Hey, Chiefs! Who Do You Think You Are?
So, Kansas City Chiefs, you give up 12 points in the last 73 seconds and try to take the title of best choke artists this year? Who do you think you are? Stellar choke jobs and last minute losses were all we had going, the few things San Diego has done brilliantly this season. But you just ...
Chargers Have A Pulse
Yes, the Bolts have a pulse. While their victor over the hapless Raiders wasn't pulse-pounding, it was a great win at home, sorely needed. Going into Thursday only a game separated these stalwart adversaries (or lame duck underachievers, depending who you ask) but on Thursday the...
So Long, San Diego
Well, I won't say it hasn't been fun. Because it hasn't. The loss to Atlanta gave San Diego its third consecutive loss. They are three games behind Denver with four to go. Is there a slim chance? Sure. Denver loses out, Chargers win out and make it to the playoffs at 8...
Bolts Should Be Done
The Chargers should be out of it. Done. They're not. Technically, at least. Forget the Wild Card. It's the division or bust. Being only two games out of the lead with six games to go, anything could happen. If this sounds like a broken record, it is. It seems week after week...
Remember Craig Davis?
Wide receiver Craig Davis has been put in the injured reserve list due to a groin injury, thus ending his 2008 season. Davis and his unenviable 59 total yards might be gone, but they're assuredly soon-to-be-forgotten. I wouldn't blame Davis. He missed plenty of games this year...
Living On The Edge
The bye week was best-case scenario. Rest of the division lost. Time to capitalize against the Chiefs. Long game. They caught up. The Chiefs are going for two. Is this Denver all over again? Carolina? Are the Chargers this bad? Is the season over already? Tyler Thigpen drops backa?? and the ...

NFL.com is reporting that referee Ed Hochuli will be graded down for his botched call on Sunday. The ref admitted he made an error, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello had this to say:

Bolts Shocked In Opener
Waiting through the offseason for a game like yesterdays is tantamount to going to Disneyland, standing hours in line for Pirates of the Caribbean, then at the end of the ride one of the animatronic pirates kicks you in the nuggets.

Chargers Lose Game, Rams Lose Fans
The St. Louis Rams beat the San Diego Chargers 7-6 in a really stellar? wait, who am I kidding? If you can believe it, the score doesn't even touch how pathetically unwatchable the game was. Luckily plenty of Rams fans missed it, being the lowest attendance for a homegame since...

As the epic showman 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair said often, "To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat The Man."
Every power ranking out there won't give the Giants top 3 consideration. While this power ranking will abide by that philosophy, I find it odd that the Super Bowl champ...
Castillo Gets Paid
The defensive end Luis Castillo has a fatter wallet. His contract was extended five years with a guaranteed payday of $18, with a potential payday upward of $40 million. Good times.
Like to see the Bolts make it rain on the other side of the ball.
While he's missed six games the...
