Not sure to what extent I believe this, but I’m going to pass it along. Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP in Philadelphia, says that radio host Mike Francessa is saying that Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie called San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos and told him that he won’t have access to Andy Reid. Basically, [...]
Remember former Arizona Cardinal, Miami Dolphin and San Diego Charger David Boston? He was a first-round pick out of Ohio State and a damn good player for several years. Some speculated that he was a juicer, which would dovetail with him being a beast who eventually couldn’t run a fly pattern without coming out of [...]
San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers is off to a very un-Philip Rivers-like begin to the 2011 season. The Chargers are atop the division 4-2, but something seems to be bothering Rivers as he’s missing throws that he usually makes. So, of course everyone is trying to think of what could be wrong with him. [...]
If you drafted Antonio Gates in your NFL fantasy draft this season, you’re probably regretting it. Sure, you knew he had the foot issues when you took him, but he kept saying he would play through the pain so you decided it was fine. Well, it hasn’t been fine. He’s been sitting out for weeks [...]
With all the injuries to their linebacking core last year, the San Diego Chargers had to rely on Antwan Applewhite for help. The restricted free agent had three sacks and two forced fumbles, and the Chargers were probably hoping to bring him back. What they weren’t hoping for was for him to get arrested. But [...]
Well at least he didn’t sexually assault someone. But, San Diego Chargers WR Legedu Naanee did break the law, according to police in Indianapolis. Naanee was arrested early this morning on charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest. Apparently, Naanee approached an active crime scene at 3:20 a.m. and was told by cops that he [...]
Screwing fantasy football owners everywhere, San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates has been hurt pretty badly lately. He’s got serious foot issues and even for a gamer like him, he just hasn’t been able to play. Gates recently had to acknowledge that he just might have to get shut down for the year at some [...]
There is a reason that the San Diego Chargers refused to give Shawn Merriman a new contract this past offseason. And there is a reason that they eventually put him on waivers. The truth is, the days of him being a menacing pass rusher are pretty much over. And the team that claimed him off [...]
When we talk about tough guys in the NFL, Antonio Gates isn’t a name that immediately pops up. But it should. This guy never misses games and always plays through painful injuries. This season, he’s been dealing with a bum toe on his left foot. It’s a very painful injury, but one that Gates keeps [...]
We haven’t been providing tons of updates on this particular story, because the amount of nonsense flowing in every direction has been endless. He said, she said, whatever. The bottom line is that either Vincent Jackson will report to the San Diego Chargers before Week 8, or he won’t. According to Mike Florio of PFT [...]
Wow! This story took a strange turn. We just mentioned that Junior Seau was arrested for domestic violence early this morning. It turns out that after being released he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA. Seau survived the crash but did sustain injuries. Based on these pictures of the crash from TMZ [...]
Former NFL and USC football great Junior Seau was arrested early this morning in San Diego. The incident allegedly occurred against his live-in girlfriend, but there is no word on her condition. Seau was booked into the Vista Detention Facility and released around 3:20 AM. Photo Caption: The Junior Seau Foundation aims to “educate and [...]
It is a very wild, wild week in the NFL this weekend and there is a lot to discuss. Why is it so wild? I have no clue. I just thought that if I said that, you’d just nod and agree without really thinking about the statement. I know you’ve been waiting anxiously to find [...]
There is tons of Friday injury news in the NFL and rather than put out a bunch of different posts that you won’t read anyway, I figured I’d just put it all into one post that you won’t read. Here are some updates on who is hurt and what their status is. -Minnesota Vikings QB [...]
And all this time we thought San Diego Chargers fans weren’t very passionate about their football team. Apparently, they are, and this kid is proof. No, this isn’t on the level of the crying Giants fan that blew up on Tosh.0. He was a grown man who couldn’t keep it together a day after his [...]
Since you aren’t going to go back and actually check, you’ll have to take my word for it when I tell you I am 100% spot on in my NFL picks this season. This week, I yet again will pick the games that JA and Perry were afraid to. They like to pick “low hanging [...]
Well, we guess that San Diego Chargers tackle Marcus McNeill had had enough of sitting out. According to his agent David Canter, McNeill has signed his one-year, $630,000 tender and will return to the team. McNeill won’t be available to play until Week 6, however, because the team placed him on the roster exempt list. [...]
As I’ve mentioned before, OTR’s predictions for sports events are different than other sites, because we’ve never ever been wrong. Whether it’s a mock draft or just a regular season game, we are always 100% spot on. How many can say that? So, with that in mind, let’s take a look a couple of the [...]
San Diego Chargers rookie RB Ryan Mathews is battling a high-ankle sprain and he hasn’t been able to do much this week. Earlier, there was an NFL Network report that Mathews would be unlikely to play against the Seattle Seahawks this week. Now, the San Diego Union-Tribune is confirming that report. However, both NFL Network [...]
This just makes too much sense. The San Diego Chargers have traded a seventh-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for frustrated wide receiver Patrick Crayton. The Chargers have been dealing with a thin WR core since Vincent Jackson has basically decided that he won’t play until he gets a new contract. So far, [...]
What a mess we have out here in San Diego, huh? Chargers’ WR Vincent Jackson (and their left tackle Marcus McNeil) have refused to sign their restricted free agent tenders and are demanding long-term deals. Now, the team has placed them on the roster exempt list as of Friday night. This means that once they [...]
The San Diego Chargers have had their public issues with player contracts this offseason. WR Vincent Jackson is not happy with his deal, nor is tackle Marcus McNeil. But, the Chargers did make one player happy recently. Specifically, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that the team gave Antonio Gates an extension. “Filed to Espn: Antonio Gates [...]
There is good news and bad news for San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson. First of all, he didn’t get suspended by the NFL for four games like he had previously thought. The bad news is, he still got a three-game suspension. Jackson has to pay up with the NFL because of his two DUI [...]
Sources tell San Diego Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee that WR Vincent Jackson is available for trade, even if the team hasn’t publicly announced his availability. While nothing is imminent, GM A.J. Smith is apparently digging in his heels when it comes to the demands of Jackson and Marcus McNeill. One source tells Acee that [...]
San Diego Chargers safety Kevin Ellison was arrested on Monday afternoon for rocking the party. Officially, he was pulled over for speeding in a school zone and a police search of his vehicle turned up 100 pills of Vicodin. We don’t know why there was probably cause for a search, but ok. Vicodin is a [...]
