This is the year, my friends, that the Jack Murphy Chargers FINALLY get over the AFC hump, make it to the big dance, and we can stop with the Peyton Manning and Tom Brady slew of dumb-ass commercials for an entire off-season once and for all! Get some west coast up in here!
Coming off a disappointing 14-2 season, if there is such a thing, and getting bounced by the damn lucky Boston Patriots in the Charger yard was a fuckin’ nightmare. Now, with perennial loser Norv Turner at the helm am I worried? Hell no. This team will go on auto-pilot and win despite the lack of decent helmsman-ship. Need I remind you of a Dallas Cowboys team that won with a non-existent, pro-ball confused leader Barry Switzer as its coach?
Mr. LaDainian Tomlinson just took home four ESPY awards this week , including best male athlete -beating out Manning, Lebron James, Roger Federer, and Tiger Woods! -and there’s no signs of him letting down this year for the offense. Now, combine that with a defense that includes the best defensive player in the league in Shawne Merriman, and you’ve got a lethal combo. Mind you, Merriman led the league with 17 sacks despite missing four games in 2006 due to his diet suspension.
Charger fans will be heading down Interstate 8 to Phoenix on February 3, 2008 to see, up-close and personal, their team take home the Lombardi Trophy once and for all! I’m gassing up my load.
