For every TD pass caught by Chargers WRs and TEs this season, a donation will be made to TDs to cure HD, a program implemented to find a cure for Huntington’s Disease, a fatal, genetic brain disorder. 
Furthermore, while the players score the touchdowns, fans can score as well. “By making a tax-deductible pledge for every touchdown scored, fan can earn […]

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 […]

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, […]

Jamal Williams has returned to practice.

Clinton Hart is loking to up his interception total this season.

The league has eliminated the force-out rule.  Defenders will now have considerably more latitude in pushing sideline receivers out of bounds without provoking the endless litany of instant replay dialogue and never-ending slow motion re-airs of one […]

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 […]

With the 2008 mini camp in the books, the general consensus among the Chargers was that it was a success.  The players enjoyed entertaining the fans, with Antonio Cromartie’s INT of Philip Rivers (keep it up Cro….especially against the Colts and Patriots later this season), Chris Chambers tackling of Cromartie, and Vincent Jackson’s long reception […]
