Chargers linebacker Antwan Barnes has been ejected against the Oakland Raiders following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Officials whistled Barnes for the penalty following a 27-yard run by Louis Murphy in the first quarter Sunday. The 8-yard penalty gave Oakland the ball at San Diego’s 7-yard line, leading to a Raiders touchdown. Barnes, who was leading the Chargers with 11 sacks this season, took off his helmet and was yelling back at officials on the field following his ejection. It was not immediately clear exactly why Barnes was ejected.

NFL Black Monday: Fire Norv Turner!

Although Turner has had moderate success in San Diego, after a dissatisfying 2011, the Chargers should realize now that Norv Turner is no longer the man who will win the franchise’s first Super Bowl.

Chargers end Raiders' season, 38-26

While their late-season surge was not enough to get them to the playoffs, the Chargers at least had the satisfaction of ending Oakland's season with a 38-26 win on the road.

Chargers Leaning Towards Keeping GM A.J. Smith?

Though no decision has been made, or at least announced, a source familiar with the thinking of Chargers president Dean Spanos said Sunday that Spanos is leaning toward retaining general manager A.J. Smith. The Chargers failed to reach the playoffs for the second straight year this season, finishing with an 8-8 record by defeating the Oakland Raiders 38-26 on Sunday. Multiple team...

It’s Spanos’ decision, and so far we’re not privy to his reasons

The Chargers are not a democracy, but a dictatorship. You don’t have a vote. I don’t have a vote. Philip Rivers doesn’t have a vote. Chuck Norris has a vote, but he chooses to abstain.

Report: Norv Turner “all but certain” to be fired this week

Chargers coach Norv Turner, as MDS pointed out earlier this morning, still enjoys the support of his players.  But Norv’s players don’t make the hiring and firing decisions, even though their collective performance is likely getting the current guy fired and a new one hired.
