According to nfl.com, here are the Top 10 Draft Trades in History:
1.  1985 - The 49ers trade up for Jerry Rice.  (I highly agree with this one.)
2.  1999 - The Rams trade 2nd and 5th round draft picks to Indianapolis for Marshall Faulk.  (As a SDSU alumnus, high fives all around for this one as well.)
3.  1987 - […]

And Now a Word from the Waiver Wire

The Chargers waived Lorenzo Neal, Marlon McCree and Shane Olivea this week.  Everyone knew McCree was on the outs after Eric Weddle showed why San Diego used the 37th pick overall in the 2007 draft to get him.  Olivea lost his starting job to Jeromy Clary, and Neal will be entering his 15th season should […]

Alas, the NFC, riding high upon the Giants’ World Championship beat the AFC in the Pro Bowl Sunday, 42-30; continuing the trend of alternating conference Pro Bowl victories over the past six seasons.
Game balls were awarded to Antonio Cromartie, with 2 INTs (one off Jeff Garcia, the other off Tony Romo) and rookie Adrian Peterson (MIN) for […]

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 […]

Antonio Gates’ sprained toe kept him out of practice this week thus far, and he is not expected to play against the Colts on Sunday (big uh oh!!)
Both Chris Chambers and Jamal Williams missed practices due to a ‘team decision’ (whatever that means); but hopefully will be A-O.K. for Sunday.
Nate Kaeding has been struggling with […]

Willie Parker fractured his fibula in the first quarter of the Rams/Steelers game and is out for the remainder of the season.  With LT only 6 yds behind him (at 1,311), barring any magnificent performance by Adrian Peterson* (currently at 1,278) over the next two weeks or any idiotic decisions by Norv Turner, LT might just snag his […]

Monday Night Football in San Diego on Christmas Eve, the week after the Chargers clinched their 2nd AFC West title, will be electric, to say the least!
Last time these two teams met, Week 5 in Denver, the Chargers killed the Broncos 41-3 on the heels of LaDainian Tomlinson.    That victory spurred the Chargers to subsequently […]

Pro Bowl Selection - 8 Chargers Going to Hawaii!!

Posted by Charger_Girl

December 18, 2007 | 1 Comment

LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Lorenzo Neal (hurry up leg….heal!) are all Pro-Bowl AFC Starters.
Alternates include Kris Dielman, Jamal Williams, Kassim Osgood, Antonio Cromartie, and Shawne Merriman (although personally, I believe that INT leader Cromartie and sack leader Merriman deserved the starts.  Apparently my 37 pro bowl ballots weren’t enough.)
Way to go guys!!  You can pack […]
