The San-Dee-Egg-O, Super Chargers Thread

The guy that is a backup that I think could be a good vet to pickup is John Kitna from Cinci. Kitna had a solid year two years ago (I think being a Pro Bowl alternate) and played OK last year when Palmer got hurt. I'd dump Garcia, bring in a good QB coach, try to get a guy like Kitna and keep Harrington around for one last shot.

There was also a story in the local paper about hometown guy Tim Couch and him trying to get back into health. People lay alot on Couch for being a bust, but the biggest reason is that he hurt his shoulder and throwing arm really bad. Couch played OK for the Browns when he wasn't getting sacked ten times a game.

I would not be suprised if in a year or two Tim Couch comes out of nowhere to be on a NFL roster again. Stranger things have happened, Jim Plunkett was a total bust for something like eight or nine years until he got it together and won two Superbowls with the Raiders.

oh man

Great game

For reference's sake, this is only the third time in team NFL history that the Chargers have made it to the AFC Championship. So it's kind of a big deal.

Contextually, as a Chargers fan, it's extra-gratifying to accomplish it in a year when the team was constantly derided, and after a complete overhaul of the coaching staff, ... with great contributions from the key replacements (Cromartie, Cooper, Wilhelm, Sproles, Clary, Weddle, Naanee, Jyles Tucker, etc.). All of those dudes played better than expected, and confirms that AJ Smith is one of the very best talent guys in the football.

And also, it turns out that it's fun to root for Norv Turner! Did you see his awesome salsa dance with Luis Castillo?

Yes! Principal Skinner can dance!

that san diego super chargers song! i don't think i ever heard it until this season, why don't all the teams have disco

I heard rumor of a Philip Rivers + 2005 1st round pick for the Jets' first round pick. It would be the fifth pick overall, I believe, if the season ended today, and presents a chance to get AJ Hawk or maybe D'Brickashaw Ferguson. I'm all for it. Also like to see the Bolts pick up a veteran backup for Brees... Feeley does not instill great hope.

I guess I'd rather have Rivers + Castillo than Brees + Ferguson/Hawk, but I'm not sure anymore.

that teletubbies youtube almost made my day, except the weather is so horrible.

man where is the 49ers 80s ditty? do they have a version with mr blobby or something?

let's just keep posting this everywhere forever

srsly i have watched it about 10 times and still laughing my ass off

it is truly a delight.

I like the sound that represents the lightning

well, keep in mind that yall picked Cromartie with that year's first rounder, plus d'brickashaw is d'brickadogshit (lol@2@) - buuuut, you could've had haloti ngata with that fourth overall pick, and a ngata + castillo + williams line would be the best 34 line in the league.

lol d'brickaSUX huh

heh

heh just heh

Oh right, wrong draft.

I would've been ecstatic if the Chargers had wound up with Ngata, but I don't think they would've picked him. They still believed in Igor Olshanksy at that point, a recent 2nd round pick who is strong as hell. They almost definitely would've picked Ferguson, Hawk, Huff, or Sims over Ngata just based on perceived needs.

Did you guys see Ngata on goal-line offense the other day? Dude is a masher.

let me tell you, in my day i have seen a good number of dancers doing their own personal dance, i'm talking a dozen or more of these characteristic dances, maybe up to as many as 20, and let me just say that LADAINIAN TOMLINSON'S LT STYLE ELECTRIC GLIDE is - without a doubt - one of those approx. 15-20 dances
