Why Your Team Sucks 2016: San Diego Chargers<em></em>

These Drawings Of A New Chargers Stadium Are Pretty But Who Gives A Shit
Here are the renderings for an entirely theoretical retractable-roof downtown Chargers stadium, should the Chargers actually stay in San Diego. The NFL gave the city one more year to pay up—to cover $1.15 billion of the total cost of the $1.8 billion stadium/convention center project—or the Chargers...
Dean Spanos Isn't Done Crapping On Chargers Fans Just Yet
San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos has already decided to torture his fan base by keeping his team in San Diego for one more season before deciding, next January, if he will move it to L.A. for the 2017 season. Based on Spanos’s recent comments, he’s going to ramp up the torment by dangling the po...

A Special Message From Rams And Chargers Fans
Yesterday, the NFL approved a deal that will send the St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles, with a second team joining them within a year, if not sooner. That second team will almost certainly be the San Diego Chargers, whose owner, Dean Spanos, will have to settle for a mere windfall instead of a bon...
The Torture Isn't Over Yet For Chargers And Raiders Fans
This morning, Rams fans are feeling angry, and sad, and betrayed. But at least it’s over. At least they know Stan Kroenke has officially ditched them for Los Angeles. There is no more dread or uncertainty, which can in many ways be even worse than just yanking off the band-aid. There is no such merc...

Eric Weddle And The Chargers Seem To Be Done With Each Other
Eric Weddle has spent all nine seasons of his pro career with the Chargers, and after he didn’t receive a contract extension before the season, it seemed likely that he’d sign with another team when he became a free agent. Now, the prospect of Weddle leaving the Chargers is a virtual certainty. And ...
The Chargers Gave San Diego Football A Deserving Funeral
San Diego’s never had a reputation for being ravenous football town, but that doesn’t make the fact that the Chargers have played what is very likely their last game in San Diego any easier to swallow for the fans who do care. Those fans showed up to cheer their asses off yesterday, and they were re...
Sikh Fans Refused Entry To Chargers Stadium Because Of Their Turbans
The Broncos kicked the shit out of the Chargers last week in San Diego. As always, plenty of Broncos fans showed up to laugh at Philip Rivers, but a few fans almost didn’t make it in because stadium security was scared of their turbans. 10News San Diego caught up with Verinder Malhi, one of the men ...
Someone Please Teach Blake Bortles The Rules Of Football
Blake my friend, you have to pass it before you go past the line of scrimmage. I understand that the blue line on the broadcasts isn’t on the field, but c’mon man, this is at least four yards past the line. You got it? Cool....
Report: NFL Might Not Come To Los Angeles Until 2017
An NFL team moving to Los Angeles next season has felt inevitable for most of the year, but that might not be the case anymore.

The Chargers Will File For Relocation To Los Angeles In January
It’s increasingly apparent that the NFL will have at least one NFL team (and probably three) playing in Los Angeles soon. The only uncertainty is which teams and when. Yesterday, the San Diego Chargers made a public declaration that they will apply for relocation. ...
Philip Rivers Used A Silent Count In His Own Stadium Because Of The Loud Steelers Fans
Monday night’s Steelers-Chargers game was ostensibly a home game for the Chargers, but it sure didn’t feel like one for San Diego Philip Rivers. All the raucous Steelers fans at the stadium made it hard for Rivers to properly communicate with his offense....
Philip Rivers Gets Pumped About Touchdown, Punches His Glove
When Philip Rivers threw his second touchdown pass in Monday night’s game against the Steelers, ESPN’s cameras caught him punching something out of midair. Some people thought it was a bird, but it was just his glove. That’s still a weird routine, but not nearly as violent....
The Steelers Mysteriously Lost 18 Seconds On Their Final Drive
As a reasonable person who wants sports to be fair and knows they wouldn’t exist otherwise, I’m so glad the Steelers didn’t lose the game because of 18 seconds that mysteriously disappeared from the clock before their game-winning drive. As a fan of drama and controversy, I wish the Steelers had got...
The Steelers' Final Play Was So Ballsy
It’s a great play call because it worked. If it had backfired, running off the remaining five seconds and being stopped shy of the goal line, the Steelers get blasted this morning for a terrible play call. Those value judgments are subjective, and dependent upon the outcome. All that can be said obj...
The NFL Wants Players To Help Pay For New Los Angeles Stadium
The NFL is coming to Los Angeles soon, no matter what Oaklanders, St. Louisans, San Diegans, or local labor groups have to say about it. The sheer amount of money behind the proposed moves of one or all of the Rams, Chargers, or Raiders, coupled with the NFL’s desire to break into the country’s #2 m...
