Open Thread: High Boltage Radio 12/17

by John Gennaro on Dec 17, 2011 9:40 AM PST in High Boltage Radio

Steve Adler and I are back on the air at XTRA Sports 1360AM for the final time this season and maybe the last time ever! We'll be on from 10am to 12pm PT, as per usual, and our last show will be filled to the brim with guests and general madness. Matthew Hall from the San Diego Union-Tribune will be joining us to talk about the Chargers' stadium situation, Doug Farrar from Shutdown Corner will be on to discuss the AFC West, Bruce Raffel from Baltimore Beatdown will help us preview the Chargers/Ravens game and Michael Gehlken will have his usual spot at 11:30 to give us the rundown of everything going on at Charger Park.

We're also working on getting a very special celebrity guest(!), and I'll be revealing what the much-hyped giveaways on BFTB will be for later this week. We're also giving away tickets to the Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium, so make sure you listen for your chance to call and win.

You can listen on 1360AM on your radio dial if you're in San Diego, stream it online here or listen with the iHeartRadio app on your smartphone of choice. Also, if you don't have a radio, you can simply click play on the XTRA Sports 1360AM widget right here:

We're taking your calls, tweets and comments as always. How to contact us:

Call: 570-1360. Any local area code (619, 858, 760) works.

Comment: Leave your comment below. I usually come by the thread during commercial breaks and will grab anything fun, funny or useful. At the end of the show I'll shout out to the people that have been commenting in the thread.

I used to think of Oliver as the turnover guy.

Oliver shouldn’t even be in the NFL

by thomaspowell on Dec 17, 2011 10:29 AM PST reply actions

Used to be, he was always around when the secondary got a turnover.

He would come in the game and then somebody gets an INT. I haven’t seen that in a long time, though.

Pass rush actually wasn't that bad

The one sack is a little deceiving. Don’t get me wrong one sack is NOT good enough but they had Fitzpatrick running for his life on almost every play.
