I have been reading conflicting reports about Rivers. The SDUT claims he is still nursing an injury from a illegal helmet to the sternum hit during the NE game. Of course, the Chargers and Norv Turner have not mentioned it. All I keep hearing about is fixing the "interception problem". Hello, it's not a problem Norv, it's a catastrophe. Rivers has thrown 6 interceptions in three games. That is double what his stat typically shows going into week four. Could his injury be the cause? I wonder if it's worse than they are saying because Rivers is a bad ass. He played in two playoff games without a ligament in his knee. No one is as tough. So what's going on Philip?
Gates has an injured foot. Still. He went to see yet another foot specialist yesterday and no news has been leaked as to what the doctor said. Thank goodness McMichael has stepped up to be a our number one TE. To be honest, I didn't know he was on our team last year... ha ha. Oh well, he has my attention now and number 81 is bringing it. This whole thing with Gates foot started with artificial turf. I think it should be banned. All real grass, all the time.

Chiefs at Chargers - Clusterfuck
Typically, my blogs have a pro-Chargers positive vibe. Not today. Today, as their fan, I am also their antagonist. I challenge them to stop sucking. Yesterdays game reminds me of Ronald Regan and his "trickle down" economics. What we are seeing is trickle down coaching. It sucks at the top, so they are dragging the best talent in the NFL down with them.
Lack of discipline, poor clock management, apathy and the worst play calling I have ever seen comes from this group:
Head Coach - Norv not only has the attitude of an anemic sloth, but his play calling is laughable. I could go on and on here about how bad it is and cite examples, but you have all seen it in action. How many times have you screamed out loud when it is 3rd and 17 and he calls in a fucking run play? AAAAH! Here's a hint Norv, on 3rd and 17 you let the QB throw the damn ball!
Special Teams - New guy, Rich Bisaccia. He is for sure a step up from our previous special teams coach, but only a tiny step. I honestly think the ONLY thing they worked on in camp was how not to get your punt blocked. That is the only thing they have done with success, which is not saying a whole hell of a lot. We are averaging 21 yards on returns, with 90% of them starting in the end zone that equals zero in my book. Maybe practice that!
Offensive Line - Hal Hunter. Hal, Hal, Hal. I gotta tell you, I love your wife Tracy. She is funny and pretty and super cool. Some days, knowing I get to chat with her is the only reason I go to the gym. Why don't you let her and I coach the line for a couple games? I do not care if each guy weighs over 300 pounds and could bite my head off with one chomp. I will be in their faces yelling until I turn red if Rivers if touched. Period. Show some passion, get in their faces, threaten to cut their pay if he is sacked, I don't care. The turnstile OL needs to stop!
Wide Receivers - Charlie Joiner. Here I will not complain. He is a great fit and even if he wasn't, the stars in my eyes from memories of watching him play will not allow me to say anything bad.
John Pagano - Tell your boys to look for the damn ball and stop touching people. This is football not a night club and those are not their dates!! Maybe practice intercepting the ball. If you were already practicing that, only Weddle was paying attention. Again, lack of discipline. Also, if you play the prevent defense, you prevent the win. While this seems totally obvious, you still do it. Didn't the NE game where they scored with 9 seconds left before the half teach you anything? Not every team is being lead to laziness by Norv. Knock it off.
Ok, I feel better, we barely squeezed out a win so Chargers are 2-1. This makes us tied for first with the Raiders. Broncos in second and well, the Chiefs are on the list too.
Feel free to call me for coaching advice boys, I'm here all day.

Chargers vs. Chiefs - Preview
The San Diego Chargers' run of AFC West titles ended at four last season as the Kansas City Chiefs went from worst to first. Something that will not be repeated this year.
While the Chargers have some issues they need to resolve in order to recapture division supremacy, those pale in comparison to the problems the Chiefs are facing. I mean, let's face it, there is no side of the ball where they are performing.
San Diego split its two games against Kansas City in 2010. This season I expect us to win both and we will be starting on our turf. (BTW, if you are looking for an impartial preview, it's not here!)
Philip Rivers, who has thrown for 713 yards and four touchdowns, knows what it means to get off to a great start in the division, and he is excited to get to it this week. FF Note: Make sure to start all Chargers this week, esp. Rivers!
The Chargers have a great chance Sunday considering they've not only outscored Kansas City 74-14 in winning the last two meetings at Qualcomm Stadium, but the Chiefs (0-2) also appear to be in a state of disarray. Ok, let's not sugar coat it, the Chiefs are falling apart. Kansas City has been outscored by 79 points (worst differential through two games in franchise history) and has had to put three of its top players on injured reserve with torn ACLs. The only thing that could possible cause a loss is bad coaching (Turkey Neck) and special teams. I am still not sold on the new coach. I am seeing the same lack of discipline as before.
Although things are looking bleak for the Chiefs, coach Todd Haley said he is not ready to give up.
"The season will not be canceled as far as I know," he said. (ha ha, it will feel like it on Sunday!)
Matt Cassel, who has not thrown for more than 133 yards total and owns a 50.4 quarterback rating (how is he still their starter? Even Ryan Leaf had a better rating!) is responsible for five turnovers -- including four interceptions. Cassel has also struggled in his last three games against the Chargers, averaging 114.3 yards with three touchdowns and four picks.
Rivers has averaged 295.2 yards and posted a 108.0 passer rating in six games versus Kansas City since 2008 -- five victories... Sunday will make it six.

Week Two - Injury Report - all WR's.
I'm actually a little shocked that the San Diego Chargers injury report only holds three names this week.
Malcolm Floyd is the biggest impact with a groin strain and is questionable for week three. Personally, I say let him sit. We are playing KC after all. Everyone should get a turn getting a TD, so Floyd can rest his junk.
Vincent Brown still has a quad injury, and Crayton is still babying his ankle.
By week four I expect these boys to quit being whiners, get a shot, rub some dirt on it and get out there and make catches.
Other teams in the league are on their third string QB (Denver), losing expensive rookies left and right and even the Colts are getting Peyton a neck transplant.
Chargers are healthy going into week three. Should be a pretty massacre.

Week Two.. Exciting and yet oh so dissapointing.
Wow, what a week two, there were so many close games that my nails are chomped down to the quick. That said, The Chargers managed to lose a not-so-close game to the Patriots (chomp chomp).
There were not a lot of highlights, but some of the lows included, Rivers throwing for 29 completions, I guess it's 31 if you count the two interceptions (one to a lineman!). Tolbert fumbled on a drive into the red zone. Oh, and -2 yards for kickoff returns. Actually, if you analyze the numbers, it should have been a much closer game. Passes, total yards and even penalties were almost the same. It was those damn turn overs that cost them the game. That, and the fact that three out of four times we run up the fucking middle! Where EVERY single defensive player just happens to be. It seems so obvious to me to run to the left or right - not backwards then fumble (yeah, you Tolbert). Left or right. I will say I was really impressed (again) with VJ, he is officially back on the boat. Keep bringing it!
Chargers loss brings them to 1-1, which is second place. Maybe next week we could have more TD's than TO's. Hmmmm? (Thank goodness it's against KC)
Aside from the Chargers losing, here is some other league tid bits.
Michael Vick - He got his bell rang and still wanted to play. I'm not saying I'm joining his fan club, but I'm gonna admit he is a tough dude. I'm spitting out blood, you can pretty much guarantee I'm done.
Chiefs - Wow, they are seriously bad. I don't even think there is a word to describe how bad. Awful and terrible just are not good enough.
Raiders - Way to blow the lead and lose.... excellent. I actually turned to the Saints game because I was getting pissed. From now on I will not watch and they will lose.
On to a home game and a win. Prediction Chargers 50 - Chiefs 0

Tedy Bruschi upset at Ocho... really?
New England Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco drew more attention for a tweet about Monday's game than for what he did on the field against the Dolphins. Which was one catch for 14 yards.
Reacting to quarterback Tom Brady throwing for 517 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-24 win over Miami, Ochocinco tweeted: "Just waking up after a late arrival, I've never seen a machine operate like that n person, to see video game numbers put up n person was WOW."
Five New England receivers had more yards and three of the five had touchdown receptions.
ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi, appearing on sports radio WEEI, said Ochocinco better "drop the awe factor" and "stop tweeting and get in your playbook."
I like Tedy, really I do, but he needs to realize two things. 1. This is a whole new ballgame. Guys tweet about everything they do on and off the field. Chad is a habitual tweeter who will even tweet what he is having for breakfast. 2. He was saying something nice about his team. Who is not in awe of how badly Miami stunk it up in order for Brady to have a 500+ yard game?
I am not sure why Tedy does not like Ochocinco, but he needs to get over it. Unlike me, he is a paid analyst who needs to pretend to be unbiased. He is also no longer a Patriot and can't get his feelings hurt because he wasn't there when they were breaking records.
Get over yourself!

Injury report holds blessing in disguise.
Keading has been a super choker in every playoff game he has played in, this was the missing piece of our road to the Super Bowl puzzle. Enjoy your time off dude!
The Bolts entered the season with six defensive linemen on the 53-man roster, all of whom were active Sunday against Minnesota. Expect third-year defensive end
Mr. Three TD's,

Patriots, Chargers and Bat Busters.
September 11, 2001. A day that is a reminder of what it means to be an American and the importance of family. Today, 10 years later, the anniversary of this day is filled with things that make me proud to be an American, Chargers fan and a mom.
Here is how we do Patriot Day.
First - Add a second flag pole to the house, we cannot possibly choose between the Chargers flag and the American flag on September 11th. Both must be represented.
Second - Get up at o'dark hundred to prepare for a softball double header. 4S Bat Busters took on Poway for 5 hours and 2 very exciting softball games. Each won a game.
Third - Watch the Chargers take on the Vikings and win. We rushed home from softball to make snacks and watch football with family and friends. It was loud, filling and fun.
Highlights from the game ~ Tolbert scores three touchdowns! Has that ever happened? Rivers threw for over 300 yards, but was intercepted twice. I am afraid to look, but I am sure this affected my FF rating. Sigh. Matthews looked great. I am starting to like this kid. Of note, our skiddish kicker was carted off the field after the first kick was returned for a touchdown. I'm not sure if he just got his feelings hurt or if it was a real injury. Either way, we didn't need him. Scifres did a fine job.
San Diego 24, Minnesota 17~ Right now, we are number 1 in the AFC West, yeah! Thanks to the Chiefs for sucking bad today.
Fourth - Get ready for Sunday night football, Monday night football and more fun!

Power Outage and Saints Smashing
Well, due to some yahoo in Arizona I did not get to watch the very first game of the regular season. I was very sad to miss it, but I did not cry like Aidan did. I was so proud of him at that moment and knew I was doing a good job as a parent by raising yet another rabid football fan. Now that the power is back on I have had time to read up on yesterdays game and I gotta tell you that all the bloggers and so called football analysts need to get their heads out of Aaron Rodgers ass.
Seriously, one game into the season and they are proclaiming Rodgers to be "the best QB in the game". Maybe you should see how others perform before making such a out there comment. When Rivers crushes the Vikings I am sure they will be saying the same thing, but the Rodgers proclamations are over zealous. Make these kind of statements in week 8, not now.
Ok, now that I'm done ranting on that I will have to say that the Packs offense did certainly show up with Rodgers completing to nine different receivers. I will give him an "impressive" on that. Randall Cobb is certainly the real deal and I wouldn't mind having him in FF. He is explosive and smart. Damn, why isn't he a Charger?
Speaking of the Chargers, Sproles made some great plays for NO. He was an awesome Charger, so I knew he would do great there and Brees made good use of his newest veteran. Sproles even got a 72 yard punt return for a TD. Giddieup!
Saints blew it in the red zone, but all in all performed well, just not good enough.
NO 34 - GB 42
Common Sunday!

Just like Christmas!
Today is a day that football fans across the world can't wait to happen. There are count downs, parties, beers and so so many types of food.
Finally, the first day of football has arrived. We have all awoken with smiles on our faces and thoughts of touchdowns and snack foods in our heads. For most of us, we do not care that our favorite team is not playing today, it's just the simple fact that regular season football is on. With the sweat, tears and victories of other teams we will be happy. If it just so happens that you are rooting for the Saints (Kele) or the Packers, then happy first day of the season to you! I'll be sharing that special kind of joy on Sunday when my Chargers crush the Vikings. Crush I tell you! Ahhh, let the taunting begin.
Let there be football. :-)

Shocker out of JX - Garrard released!
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran quarterback David Garrard on Tuesday, a stunning move that will save the franchise $9 million this season.
Whether it saves coach Jack Del Rio's job remains to be seen. Team owner Wayne Weaver has said Jacksonville needs to make the playoffs for Del Rio to stick around for a 10th season (I guess that means he should start packing). Del Rio made it clear late last season that he had grown tired of Garrard's inconsistent ways, but the coach remained steadfast through training camp and the preseason that Garrard was his starter.
Not sure what Garrard did to get cut, but wow!

Ahhh, regular season is finally here!
How exciting! Two days from real football. The real hits, run and passes that make us hold our breath, scream and spew expletives. I cannot wait. :)
This seasons opening game. Brees vs. Rodgers.... or, Saints vs. Packers for a Thursday Nite matchup. These two Super Bowl winning teams promise enough excitement to cause you to have some Bayer aspirin on hand. I can't wait!
FYI - I must root for the Saints. Brees was a Charger first, so I will always hope he wins (unless he is playing the Chargers, of course). Plus, we all like it when Kele is happy. So geaux Saints!
Big shout out to Manny ~ Happy Birthday Dude!

Chargers lose Tolzien to Niners! Look out Smith!
Quarterback Scott Tolzien was claimed by San Francisco and center/guard Colin Baxter was claimed by the New York Jets.
I liked Tolzien a lot, I was hoping that if we decided not to stay 3 deep in the QB slot we would put him on the practice squad. I hate to say it, but it's a smart move by the Niners to grab him as they were super weak in QBs and needed someone who could run the West Coast Offense. I would not be surprised to see him replace Smith by game four when the Niners are 0-3.

49ers choose Smith as their starter.
Coach Jim Harbaugh formally made the announcement that has been anticipated by 49ers fans. Harbaugh claims that Smith played "calm, cool and collected." He must have not been watching the same game. I saw him get rushed and only make 8 completions, but I'm not managing a losing franchise and oh, expect him to be able to handle West Coast offense...
Did I mention he did not throw a touchdown during any of the four preseason games... just sayin.
Smith, is a 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick out of Utah and took the majority of reps with the first-team offense during training camp. Now, he will be the guy going into the team's Sept. 11 opener against the defending NFC West champion Seattle Seahawks at Candlestick Park. Smith returned to the Niners for 2011 on a $5 million, one-year deal after a positive meeting with Harbaugh -- an ex-NFL quarterback himself -- during the spring.

Snoozefest... but a few reasons to wake up.
Matthews and Gilchrist were stand outs, otherwise, another boring preseason game. No one got hurt and now we can prep for a Viking pillaging. Of course, we will be doing the pillaging.
I was perusing NFL.com during the extra boring parts. Philip Rivers and The Chargers are expected to do great things this season by the entire football community. Usually, its just us die hard fans, but not this year. Rivers is predicted to be the NFL MVP, by every analyst on the panel. How you like them apples Tom Brady?! ha ha
The axe will be sharp this week. I'll update with cuts when I get them.
REGULAR SEASON here we come!
