Game Day Reports

On the last home game of the season, the Chargers hosted the Baltimore Ravens before a Sunday Night Football audience.  With the Texans loss earlier in the day, the Ravens entered Qualcomm stadium as the #1 seed in the AFC.  At the conclusion of the game, the Ravens held the #5 seed pending the outcome […]

Two weeks ago, the Chargers were reeling from six consecutive losses that put them out of the playoff hunt.  Two weeks later, the Chargers are riding high after two consecutive wins, reversing their losing streak.  The latest victim of the Chargers’ resurgence were the Buffalo Bills, who flew into San Diego to escape the cold. […]

I like going on road trips, particularly when I can drive to the destination.  I live in Los Angeles and believe me, there ain’t no such thing as a open road when you have the absolutely worst traffic in the world.  So whenever I get a chance to visit Phoenix, it’s special…not because I get […]

Last time, I speculated that the Chargers were at a crossroads and that the path that they were on was to mediocrity.  This week, speculation turned into confirmation.  The Chargers are a mediocre team…and that is being kind. This past Sunday, the Denver Broncos came to town sporting a 4-1 record under new starting QB […]

The Raiders are not a good team.  Not by any standards.  They start a quarterback who has not played meaningful football for most of the year.  Their star running back was injured and riding the pine.  But they can be dangerous if you don’t come to play with the requisite level intensity and skill that […]

They say it is better to give than to receive.  If that was the case, Philip Rivers would be the NFL’s man of the year.  Over the past eight games, the San Diego Quarterback has uncharacteristically thrown 14 interceptions…a gift to opposing defenses.  This past Sunday was no different.  With the Green Packers in town […]

The Chargers have been playing uncharacteristically of late.  Their usually high powered offense has sputtered all season long and their usually stout defense has been rather pedestrian in the first three games, making it hard to imagine that the Chargers actually led the NFL in offense and defense last year.  But going in this week’s […]

Most NFL fans expected a blow out win for the Chargers on Sunday.  After all, they were playing the 0-2 Chiefs who had been out scored 89 – 10 in the previous two games and were without star running back Jamaal Charles, lost for the season due to a knee injury.  But a funny thing […]

My heart belongs to the Charger Girls.  They are my hometown squad.  They are quintessential California Girls and I’m a native Californian.  So you can say, I love the Charger Girls…but…I lust after the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders.   The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders are an impressive group of young women.  They are intelligent, talented, and very […]

Fatigue, thy name is…mine.  Just 24 four hours earlier, I was in Sacramento, covering the 2011 Sacramento Kings Dancers open call auditions (more about that later this week).  Sunday and 504 miles later, I was in San Diego to attend the Chargers home opener against the Minnesota Vikings.  Now being an old geezer of 48 […]
