Return To Planet Houston

Well, not exactly. We aren't going back to Houston, but we are in many ways right back where we were in January. But in many ways we are in a different spot, possibly a better spot. We are already in the playoffs. NO ONE thought we would have 11 wins total even with a fully healthy team. The tougher schedule overall, the first three division games to open, and the travel seemed to be the factors. But predictions don't matter now. I think the fans will be louder than ever toda

Is Some Other Beginning's End

I actually saw Semisonic live once. They opened for Sheryl Crow at the Beacon. It was a great show and I recall enjoying songs beyond "Closing Time." I definitely had the whole CD, but of course this was before the Age of Napster. However, I was living in the East Village and buying used and promo CDs for like four bucks anyway. I know, FAITHFUL READER. That's not what you came here for. The service I provide is simply to put my own perspective on whatever the Chargers are do

No Time Like The Present To Work Shit Out

I won't lie to you, FAITHFUL READER. I never have. When AJ Brown caught that pass with about two and a half minutes left, I thought that was it. There was no way they'd leave us any time after kicking a field goal, I figured. But the defense really stepped up the entire game and they did once again. I also thought there was no fucking way Herbert would be able to lead us down the field, especially with the clock running down. The 3rd and 10 PI on Quentin Johnston saved us. I

Man, The Dope's That There's Still Hope

Sure, it's a Springsteen quote but it's also super applicable. The Chargers, as Chatty Phil once said, are alive. After each of our four losses thus far, I wouldn't have had that perspective. Who am I kidding, FAITHFUL READER. I never have any perspective. If they don't win this one I won't have perspective either. But if you had told me that we'd lose both Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater for the season, that Omarion Hampton would be out since Week 5 which was the moment he starte

Every New Beginning

Under three hours to go, FAITHFUL READER. The Jacksonville game was abysmal. I don't need to remind you of that. I don't think they overlooked the Jaguars for one second. For the guys who remember the playoff game, I am sure they were locked in. I do think this team was limping into the bye week. If they were looking to anything, it was not playing football for a week. This season can be a lost opportunity, but only if the Chargers don't win enough in December. I could sit he

Tell your friend it's the end. I will never again desert you

Last train to Jacksonville, baby. I have so many great pics and photos from last weekend, but I'll have to post during the bye week. I am sure you don't mind, FAITHFUL READER. If you've been following on Twitter, you know Aaron and I survied the shutown and made it from JFK airport to LA at 4:30 AM our time. We were able to take the Sofi tour, where I left several Drunk on Sunday stickers throughout the stadium. We witnessed Warren Zevon's induction to the Rock and Roll Hall

Shattered

As I get ready for my flight to LA, it's impossible to not still feel the effects of the Joe Alt injury. When he went down on Sunday, I did have hope. He returned following his initial sprain against the Giants and no, I don't think he came back too early. He supposedly wanted to play in the second half of the Giants game and wanted to return earlier than he actually did. Adam Schefter was saying as of Monday that he thought Alt would get surgery and then hopefully return som

You've Got To Pick Up Every Stitch

Must be the Season of the Witch. For the FAITHFUL READERS, this is reference from the 2009 season when we really thought that team might do some damage in the playoffs. Yeah, they were weak in the trenches and it sure showed against the Jets in the playoffs. Losing to Mark Sanchez seems a little weird now, but not as weird as him doing an interview with Herbert in a car. Anyway, I said last time out that if we didn't beat the Vikings we wouldn't have anything to play for. The

Mini Bye or Maxi Bye Bye?

Sorry to come at you so late, FAITHFUL READER. It's been a short week and I feel like we just had to endure another Sunday shit show. The Colts were good as advertised, but the defense was beyond concerning. Listening to the preceded "Hops With Pop," he essentially laid out exactly how Indy would attack us. The Chargers need to be disciplined and expect Tyler Warren to leak out in the flat. Nothing was a surprise and yet the Bolts let it happen. The worst play of the game was

Continue To Fuck Shit Up

I have always attributed that line to April Powers in one of my favorite character arcs on Eastbound and Down . When Kenny joins the "Sports Sesh" show with Ken Marino, I remember her saying her husband was there to fuck shit up. I've been saying it since the 2013 season, but maybe it's not from the series. It doesn't matter. This shot I believe is from the premiere. I went with the Jaws town hall shot for good luck last week so I'll keep the vibes going with a still from the

Do or Don't (And Die)

Instead of the JIC collage, I thought I'd throw this up there. At this point, it really can't hurt. I thought the Giants game was as bad as it could get. As usual, I was wrong. The game was being shown here in NY, so I had to get a Sling Day Pass to see it and that didn't even work. By the time I was able to pick up a stream, Herbert had already ripped off his long run. I saw Washington commit that awful penalty on 4th which led to the Ladd touchdown. I am sure you know, FAIT

Always move forward/Going straight will get you nowhere

It was a complete shit on Sunday. I don't need to remind you of that, FAITHFUL READER. The only saving grace was that Aaron and I were so high up that it was hard to see the action. However, we were in the 300s and I wish it was the 600s. The worst part as that they hurt my son, who was sitting next to me during the fourth quarter muttering "I can't fucking deal with this." The Fouts jersey didn't bring us luck last week, although I did find the original photos of my Superfan
