Chargers Week 16 Injury Report & Site News

PrintI'm not going to go through the entire injury report until after practice tomorrow, but you'll all be happy to hear that everyone who is not on IR practiced today with the exception of Shawne Merriman (who is probably just getting an extra day to rest his foot on the short week). Jacques Cesaire (elbow) had "limited participation", which means he practiced but did not participate in team drills. Everyone who is not on IR should play on Friday night.
Site News
Since this week's game is two days early, the normal Friday routine of Game Preview in the morning and full Injury Report in the afternoon will be moved up to tomorrow.
I've always toyed with the idea of doing a weekly BFTB Podcast, but never wanted to do one by myself. Luckily, several of our writers have volunteered to partner up with me and try it out. Assuming the Chargers lock up the playoff bye, we can do at least 3 podcasts (Week 17, Wild Card weekend, first Chargers playoff game) before the season ends for the Bolts. I think the best method would be for each one to get a shot and then see if the rotation works, or if one pair becomes the favorite. However, I have no idea how to pick who goes first. So below, you guys will pick for me.

No Offense to Sam or Zach
… but Richard is an experienced media persona. Had to vote for him for the premier podcast, though I wouldn’t mind hearing all of you guys jabber at some point.
"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.

"Experienced media persona"
That made me chuckle.

Clearly what's happening is people want you analyzing the most important games
So they’re voting for Sam and Richard for the (hopefully) meaningless week 17 and wildcard weekends, leaving you to come in and dominate the Chargers’ playoff game podcast.
Sam and Richard are also the most likely of the group to berate the callers with horrible names.
I did mention there’d be callers, didn’t I? I hope they’ll be callers, anyways.

I’ll figure that out eventually. I’m still deciding where I want to host the damn thing.

Seems Norv is back tracking on Hardwicks start
It looks like we’ll see Dennis Norman
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/team/SD/all_tags/today
This?
Will C Nick Hardwick start Friday’s game? “I think that’s asking a lot,” Norv Turner said, “but if he were available, that would be good.” Dennis Norman apparently will start. Hardwick would be playing for the first time since the season opener.
I think that’s just Norv trying to temper expectations. I think Hardwick starts and the score determines how long he stays out there.

Nick has made it through two practices
which he hasn’t done yet in his comeback. So we’ve got that going for us… which is nice.

Which part of that statement makes you think he starts
The “I think that’s asking a lot” part, or the “IF he were available” part?
Maybe it was this
Coach Norv Turner said he’ll decide on Friday whether to start C Nick Hardwick, who practiced all week but hasn’t played since the season opener. “He held up good and moved pretty good,” Turner said.

Can we vote
on getting injury reports posted here?
Id like to be able to come here instead of Chargers.com
Sure thing
I’ll post them daily starting next week.

There may also be a fourth person in the mix in the coming weeks. Someone who is not a BFTB writer, but would certainly be welcomed as a co-host. I’ll let you guys in on it when it becomes more solid.

Haha
Maybe one day, but not who I was hinting at. The person I’m thinking of has never posted a single comment at BFTB.

Let's not do that
I’ve heard that Sam is nearly as quick to punch inanimate objects as I am, which means he’d certainly end up taking a swing at Wonko (who would undoubtedly duck the punch and say “I don’t understand why you’re so annoyed when you’re obviously wrong.”)

Hehe
Gordi will eventually be involved in some way. I’m actually waiting to see how he behaves himself as a caller (you know he’s calling in) before seeing if he can be a co-host. But no, it’s not him.

I've never heard any of these people speak.
We need tryouts. For instance, if ‘tec talks in the voice I imagine he does, I can’t handle too much of it.
Record yourselves and up it and prepare to be judge.

Two more

More than that seems messy. Especially when it’s not face-to-face and we can’t signal who wants to talk and when. Just my opinion.
