You Chargers fans have something special.

by Steve Nichols on Sep 8, 2008 3:00 PM PDT Comment 35 comments

DaBolts, leader of the new SBN Charger's site, is something special indeed.

For those of you that don't know him, he got his start over at the Broncos site (Milehighreport.com), where he wrote about the Chargers because there wasn't a SBN site for the Chargers. Talk about dedication!

That's right. Instead of just lurking around the internet, Dabolts decided to write about his favorite team, and did it at the best place he could find (an opposing team' site!) Over at MHR report, DaBolts fought the good fight. He did such a good job writing about his team that he earned the respect and friendship of all of us Broncos fans.

The dedication it takes to write about your own team at an adversary's site is telling. Not only was Dabolts writing solid, but it was presented to people who weren't fans of the Chargers. Nevertheless, Broncos fans enjoyed reading about one of their AFC West rivals, and it was common for MHR members to encourage DaBolts to get his own blog. Now it has happened, and MHR's loss is the gain of you Chargers fans. This is great for SBN, Chargers fans, and football blogging in general.

All of us over at MHR wish DaBolts the best, and encourage all of you to get involved in helping Bolts From The Blue become the second best football blog on SBN!

All the best,

Hoosierteacher (Associate Editior, MileHighReport.com)

I'm so excited, I've got wood.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I've not gotten to read DaBolts' stuff yet

But I’m glad the AFC West is complete.

I look forward to the give and take fans on this blog will have with us in the Raider Nation as well as the other fans in the AFC West.

I feel like we should be bringing hot bread or a house plant

by broncfanstuckinsd on Sep 9, 2008 3:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Remind me

How many wins the Broncos have against the Bolts in the last two years?

I think I’m safe.

Denver Donkos 43 52 1 .453 2010 2014

Hey look, if we outscore them by 4 we’ll finally have the edge against the Donkos somewhere.

Hmmmmm

struck a nerve did i? Well it took over 20 years for the Chargers to sweep Denver, but I wasnt talking about lat year I am talking about SUNDAY. Looks like your vaunted defense is going to be short handed now. I dont wanna hear any excuses when Denver wins the game. Like some of the excuses I have been hearing for losing to Carolina

Ok but same goes for you

People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

wont here

excuses out of me. If SD wins they win. I dont believe using excuses, it just a lame way of trying to deflect the loss

I will be the first to congratulate you, well maybe not the first. Cuz if they do lose I will be in the middle of a drunk, heck I will be in a drunk no matter who wins

broncfanstuckinsd is a great guy

Knows his football too. You know he puts up with a lot living here as a Bronco fan. Heh, I keep thinking I’m funny, but maybe I should leave that to Axion.

ok

rough day, no excuse.
Now tell me is the merriman issue bigger than what people are thinking? I heard today on the radio that AJ and company wanted him to have surgery in Feb when Rivers did?

by broncfanstuckinsd on Sep 10, 2008 10:27 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Merriman

going down is big, but the defense has some real talent as a unit. The backups look good, nowhere near Merriman’s level of play, but it is a still a talented unit. On the operation, I can’t know if it got worse between then and now, but it sure looks stupid on the surface of it. If he had the surgery then he would be coming back right in time for the end of the season/playoffs most likely.

what do think of

1090 saying the Chargers should resign Seau? I think thats a ratings ploy, cuz JR has been playing inside the past 3-4 years. The Cooper suspension could have happened at a better time most likely though, I mean next week Sd gets the NY Bretts and I think Sd will win that one quite easily

Did you see the Jets game on Sunday

They sucked. They need a Brett hail mary pass to win that game. Against the F***ing Dolphins. The Broncos and their turnstile run defense scare me more than fun loving Brett Favre and his dolphin slapping crew.
