Norv Turner On The Hot Seat? Finally!

Monday, October 19th, 2009

How did it take this long for these rumors to start swirling? Well, they have and that's all that matters. Many pundits are now speculating that if the San Diego Chargers don't turn things around quickly, head coach Norv Turner could be facing the wrath of San Diego's ownership. Personally ...

That’s An Interesting Pick, Eh?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Among the many strange happenings that occurred this weekend during the 2009 NFL Draft, was a curious selection by the San Diego Chargers. With the 13th pick in the fourth round the Bolts picked defensive tackle Vaughn Martin out of the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Yes, Canada. While at UWO, ...

Are We Really Doing This Again Norv?

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

With today's completely entertaining whacking of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers my San Diego Chargers moved one step closer to what could be the most undeserving playoff run in modern sports history. And thanks to the Denver Broncos completely shitting the bed, at home, against the Buffalo Bills, all the Chargers ...

Best. Hire. Ever.

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

I don't know what to tell Auburn at this point. I spent half the damn 2008 season campaigning against Tommy Tuberville because he was dragging this team down into the pit of mediocrity that is the SEC West. As successful as he was, he no longer showed the same ability ...

McD’s Week 13 Picks: Rivalry Week Part One

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

It's McD's week 13 picks extravaganza! This week is positively loaded down with fantastic games to the point that I may not shower until 11pmĀ eastern Saturday night. My record isn't what it should be (read: shitty) against the spread, so I'm going for broke. The sheer number of picks I'm making this ...

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

It's no secret that around these parts we're not exactly huge fans of Norv Turner. I've never really accepted the fact that Norv coaches my beloved San Diego Chargers, and I don't know if I could ever get on board with the idea. Watching his emotionless face on the sidelines ...

Chargers Redistribute The Defense

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

As a Chargers fan, I can't bring myself to celebrate the departure of Ted Cottrell. Sure, he was the architect of an underachieving defense who made Art Shell seem animated on the sidelines. Sure, he had no idea how to use the incredibly talented personnel given him by GM A.J. ...

Closing the Book On This Chargers-Broncos Replay Thing

Monday, September 15th, 2008

We've already published one considerably long, angry rant on this subject. But, like that long distance relationship that ended with a break up text message, all we want is some real closure. So, let's just say this: Yes, the Chargers got screwed. No, it's not right. Yes, referee Ed Hochuli just ...

A Screw-Job For The Ages

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Let me just start this post off by letting everyone know that I am a Chargers fan. At first glance this may seem like homer-ish drivel, but I promise you I've had hours to digest what happened at "Obama Field" in Denver, and I can come to no other conclusion ...

Did all of this really happen? (An NFL playoff recap)

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Raise your hand if you expected the following things to happen during your lifetime:- Norv Turner just one win away from the Super Bowl- Billy Volek leading a team to the AFC Championship Game- Eli Manning playing further into a season than Peyton- Ryan Grant running for over 200 yards ...
