We Just Cant Leaflet Here I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can’t remember the last time Chargers played an actual game. Last Sunday, our beloved Chargers had a bye week. And the week before, I think they flew to South Beach for a pre bye week soiree and a photo op with the Miami Dolphins to celebrate the 30th-ish Anniversary of the Greatest Playoff Game in NFL history. It would have been nice if someone told the Dolphins that it wasn’t a real game like the Chargers were lead to believe. Seriously, has a bye week ever come at a better/worse time? It would have been nice to go into a bye week with a win, a good game, a moral victory, ANYTHING but that shellacking. Let’s just all agree to shelf that nightmare and move on. There is one thing that can be said about the current state of the Chargers. AT LEAST WE AREN’T RAIDER FANS. Things don’t look very good for us Charger fans… at least to the casual observer with a pension for jumping on bandwagons. In reality, this is one of the best season at this point since the Ryan Leaf Society was created. Last year we were 4-5 on our way to 4-6 thanks to the Dolphins(fresh off the Incognito Incident). We had lost in dramatic fashion to the spectacularly horrible Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins. This season, we’ve beat all crappy teams. And there is a simple reason for it. There hasn’t been one or two injuries here and there. There has been massive genocides of entire position groups to the point of practice team back ups getting replaced by Craigslist help wanted respondents. I’m not trying to say that the last few weeks of Charger football haven’t been horrible experience. Actually, they have been because for the life of me I can’t actually remember the last time they actually played. It was about a month ago right. This might all be another sign of PTAJHGSD. We are all in recovery from the abusive relationship that was the AJ/Norv Era. And as the Secretary of Chuck Muncie Affairs, I’m here to tell you not only is it going to get better, IT IS BETTER. And if you are having problems with dealing with the situation, we are all here to help one and other. 0-37 is not 4th & 29. And in the end, AT LEAST WE AREN’T RAIDER FANS. The Bye Week helped in a lot of ways. For one, lots of our beloved Chargers will be playing today. Another thing the bye week provided was some perspective. Personally, I GOT to go to IKEA on Sunday. It’s next door to Jack Murphy Stadium so Sunday’s are usually a no go, but last week I GOT to stop watching NFL Redzone and pick up some Laks, Gruntals, and a view vases. Good times. I was a tad bit jealous that brother in law(lifelong Chicago Bears fan) had a ticket to the game at Lambeau Field. Jealousy was replaced with laughter by halftime though. Remember when there was a debate whether Jay Cutler or Phillip Rivers was winning the jerk to talent ratio contest. Sure, Phillip is yelling into the microphone in his helmet that doesn’t exist, lets just all admit that things are looking much better in San Diego than Chicago. The major problem we, the dedicated Charger fan base, have is that the Chargers have no business ever being ranked as a top 5 team by the football intelligencia. The bandwagon needs the ranking, we and most importantly our beloved Chargers don’t. It would be nice to be a Patriots fan. Remember a few weeks back when their season/dynasty was over. That lasted a week for the general public. The Patriot fan base didn’t think it was over because they have the Hoodie even if Tom Brady has no more gas in the tank. It makes thing totally different. Doesn’t it. The Colts were perennial playoff contenders until they had to give the rock to whoever(Jim Sorgi?) was holding the clipboard for Peyton when his neck got hurt. Did you see the video last week when Peyton’s new Jim Sorgi thought he was going in because they were beating the Raiders enough. The Mighty Forehead knows they could lose. Don’t worry Brock, there are a lot of guys that wish they had your clipboard holding job. https://youtube/watch?v=oSgAMUp1HfI And since we are on the subject of Brady and the Mighty Forehead. This Sunday, the Hoodie Tree of NFL Dominance opens a new chapter. Former Brady Back Ups Ryan Mallet(Texans) and Brian Hoyer(Browns) will be facing each other as starters. The only thing the Jim Sorgi’s of the world will ever get is a manager job at one of Peyton’s Colorado Papa John’s Pizza franchises. Maybe. What was my point about all this? Oh yeah! Us lucky few special dedicated souls that love our sports franchises no matter what, and heavy on the what, don’t have the luxury of total dominance year after year. The Raiders have all those Super Bowls they annoyingly keep bringing up. We have lots of “almost” and Ryan Leaf. We also have a whole lot of awesome season of high anxiety and crazy finishing runs. Our beloved Chargers have consistently made our time paying attention worth it. At least in my book. In all honesty, today’s game totally freaks me out. The Raiders are chasing destiny and recovery from their existence with Al Davis. Being the third team in NFL history to have a perfect losing record is hard to do. The Chargers may have a lot of starters coming back on defense, which will make the pass rush more effective than relying on the back ups’ back up and senior citizen Dwight Freeney, but they were present a good match up. And there is only one thing worse than having the worse record in the NFL. And that is losing to the team with the worst record in the NFL. The chances are slim but, the Chargers have consistently put themselves into dire situations over the last few years at this point in the season. It’s like they are destined to make us anxious till the bitter end. I will leave you with a funny story about what is possibly the source of all the Chargers problems since the glorious Jets win. A very good friend and devoted Charger fan lives on the East Coast. As some of you are aware, it’s not very often that Charger games are shown out there on regular television. So you have to go to sports bars to watch the game. So not only is she good looking, as are all the people that went to Francis Parker, but she rolls in decked out in Charger gear from head to toe. She struck up that bond by fandom with a smooth talking gentleman and his friends during the Seattle game. (Remember that awesomeness) He happened to be Eddie Royal’s dad. They agreed to watch the game together the next week. Eddie went off with two TDs that game and the next. Eddie’s dad also started asking her out on non Charger type dates. Eddie got hurt when she said no. Eddie’s dad is persistent and my friend is polite and apparently not got the point across. From the perspective of the Secretary of Chuck Muncie Affairs, it’s obvious what has to happen here. My friend has to take one for the team. Eddie Royal’s dad is the slump buster. I’m sure you all agree. It’s a small price to pay to stop these losses. youtu.be/9z16_XOTk_I
