Kaeding's Gone Where He Can't Hear the Boos
No, I’m not talking about Kaeding’s Wikipedia entry that was altered to say he attempted suicide. I’m talking about this animated GIF here. Look at that stare. That’s the look of a man who’s far, far away from the boos that will rain down on him forever more. I know that look. I’ve seen it before. [...]

Nate Kaeding Out for the Year with Torn ACL: Chargers in Need of a Kicker
Nate Kaeding was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the regular season with the injury. This means that the Chargers are now in the running for a new kicker. Tough blow for the special teams for the Chargers as Kaeding is one of the best kickers in the league.

Updated player rankings: Kickers
1. Nate Kaeding, San Diego: Kaeding finished just 14th in fantasy scoring among kickers last season, as the Chargers offense provided him seven fewer field goal opportunities and 11 fewer extra point tries. But he was the top fantasy kicker in 2009, and there’s no reason to think San Diego’s offense won’t bounce back.
