They all have one fewer touchdown than AP or Jimmy Graham? :awe:
Not a tonne. Had an amazing gambling week last week so I'm playing with house money anyway. Actually have had an excellent gambling year so far (we'll see what happens with my year-long wagers); too bad all of my fantasy teams suck. 🙁

I went to the DEN @ SD game last weekend. Was a fun game to watch and that 80 Yard TD JT scored on was awesome!
I didn't think it was normal but almost 3/4s of the stadium was full of Broncos fans. One of the SD fans here at work says the SD fans dont like going to DEN or OAK games because the opposing fans are obnoxious. So why don't MORE SD fans show up and limit how man DEN/OAK fans get in? lol
When DEN was on D, you could here the whole stadium chant Defense with the PA system attempting to drown them out LOL!

Californians, and especially southern Californians, are flaky. It is their nature. I honestly think California deserves no sports franchises because what has become the majority fan base seems to be utterly flaky....especially the LA area.
Now, some franchises are immune--Niners have too much history, ditto the Lakers, even though their fanbase is flaky.
Raiders/A's don't have flaky fans, so they are outliers. Every other franchise in the state should just pack up and leave. Yes--even the Giants!

ACtually I didn't find it to be that bad and thought it was better then Sun Devil Stadium (where the Cardinals used to play). Although it was surprising to me they gave up so much real estate behind the benches.

SD would be lucky to even get 50% Charger fans in their stadium against any team IMO..

I wasn't aware SD even had fans. If so, they all just forgot to switch teams when LaDainian Tomlinson left.

Have you been to Oakland? I've only been there for A's games, but it is easily the worst pro stadium I have been to.
...and considering that it is some ~40 years younger than a place like Wrigley, that is sad.

Living in CA I can confirm this. I hate almost all LA fans due to their bandwagon'ing. A's/Raiders fans are in it for life. I'll even admit there are a lot of flaky SF fans, no where near the amount LA has. There's a very good reason LA hasn't had a football team in what, 20 years now? There's no loyalty for teams unless you are always winning.Californians, and especially southern Californians, are flaky. It is their nature.

Sad when Candlestick makes O.co seem like a luxury stadium.

I haven't been to Oakland's stadium, but I've seen it on TV. This is 2013, there is no reason you have a baseball diamond in the middle of your football field... However, Pryor does look like he is going for an in the park homerun every time he gets a little pressure though. Maybe he thinks he is playing baseball?
Exactly! Rivers is probably the only reason why I watch Chargers games.
Never cared for LT, never will.
Top 10 QB? Yes.

I completely agree, especially being a Cardinals fan. I swear there is only like 10 of us dumb enough to call ourselves Fans who've stuck with them. Anyone who can't name someone off of the 98 Playoff team, except for Jake Plummer, isn't a fan IMO lol.

I would not rank him very high on my NFL douchebag list. Which is weird because I think QB's in general are crybaby jerkoffs who suckled too long.
Eli is def up there. I think Peyton would probably be above rivers on my douchebag list.

If nothing else, Peyton rates for his comments about his "idiot kicker" and "I'm trying to be a good teammate here, let's just say there were some issues with protection" blaming of his offensive line for poor performance.
Tom Brady cries more than any player I've seen. I'll give you that on Rivers, though.

I always liked LT. love the guy, actually. That was a fun team
I can see the douchebaggery now. But being that he gave my school some of the best years of football they ever saw (since Roman or Brown), and likely ever will see, I was always happy that he was our douchebag.
The rage he inspired in the fucksticks at UNC brings back good memories.
