First of all, I’d like to pass on to you the site of one of my readers who invited me to predict the score of the Chargers/Jets game Monday night. It is http://www.squidoo.com/sandiegochargerstobeatjets16-10 . You’ll have to give it a visit if you want to see my prediction. (YES, I predicted a Chargers win!!)

With Shawne Merriman’s decision to undergo season-ending knee surgery, San Diego’s linebacking corps will be a group effort. Thanks to the extreme depth on the team, there will be a group rotation at the outside LB spot. Among the replacements, Jyles Tucker, Marques Harris, and the newly-elevated-from-the-practice-squad Antwan Applewhite will take turns playing opposite Shaun [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
Leave it to LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Kris Dielman to come up with this.
Some friendly conversation turned into reminiscing about the ‘good ole days’ and last Thursday’s practice found the team in their old college jerseys. Fun was had by all, particularly for Gates who wore his #44 Kent State basketball jersey and safety Clinton [...]
