Chargers 23, Ravens 28
First of all, that last handoff to Darren Sproles was a HORRIBLE call Norv…don’t you think that the Ravens D KNEW you were going to do that??!!
Anyway, I am proud of the Bolts for a hard-fought tough game against a great team (unlike Denver beating Cleveland, lol…the Donkeys are 2-0 against two [...]

“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 [...]

Chargers 28, Raiders 18
I have to admit, I was pretty worried at halftime with the Bolts trailing 15-0.  HOWEVER, once again, the 2nd half is, in fact, the Chargers’ half.
First of all, let me be the first to say, “See ya Kiffin” cuz you know that Al Davis is firing his arse tomorrow!
Now on to [...]

Chargers 48, Jets 29
Who else enjoyed watching Brett Favre get sacked 3 times and intercepted thrice??!!  Particularly after listening to the horrid announcers that are MNF rave about Favre this and Favre that….ack, puke!!  At least, unlike Dan Dierdorf and Troy Aikman (who, in my opinion have no business calling any more games since neither of them [...]

Stud TE Antonio Gates, who started training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform List passed his physical on Tuesday and was able to participate in team drills.  While not likely to play in either of the Chargers 2 remaining preseason games, he should (hopefully) be ready to go by week 1 vs. Carolina on [...]

Residual Preseason Week 1 Tidbits - Injuries, Signings, etc.

Stepping in for the minorly-injured Marcus McNeill against the Cowboys last weekend, newly-signed 10-year veteran OT L.J. Shelton proved a great acquisition to an already talent-laden Chargers team.  McNeill’s “stinger” is considered minor, and Shelton proved his worth protecting Philip Rivers’ blind side.
Also sidelined for the preseason thus far are DE Luis Castillo (back) and CB [...]

Halftime Update Cowgirls @ Chargers

First of all, I’m very impressed with the running game sans LT thus far.  Darren Sproles and rookies Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester all scored in the first half, illustrating the tremendous depth San Diego has on the ground.  The rest of the team looked decent for a first preseason game.  The DST was hot, [...]

A New Contract Extension for the Incredible Hulk, er Luis Castillo

Posted by Charger_Girl

July 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Stud DE Luis Castillo (for questions about the Hulk comment, READ MY BLOG a bit more regularly…OK??) signed a 7-year contract extension keeping him a Charger through the 2014 season, as his original rookie contract was set to expire after the 2009 season.
Apparently A.J. Smith continues to impress the world with his GM capabilities, ensuring [...]

Allow me to preface this entry by stating that I think Luis Castillo is one HOT guy, as well as an extremely nice person.
That said……
We saw ‘The Incredible Hulk’ today and I have to say that the Hulk looks an awful lot like Luis Castillo.  A decent movie as well.
You make the call…

Live (Delayed) from Afghanistan

Post USO-Tour Luis Castillo and friends returned from Afghanistan earlier this week; however, Castillo was more than eager to reiterate the days’ events during his memorable trip.  Check it out here.
All in all, the trip itself appeared to be a success for both NFL visitors and U.S. soliders abroad.
