Now you're the one doing the insults. Spanos is MUCH worse!

I was waiting for your two cents. Hope all is well with you!

Washington Generals. But, they actually were paid to lose!

Nice post! As a little kid, we rotated around through the year. Winters in FL, Summers in PA and school in CT. I was a big Dolphins and Steelers fan in the 60s and early 70s. We moved to San Diego in 1973 and I finally had my "own" team..I rode that team through ups and downs, never being treated to the ultimate prize, but was loyal to a fault. Maybe it is because you didn't live there that allows you to continue to be a fan. I on the other hand have been betrayed by a bunch of greedy bastages. The Spanos family can all go enjoy a personal round of auto-eroticism with steel wool as far as I'm concerned.

Thanx brah! I am actually surprised at how many of you old timers are still around. I needed a place to vent football frustration and knew The Huddle was the place to come to get slapped down and have little sympathy for my complaints.

Players of his quality have intensives built into their contracts, i.e. bonuses for a certain number of catches, yards, snaps, etc. Keenan would have a legal bit(^ to pitch if that was the reason why they are limiting his snaps. If it was done covertly, there are certain guarantees in those contracts. If there is one thing most top NFL players have, it is ego and pride drives it. I'm sure there will be a point where they don't care much more than getting their numbers for more cash. I have had some really good players on bad teams help carry me to a championship before. David Boston when he was with the Cardinals and Chargers comes to mind. He seemed to always go off in trash time for 60+ and a score.

Moot - 2. of little or no practical value, meaning, or relevance; purely academic.

Yup. Would have to sell team. They would be just as moot there as in LA with Spanos stink anyway on the team.

Oops. Sorry.

LOL

But... Didn't any of you get my Washington Generals reference? Washington Generals The Chargers ARE the new Generals.

I have not been on these boards for a looooong time and stopped playing FF altogether a few years ago, deciding to actually be a part of my family's lives during the football season and enjoy my team and their games again, rather than all the games and individual players. As a die hard Charger fan, well, you old timers remember, but the key word in die hard is "hard". Yeah, it was hard to do, but the Spanos family did the almost impossible and killed almost all of any remaining NFL interest I had, and now with the protests at our anthem and the pre-game crap, if I see it, I turn the game off. That is my right to not watch or not, but for another thread. Anyways. I was thinking of how horrible it must be for anyone to try and draft a Charger player for their FF team. There is no such thing as home field advantage, the opposing teams are seating more fans than Charger fans for their "home games". The city of LA did not want them in the first place, but, there they are. Not surprisingly, they suck and have started 0-3. The NFL, by allowing the Chargers to move, reduced TV ratings automatically (despite the other NFL crap going on and poor product on the field) by abandoning one of the top ten markets in the US. There is no interest in LA to watch them on TV, unless it is the displaced fans of the visiting team. At least sell outs are easier in the 10 gallon aquarium they are playing in. It occurred to me, and it is true. The Spanos family has basically made the Chargers moot. They are just there to play the team that most people watching the game want to watch. I believe that the NFL should force the team to officially change its name to the Washington Generals.

And.... You are still scary!
