KFFL - Article - Philip Rivers, QB, San Diego Chargers
In his prime, Rivers shouldn't drop off too much, if at all. We expect near 4,000 yards and 30 touchdown passes from him, which easily makes him a No. 1 fantasy quarterback.

Brandon Hughes checks in from symposium - Chargers.com
Arthur Hightower, the Chargers Player Development Director, has been meeting with the rookies since we arrived in San Diego a few weeks ago so this week is kind of a refresher course on a lot of the things we’ve already been talking about. It’s still a very positive experience getting to listen to a lot of different speakers.

It feels like we’ve covered every topic in the book. We’ve heard about everything from how the NFL Players Association functions to the dangers of drug abuse. We’ve sat through sessions on domestic violence, financial advising, dealing with the media and learning to say no to the people who reappear in your life when they find out you just became an NFL player.

Just going to throw this out there

My office is decorated with Padres and Chargers banners from division/league/conference championship banners. I have Padres 1996, 2005, 2006 division champions and 1998 league champions as well as the Chargers 1994 AFC champions and the 2004 and 2006 division champions. I have been looking and looking to get the Chargers 2007 Division champions (and now the 2008 one as well) pennant, but I can’t find any. Anyone know where I can get these so the people at work will stop bugging me about why they are missing?

Lockout

If the NFL wants to make radical changes to their current CBA then they will basically have no choice but to lock the players out. The NFLPA is not going give in to radical changes (which are most likely going to be at the players’ expense) by simply taking what the owners are giving.

The questions I have are:
Why do the owners want to risk losing a season and public support?
What is it they are so desperately missing that will require these radical changes?
And why do they think that the NFLPA can’t be convinced that these changes are for the betterment of the league?

If the answers to these questions are:
They are greedy.
Lots of money.
Less money for the players.

Then, yeah, a lockout is 100% guaranteed.
