San Diego City Council Members Righteously Own Chargers President Dean Spanos
In November, San Diego residents voted against ballot Measure C, which would have provided the San Diego Chargers with $1.15 billion in taxpayer money for the purpose of building a new football stadium. It was the voters’ way of telling Chargers owner Dean Spanos to stop asking for handouts and to f...

Philip Rivers Throws Away Chargers Game With A Last-Minute Pick-Six
San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers did a less-than-stellar job of keeping the ball away from the Miami Dolphins Sunday. A total of three interceptions through the first three-and-a-half-plus quarters... and then one more with hardly one minute left in the fourth quarter of a tied ballgame....
Just Five Minutes Of Philip Rivers Saying Stuff
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has always struck me as a sort of charming goober, so it’s nice to hear five minutes of in-game audio that more or less confirms my assessment....

Joey Bosa Appears To Be Good As Hell
Remember those anonymous NFL executives who wanted you to believe that Joey Bosa’s rookie season was going to be a wash because he missed training camp and preseason? Remember how the Chargers thought it was a good idea to engage in a long and ugly contract standoff with Bosa over little things like...
The Broncos Were So Bad Tonight
The Denver Broncos’ best offensive play of the night didn’t count....
The Chargers Are Mad At Their Kicker For A Stupid Reason
The San Diego Chargers lost a game in embarrassing fashion on Sunday, blowing a shot at a game-tying field goal with a botched snap. After the game, Chargers kicker Josh Lambo was seen sharing a laugh with Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski, and now he’s in trouble with his teammates and coaches be...
Mike McCoy Is Running Out Of Ways To Lose
Let it never be said that the Chargers lose boring. Dating back to the start of last season, 13 of San Diego’s 16 losses have come by a single score. They’re 1-4 this year, all four losses coming after blowing second half leads. This is not a team that loses so totally their fans are free to turn of...
Chargers Line Up For Game-Tying Field Goal, Crap Themselves
The Chargers squandered an eight-point advantage in the second half and allowed the Raiders to claw back and take a 34-31 lead late in the fourth. No worries, however; San Diego had an opportunity to tie the game with a field goal. Surely nothing disastrous could happen on an attainable, 36-yard att...
San Diego Chargers Finally Sign Joey Bosa
Joey Bosa’s nearly monthlong holdout is over. The rookie defensive end and the San Diego Chargers finally agreed upon a contract, the team announced today. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed....
Branden Oliver Carted Off With Possible Torn Achilles

Report: Everyone Laughing At Chargers
The reasons Joey Bosa haven’t signed boil down to the timing of his payouts, and a couple of million dollars that won’t even come into play unless they cut him in 2019 and someone else signs him. This stuff is standard practice for draft picks this high; the Chargers have a team policy against it....
Joey Bosa's Agent Fires Back At San Diego Chargers
Yesterday, the San Diego Chargers publicly disparaged third overall pick and rookie holdout Joey Bosa.

The Chargers' Contract Impasse With Joey Bosa Just Got Uglier
The San Diego Chargers and third overall draft pick Joey Bosa still haven’t agreed to a contract. The team has its first game in 18 days, and it claims it’s ready to play it without the rookie defensive end....
A Truly Devastating Juke
The Chargers, who suck, are staring down a whole host of problems this season. Joey Bosa is only nominally a Charger, their offensive line is injury-prone and bad, and they are still owned by Dean Spanos, who manages to be both cruel and incompetent. Thankfully, Keenan Allen is young and strong, and...
I Can't Believe The Chargers' Standoff With Joey Bosa Is Still Going On
The San Diego Chargers have yet to sign third overall pick Joey Bosa, and the rookie defensive end’s holdout has now gone on longer than any first-round pick’s since the new CBA was instituted in 2012. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the two sides haven’t even spoken since July 28, and now Bosa’s ...
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...
