Via The Big Dead Sidebar  |  May 11, 2012
The San Diego Chargers are entering a crucial season because they have not made the playoffs since the 2009 NFL season.  San Diego is fortunate that their 4-8 start to the 2008 season did not prevent them from making it to the postseason because their division rival Denver Broncos started that season at 7-5, but they choked.  San Diego was unable to overcome adversity in 2010 as...

Via Fox Sports San Diego  |  May 11, 2012
The Chargers are almost bucking tradition before the first offseason workouts start in earnest: their top picks have agreed to deals. For years the Chargers would square off with draft picks, most notably Philip Rivers in 2004 and Shawne Merriman in 2005, and see which side would blink first.
