Chargers Score Extremely Disappointing Fat Guy Touchdown
He didn't even have to run anywhere!...
Philip Rivers Is An Intense Weirdo
San Diego 19, Indianapolis 9: This is the only GIF necessary from this game. Nick Novak hit a 50-yard field goal just inside the two-minute warning to give the Chargers a two-possession lead. This was Philip Rivers's reaction. He's like a sad movie character who pumps himself up in front of a mirro...
Chargers Lineman Thinks He Hurt Himself Body-Slamming Raiders LB
We all marveled when Chargers rookie right tackle D.J. Fluker body-slammed Raiders linebacker Sio Moore the other morning. Because, like, whoa: That's a mobile, 240-pound man in padded gear Fluker just picked up and tossed into the ground. But the play may have cost Fluker more than just a 15-yard p...
D.J. Fluker Picked Up A Linebacker And Body-Slammed Him
This happened somewhere around 2 a.m. EDT this morning, so maybe you missed it. This is rookie lineman D.J. Fluker doing all he could—and then some—to make sure Raiders linebacker Sio Moore doesn't get to Philip Rivers on this play. Unsurprisingly, Fluker was flagged for a personal foul, but holy s...

How Did Philip Rivers Stop Sucking?
Last season, under Norv Turner and his Dink-and-Punt strategems, Philip Rivers became a dull, weaponless checkdown zombie, a man working anxiously behind a cobbled-together offensive line. Under Mike McCoy and his pepped-up offense, Rivers is looking a lot more like the slinging, derping Marmalard ...
Former Chargers Safety Commits Suicide
Paul Oliver, a former NFL safety who played the majority of his career with the San Diego Chargers, killed himself at the age of 29....
Chargers-Titans Game Ends With Ridiculous, Desperate, Failed Play
How many things go wrong in this last-ditch effort by the Chargers? We can't decide if Philip Rivers kicking the ball is pure genius or pure stupidity. Like many of Rivers's plays, it's probably somewhere in between....
Chargers Greet Fans At Stadium With Big Ol' Typo
Via For the Win, this was a sign outside Qualcomm Stadium last night. Coughing up a three-touchdown lead in the second half wasn't the only weclome the Chargers would extend to their fans....
Chargers Announcer Has Something To Say About "Richard Cunt"
Billy Ray Smith, the color commentator for Chargers preseason broadcasts on KFMB, made a reference last night to Richard Kent, a punter who was cut by San Diego on Sunday. Smith initially used the wrong vowel when pronouncing Kent's last name. His quick correction rolled right off his tongue....
The Chargers Worked Out On An Aircraft Carrier
The Chargers' event on the flight deck of the USS Ronald Reagan yesterday afternoon was only a practice in the loosest sense of the term: center Nick Hardwick and safety Eric Weddle took as many snaps as Philip Rivers....
Cardinals And Chargers Combine For "Boneheaded-As-Boneheaded-Gets" TD
If we're looking at things positively, the Cardinals did two things well on this play and the Chargers did one thing well. Yet it was the Chargers that wound up with a touchdown because the Cardinals also threw in a fuck-up that dwarfed anything the Chargers did....
Chris Berman, Trent Dilfer, And The NFL Love Jon Bostic's Illegal Hit
This is from the third quarter of Chargers-Bears last Thursday. Chargers quarterback Charlie Whitehurst throws a wide receiver screen toward Mike Willie, but Bears linebacker Jon Bostic, a second-round draft pick, separates Willie from the ball just as the ball gets there....
