NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

The San Diego Chargers are the big surprise of the NFL for the past several years, because they did not win it all. No Super Bowl victories.

JaMarcus Russell – very expensive number 1 pick
Build your lines.
Get your quarterback.
That is the plan.
The plan can take you to the Super Bowl.
It seems simple, but it is not. This is the formula that the New England Patriots followed, as well as the New York Giants, and San Diego Chargers. Green Bay was a little different, because 38 year old Brett Favre has been around much longer than any of the linemen.
In order to follow this plan, you need a great talent evaluator.
That person has to be backed up …read more

LaDainian Tomlinson – who was that masked man?
What was going on here?
Sure the Patriots won the game against the Chargers and now will face the Giants in the Super Bowl in Arizona, but what exactly was going on?

Hey, Tom Brady, why is Philip Rivers so much better than you?
What?
What are you saying?
Coach Bill Belichick picked the San Diego Chargers to win the Chargers/Patriots game on Sunday.
You mean he came out in public saying his team would lose to the Chargers?
Well, no.
So you are just pulling my leg, right?
Not exactly. Belichick had a team meeting and ripped the Patriots up and down and spoke so highly of the Chargers that he had the team believing the Chargers would win, unless the Patriots buckle down.
Huh?
So Belichick did what he …read more

Philip Rivers may play on one leg
Somewhere the Chargers have to be feeling a slap in their face.
Why?
Because the Patriots did not want to face Peyton Manning and the Colts. They knew if Peyton got the Colts offense rolling, he could put up enough points to win the game.
So they want to play the Chargers?
No, they want to play the Detroit Lions, but it came down to the Chargers or Colts. In that case, they would prefer the Chargers.
Besides Peyton Manning is there a reason?
Oh, yeah! To begin …read more
