Can They Overcome All the Inconsistencies?
FLORHAM PARK–In an unusual move, Rex Ryan addressed the team this morning just following the stretching period, but before any of the practice started. The team was using its indoor field house, which is a cavernous space, and you could have heard a pin drop as everyone listened intently to what the head coach had to say.

Brett here is obviously a fan of the movie The Dark Knight and made it clear during Sunday Night Football where the San Diego Chargers took on the Baltimore Ravens. I’m sure Phillip Rivers appreciates your fandom Brett. Takeo Spikes’ neck may deserve it’s own zip code due to the fact that it is actually bigger than his head. Terrell Suggs also claimed he went to “Ball So...

Chargers to Bring "Big Boy Pads"
In a one-second gesture, Takeo Spikes summed up a 60-minute challenge.
The Chargers inside linebacker raised his right hand Friday, clenched it into a tight fist, and suddenly slammed and slammed his knuckles into an open left palm.
“AFC North,” Spikes said. “Always gonna pound the ball.”
