Print- Chargers open camp without RB Mathews | Yahoo! Sports
The Chargers rarely have their top draft pick signed by the time rookies report, and Mathews is no exception. - Some key vets join the rookies | SignOnSanDiego.com
The first three days of this week -- call it pre-training camp -- are mostly about the rookies getting re-acquainted with practice structure, terminology, coaches and what's expected of them. - Peter King: Philip Rivers optimistic about Chargers chances in 2010 | SI.com
It is great to be back. The World Cup was terrific, my brother's death a punch in the jaw that still hurts, my vacation was needed but a little ... empty. Today is the start of football season for me, and it's a great feeling because this is as wide-open a season entering training camp as I can remember. - Photos from Camp: July 26 | Chargers Blogs
A cool, cloudy day at Chargers Park greeted the 42 rookies, young veterans and players returning from injury Monday as training camp began. - Chargers tickets on sale Saturday | Chargers.com
Tickets to each of the team’s eight regular-season home games go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 31. - Tim Sullivan: Naanee has grasp of big opportunity | SignOnSanDiego.com
Like any experienced wide receiver, Legedu Naanee has learned how to keep his distance.
- Coaches plot ways to maximize Castillo’s pass-rushing ability (w/ Video) | SignOnSanDiego.com
Chargers coaches have some ideas to help defensive end Luis Castillo be more productive, including using their other defensive line personnel in ways that might allow Castillo to do what he does best. - Ready to emerge | Chargers.com
If Legedu Naanee were a public company, all the insiders would be urging investors to buy. The fourth-year receiver seems poised to start the year with a bigger role in the offense. - Stuck on Stuckey | SignOnSanDiego.com
Character counts for rookie safety, a prominent figure in defensive plans - NFL pre-camp previews: AFC West | FOX Sports
Forget holdouts Marcus McNeill and Vincent Jackson for a moment. Is rookie Ryan Mathews ready to be Mr. Everything in Year One? - Back to football | Chargers.com
Start the countdown. Nineteen days before their first preseason game, the Chargers entered training camp full of optimism. - Chargers open camp practices | SignOnSanDiego.com
After closing nearly all of training camp last year to the public due to construction at their Murphy Canyon facility, the Chargers will welcome fans back to Chargers Park in August for nine practices. - Chainsaw: In the Sports World (7/27) | 619Sports
Dallas Cowboys rookie receiver Dez Bryant refused to carry the pads for veteran Roy Williams during training camp. This Ryan Leaf-style refusal to honor a harmless ritual will only invite harsher hazing. Bad move, Dez. Now, if Bryant was ordered to carry pads for a WNBA player; that would be different (admittedly, I’ve run a few of those errands for the wife). - Interview With Donny Moore, Madden 11 Player Ratings Czar | SportsGrid
Donny Moore has one of the coolest jobs on the planet. As one of Madden 11’s developers, he is essentially in charge of compiling ratings for the game’s 2000+ players. Lately, the annual release of the ratings has become an event unto itself, and the increased attention has led to more pressure on Moore to get things right. - Expanded Season Revenue: The NFL's Real Math Problem | Residual Prolixity
This question is an important one because, if the regular season is expanded, the players would see a reasonable increase in their real workload, one for which they would expect to be compensated. The first blush answer is that they'd be getting 19 paychecks instead of 17. As former Buccaneers defensive end Steve White pointed out, though, this is nonsense: the 19 paychecks instead of 17 is an accounting fiction. A similar argument would be if you went from being paid once a month to twice a month: you'd be getting more checks, but the same amount of money. The only way the players get more money if they're paid 19 times instead of 17 times is if the two additional games actually make more money. So, do they?

The Chargers rarely have their top draft pick signed by the time rookies report, and Mathews is no exception.
Why does it have to be a Chargers thing? That makes it sound so negative. Mathews is one of 31 unsigned first-round draft picks. The only one signed thus far is Dez Bryant (who was picked 12 spots after Mathews). What would’ve made more sense is:
“Most teams don’t have their top draft pick signed as rookies report, and Mathews is no exception.”

The two Chargers 1st round picks that made it to camp on time:
Sammy and Buster Davis.
I’m okay with him being late.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Maybe we should just not draft people with the last name of Davis.
Or Leaf.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Maybe...
Since the article is about the chargers, he didn’t want to say “the NFL” just kept it at the chargers.

There shouldnt even be this article, considering 30 other teams are in the same boat

I read the caption. I’m not sure anyone else did.

What's the point of writing captions, if no one's going to read them?
Sheesh, people.
