Well, surprise, surprise, Brett Favre has officially retired after a phenomenal 17-year career.  Favre’s cited reasons for choosing to retire now, despite getting so close to the Super Bowl again, is that he is mentally tired and wants to spend more time with his family….a great reason to me, anyway.  Of course he can still [...]

Michael “The Burner” Turner has signed a very nice 6-year, $34.5 million contract with a guarantee of $15 million with the team-who-can’t-keep-a-coach (isn’t Marty still unemployed?)  For a team who has been having trouble passing the ball, Turner will undoubtedly be extremely valuable for the Falcon organization.  With the addition of Turner and Jerious Norwood [...]

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 [...]

It [...]

Patriots’ Vince Wilfork has amassed yet another unnecessary roughness fine from the league.  This time, during the AFC Championship game when he grabbed Michael Turner’s face mask.  Although Wilfork did draw a 15-yard penalty during the game, the NFL handed him his 4th fine of the season, bringing his total to $37,500 for the year.
Wilfork [...]

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 [...]

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

Posted by Charger_Girl

December 30, 2007 | 1 Comment

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 [...]
