Re: taco presidents, LBJ is from Texas and served as a legislator here before becoming Vice President and then President. It seems unlikely he didn’t eat a taco on the campaign trail at some point. But going even further back, Teddy Roosevelt’s claim to fame before politics was his exploits in the Spanish-American… Read more
It’s tough to forum shop when it comes to MDL litigation. I speak with direct knowledge of the settlement program, and I would say if anything, Brody is too deferential to Seeger (Co-Lead Class Counsel) over the NFL, and the bits in the story about him do sort of ring true. Read more
Just 15 days after quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Ravens rolled up 159 yards on the ground against the Chargers Read more
The predictability aspect seems a lot more interesting than the seven DBs. For as much as Romo kept talking about those DBs, they didn’t really seem to be making that much of an impact. Sure, Derwin James was flying to the ball, but he does that no matter where he’s lined up. Read more
I’m originally from Orange County (live in LA now) and bailed the Chargers for the Rams when they moved back to LA because I couldn’t stand Spanos and all of the drama over the past decade. That said, the Chargers built a following in OC/Riverside/SD during the 90s and the LT years and I always felt they would have a… Read more
Lifetime Chargers fan here, originally from the city just west of Carson where (StubHub Center is). I, like all Chargers fans, was bummed they were moving from San Diego, even though they were moving a bike ride’s distance from the house I grew up in. However, it pisses me off when people (including San Diegans) say… Read more
I live in LA. I work in the San Gabriel Valley, about 15 miles northeast of LA. I’ve been down here for 3.5 years. Honest to God, I have yet to meet a Chargers fan, and I talk to a shit-ton of people. Rams fans? Definitely. Raiders fans? Everywhere. But not a SINGLE Chargers fan. You’d think somebody would… Read more
While my loyalty is with the Seahawks, I am also a Chargers fan with no connection to San Diego or LA. My uncle Jacque MacKinnon played for them from 1961-1969 in the AFL. He died under interesting circumstances when I was 5, jumping a fence while evading police and falling to his death. That story, added to family…
Bowles deserved to be fired because he couldn’t get the best out of this shit show roster...however the roster is a shit show and that’s not on him. This kind of failure is 100% organizational and not just on the GM or the coach, everybody has to go. Bowles being the fall guy isn’t a race thing (though it always sucks… Read more
The Seahawks are successful because most of the defenses are built to defend the pass-heavy offenses throughout the NFL. Most defensive front sevens are lightweight, fast, and built to rush the QB or cover the TE/WRs, not hold off a 320lb OL before tackling a hard-hitting RB. Seattle has road-grader offensive linemen… Read more

I watched Flutie throw the Hail Mary at the OB in ‘84. I was 9. My dad turned the TV off, popped open a Schaefer’s, and said “well Flutie just won the Heisman, and that’s not good because Bill Fralic is one of the best college players I’ve ever seen”. He was being talked about all season in ‘84 as a Heisman candidate.… Read more
awesome poster, too.
Don’t forget, he was also in the WrestleMania 2 battle royal. (The action starts around eight minutes in.)
