turned on the NFL Network while we were eating dinner and guess what was on?
The AFC Divisional Playoff game from last season:  New England at San Diego.  Many, if not all, of you reading this should remember that dreadful somber day in Chargers’ history (unless you’re an […]

Championship Week Early Injury Update & Good Karma Post #4 (a.k.a. There She Goes Again!)

January 17, 2008 | 1 Comment

Everyone knows the Chargers have a lot of injured stars; hopefully, however, everyone on this list will be A-O.K. to play Sunday in what, so far, is the biggest game of the season for San Diego.  Yes, the playoffs are important, and yes, they’ve done exceptionally well thus far.  But winning the AFC Championship is […]
