Friday ushered in what is known in San Diego as “Christmas in July” - or the start of training camp.  Of course, expectations were sky high, as the team won its division the last 3 or 4 years, and barely missed 2 trips to the Super Bowl as a result of the Cheatriots, er Patriots […]

The Chargers signed ex-Raider and 11-year veteran C Jeremy Newberry to a one-year contract.  Understandably, worry as to whether Nick Hardwick will have fully recovered from foot surgery by the start of the season is on the team’s mind; but Cory Withrow did a mighty fine job filling in for Hardwick last season after the initial […]

Well, at least in San Diego…or so it seems.
Shawne Merriman had his troublesome knee scoped last week and is looking at a 4-6 week rehab period.
Marcus McNeill elected to go the shoulder route, with his surgery last week too; however, as he doesn’t typically walk on his hands (at least I hope not…he’s a VERY big […]

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.  […]

Here it is!  The big game (so far anyway.)
Interestingly, both games are a rematch from Week 2 this season.  Green Bay beat New York 35-13, and New England beat San Diego 38-14.

Congrats to AFC Defensive Player of the Week Shawne Merriman courtesy of his 3 sacks of Damon Huard last week in Kansas City, spurring the Chargers to their 7th win of the season.  This stellar performance gives “Lights Out” 36.5 sacks in his career, and 1.5 more will tie him with Chris Mims and Burt […]
