Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Serious Business: 1/20 Chargers Links

This has nothing to do with football, but it's awesome.
That is all.

Vasquez named to PFW All-Rookie Team
As a rookie, he started 14 games at right guard, missing only Weeks 2 and 3 due to a knee injury, and the Texas Tech alum played well enough to earn All-Rookie honors from Pro Football Weekly. The publication lists the top rookie at each position on its squad, and Vasquez joined Buffalo’s Andy Levitre as the top guards.

Rivers was the 3rd most valuable quarterback. Vincent Jackson was the 2nd most valuable receiver. LaDainian Tomlinson was the least valuable runningback.

What S.D. must do to stay a contender - AFC West Blog - ESPN
The Chargers will be fine. All they need to do is stay the course. This is not an instance where a team needs to be blown up.

Report: Ralph Wilson nixed potential return of Martyball | ProFootballTalk.com
Tim Graham of ESPN reports that Marty Schottenheimer "badly" wanted the Bills coaching job, but Wilson was never on board.

When it comes to playoff kicking, pressure is bursting pipes - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports
It's not just Kaeding, field goal kicking across the board has been abysmal in the 2009 playoffs.

I knew it. One bad playoff game and they’re back to using sarcasm whenever they speak about Norv.

Also, they say that Rivers was great in the first half and abysmal in the second half….but offer no reason for it. Did they just want to show off their stats?

That's what quick reads is.

They show you what stats the different players put up over the weekend. Explanations usually aren’t offered.

haven’t seen this mentioned on BFTB yet… VJ gets Rivers to pick up him up from jail hours before the game.

even less cool.

Forgive me for being a downer. I’m still recovering from Cromartie’s lack of effort, not to mention Weddle’s missed tackle, on the Shonn Greene TD run.

He was put in cuffs

not arrested. I’ve had my whip towed for driving with a suspended license.

Yeah

It was mentioned in last night’s podcast, but I didn’t think it was worth any sort of post. The guy wasn’t drunk, wasn’t out late and his only real crime is being careless and liking loud music. I’m sure there are a ton of NFL players that listen to their music loud with expired tags.

Expired tags is considerably different from a suspended license… nothing but stupidity that he’s behind the wheel. He certainly has the cash for a cab.

by Leukadian on Jan 20, 2010 7:46 AM PST up reply actions  

He was ticketed for both

I agree dude should of called a cab but on any given day there’s hundreds of people packing your local traffic court trying to resolve the same types of issues. Let’s not pretend this is anything more than some dude who got a ticket on his way to work.

effing people with expired tags

My commute is 10 minutes. I see expired tags every time I’m on the road. We have a budget crisis in California, people, pay your damn fees.

Note to December ‘09 registrants: I will start reporting you to the CHP in 12 days. You’ve had a month. Time’s up.

Is it possible

That his tags were expired because without a license he couldn’t renew them?

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.

point is

driving on a suspended license due to 2 DUIs is continued bad judgement, which ism ore than some due who got a ticket on his way to work. I doubt he’d have gotten away with a citation if he wasn’t VJ and there wasn’t a game that day — cop must’ve been a Charger fan. I don’t mean to make a Federal case out of it… maybe County, but not Federal.

I fully agree expired tags are barely worth mentioning.

by Leukadian on Jan 20, 2010 12:31 PM PST up reply actions  

It is bad judgement

But I’ve known people with suspended licenses and I’ve yet to meet one that didn’t drive while it was suspended. It’s some sort of American entitlement thing or something. Subconsciously a lot of people believe that driving a car is a right protected by the Constitution. I’m exaggerating, but only a little.

plus why is he gonna stop driving

he can’t afford to pay for a driver until next season when he really gets paid.

by Gorditoe1 on Jan 20, 2010 6:21 PM PST up reply actions  

I've also know people who drove with a suspended license

And I had to bail them out of jail when they got pulled over.

by Leukadian on Jan 21, 2010 12:22 PM PST up reply actions  

The facts that we know to be true

Point to his license being suspended for something other than DUI. Be carefully when making assumptions.

by Natrone Bomb on Jan 20, 2010 2:23 PM PST via mobile up reply actions  

I recall seeing Weddle being attended to on the sidelines earlier in the game. Might very well not have been 100%. Still, that tackle needed to be made.

Marketing opportunity

A fan is a fan – looks like an opportunity for the Chargers to start selling Kibble!

Since this is sort of a hodge podge of Charger-related stuff

I was checking out the “buzz” from the East-West Shrine Bowl and noticed that Marty Schottenheimer is coaching one of the teams. Not only that, but two of his assistant coaches are Keenan McCardell and Marlon McCree. It’s good to see Marty giving some of his old players a chance to work with the youngsters and pad their resumes for future NFL jobs.
