LATEST STORIES FROM BOLT BEAT
The Dream Doubleheader…
A few of us on the Fan-Sided Blog network decided to ponder the best sports doubleheader…
During a regular season game, the San Diego Chargers record 12 sacks against Tom Brady, who will miss the remainder of the regular season with a broken uterus, and shut out the New England Patriots...
Kiel dies in car crash
Several news outlets including LATimes.com are reporting that former San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel was killed in a car accident Friday in San Diego.
The former Texas A&M star and second round pick in the '03 draft started just over 50 games for the Chargers. Personal...
The Commish Becomes 'Captain Obvious'
Several news outlets, including ESPN.com, quoted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell calling rookie salaries "ridiculous." Case in point being Jake Long's $30 million guaranteed before the kids sips water on the sideline.
Ridiculous you say? No guff, Chet.
Draft day darlings...
No Room For Parker?
The San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting that wide out Eric Parker will be traded or given an outright release by training camp.
What?
Sure, Parker missed all of last season. Yes, the Bolts have Chris Chambers now. I know, Mark Jones was signed. Nevertheless, this team has been thin...

BoltBeat BS'n
The perenial favorite and completely non-committal semi-weekly/semi-monthly article featuring a cavalcade of random Chargers tid-bits is back. Rejoice.
According to Chargers.com?
The Bolts added some veteran depth with the signing of center Jeremy Newberry, the ten year pro last seen...
Sweet Jumpin’ Jags Blog!
A big hearty and hefty hello to the newest member of the FanSided network over at BlackAndTeal.com, the all new blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jags did some big things last year in a real tough division. Look for them to do more of the same. This blog will be poppin' and...
Wild, Wobbly West
The San Diego Chargers were one game away from the Super Bowl and gave credence to an otherwise abysmal division. Truth be told, the Chargers beat up on the hobbled and/or inexperienced out west, and many a Bolt fan may be wondering how things will shape up in the AFC West come September...
Rivers’ Rants Revisited
If Philip Rivers didn't talk so much smack no one would be talking about him. The only press he gets is about his verbal mugging of other players, which begs the question: is it better to be liked by a few or disliked by everyone?
Philip Rivers is a top tier quarterback, but performance...
Lorenzo Neal and the Kingdom of the Glass Ceiling
I came across this article on Yahoo! Sports about Lorenzo Neal still being jobless heading into June. I don't know what's more remarkable, his lack of suitors or the Chargers letting him go in the first place. Sure, the man is on the back half of his thirties, but he's...
Welcome to San Diego, Antoine Cason
The San Diego Chargers have selected Antoine Cason, cornerback out of Arizona.
I like this pick. It was not a shocker, mostly automatic at this point.
The Bolts needed another standout corner alongside Antonio Cromartie. Cason is the type of guy that can step in right away. I don...
Cooper popped for banned stimulant
Chargers linebacker Stephen Cooper was suspended sans paycheck for the first four games of the 2008 season for violation of the leagues policy on steroids and related substances, according to the teams official website.
Cooper will be eligible to play as of week 5, that's October...
Hart Stays With Chargers
Strong safety Clinton Hart inked a new five-year contract this week according to Chargers.com. Hart will stay in San Diego through the 2012 season. Financial details weren't disclosed.
Looks to be a good move for the Bolts. Hart became a starter last season and earned it with...
Bolts Bail Over The Pond
On October 26th, 2008, the San Diego Chargers will combat the New Orleans Saints? in London.?It's considered an away game for the Bolts so the ticket holding faithful don't have to worry.
While I can dig on the NFL wanting to expand outside America, I don't want to see...
Favre Retires… Not For Long?
Brett Favre. The Brett Favre has announced his retirement. One of the best to ever play the game has hung 'em up. Said 'so long'. Walked away before he limped away… at least for now.
Before I dwell into a Favre-tastic tribute and get all misty, let me share a fun...

Shaun Phillips Speaks On Player Hating
Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips got on his blog horse about athletes being targeted by criminals and dealing with general thuggery (“Athletes under the gun”).
Phillips makes a few good points. We are seeing more and more athletes being the victim of a crime, such as...
Cromartie Ball In Honolulu
Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie had a damn good year. In case anyone missed his remarkable exploits, he kept on rolling into the Pro Bowl.
The AFC might have gone down to the NFC 42-30, but Cromartie did his thing- grabbing two deflected balls, returning one for 56 yards.
It...
The Giant Killers
Let me be selfish for a moment. I didn't know how to title this post. So many kitchy and catchy phrases flowed through my mind. I walked out of a friends house, beer infused, luckily having my glorious girlfriend driving, still befuddled- if anyone ever still knows what befuddled...
'Twas The Night Before Playoffs
'Twas The Night Before Playoffs
'Twas the night before playoffs, when all through Chargers Nation,
Not a single fan was looking past the Titans, you can feel the tension;
The shirts and jerseys were hung in the closet with care,
 In hopes that game time soon would be there...
The Three Seed Bowl
Beat the Oakland Raiders and the 3rd seed in the AFC Playoffs is locked, that's all the game was about.
The Chargers battled the Raiders in the last week of the NFL regular season, in hostile territory, and out of the box the game looked close. Operative word in the last sentence...
Chargers Topple The Titans
First half for the Chargers was ugly. Nasty. Terrible. If I can be given a line of artistic license, it was super-crap-tastic.
As any football fan will tell you it's not how you start, it's how you finish. The Chargers finished the game
In the first half of this Wild Card Playoff...
A.J. Gets A Payday
Although General Manager A.J. Smith was under contract through the 2009 season, the Chargers have given the sometime maligned front office honcho a 5-year extension. While financial terms weren't shared, some reports have the deal as up over $10 million.
The indelible Mr. Smith...
Just Another Mundane Monday…
After my last BoltBeat entry, honestly, I had a hard time getting hyped for the game. I thought it would be at least reasonably close. I figured that my pervasive prognosticating could get the mild mannered readership to tune in with hopes of a tight contest. As it turns out, it wasn...
