Igor Olshansky has accepted a 4-year, $18 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys.
Apparently LaDainian Tomlinson has received the Chargers‘ ”final offer” which, likely, involves a pay cut from the expected $24 million he is expected to make by 2011 under his original contract.  It’s up to LT now to decide how badly he wants to remain in [...]

WTF??

I’d like to know what idiot leaked the “news” that the Chargers put Antonio Cromartie on the block to go after Drayton Florence.  Come on, Florence was released for a reason, and why would one even think that Cro might be on the outs after one subpar season?  The guy was hurt all year (rumors [...]

With respect to LaDainian Tomlinson, anyway, that there hasn’t been any publicized progress, or lack thereof, in the whole contract negotiation thing seems to bode well for LT staying in San Diego; however, neither LT or AJ Smith are saying much.
Free Agency:
The Chargers were relatively quiet over the first day of free agency, but they [...]

According to Casey Pearce at chargers.com,
The status of running back and return specialist Darren Sproles is also on the front burner. Sproles is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in two weeks. The Chargers can apply the franchise tag to Sproles if they wish. Doing so would guarantee Sproles a one-year contract worth $6,621,000 in 2009.

Chargers 30, Patriots 10
Now that’s what I’m talking about!!  What a fantastic game!  Starting with the 48-yd beautiful catch by Vincent Jackson, the Chargers had the momentum throughout, snapping New England’s 12-game road win streak. 
Philip Rivers was on fire tonight, 18-27, 306 yds and 3 TDs; as were Jackson, 5 receptions, 134 yds and a [...]

“Character and resiliency”…

…is what Norv Turner answered when asked what he believes the team’s strengths are right now in his press conference following the upset win by Miami last week.  Character, yes, I have repeatedly argued that.  But the resiliency doesn’t seem to be there as it was last season when the Bolts started out 1-3, made [...]

Here’s to Nick Hardwick…..

Nick Hardwick is going to the Pro Bowl, which, in my mind, gives him the freedom to talk a little smack.  The New England Patriots and their fans, however, have other opinions.  Apparently nobody is allowed to talk any smack about their “perfect” and “holier than thou” team.  Yes, the Patriots are a good team.  [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Week 17 Post-Game Report or “Chargers Rule, Raiders Suck!”

Chargers 30, Raiders 17 
Welcome to the league JaMarcus Russell…..first start, first play, INT to Igor Olshansky. 
However, I, for one, am not really happy with the Chargers’ performance in the first half. 
Too much inconsistency and way too many rushing yards allowed by the DST.  Not to mention the proliferation of unnecessary penalties…completely uncalled for and [...]
