Chargers front office apologizes after word of them offering Kansas City Chiefs fans discounted ticket when the division rivals play Nov. 1.
Many San Diego fans were infuriated to hear news of there own Chargers inviting their division rival fans into their stadium with open arms.
Even worse, giving them a discount to do so? That's right, the email included an offer to attend the game for $10 off regular price.
Team President A.G Spanos called the plan to increase ticket sales 'disappointing'. Said Spanos, "It's disappointing because we've been so aggressive this year trying to sell to new Chargers fans. We hired 18 new people. We're launching a season-ticket holder referral program, where season ticket holders will be able to get rewards if they refer a new Chargers season-ticket holder customer"
Though Spanos and the Chargers organization (as well as all of the NFL organizations) do face a very serious problem as far as selling ticket...

To say Brady Quinn's N.F.L. career has been a bust would be a misstatement. Don't get me wrong — Quinn couldn't toss a football to an open receiver if Tim Tebow prayed for Jesus himself to guide them. The Chiefs' third-string slinger can't be labeled a bust because, un-like fellow 2007 Draft class member & Purple-Drank aficionado JaMarcus Russell, there...
