the silver & blue?
Opening day, what a feeling, nothing mo bettah. Except we lost. Beat ourselves and still almost pulled it out. Heartbreaker Robert Plant would wail! The momentum killer was midway through the 3rd quarter with the Bolts up 21-14. Shaun Phillips sacked Bledsoe, which would have brought on a 4th & 20 from the Dallas 10, solid right? Nope. Castillo roughed the passer...1st and 10. And they drove to the tying TD. Iam convinced this started all bad to come. Total exhilaration to crushed. I give mad props to Darren Sproles, averaging almost 37 yds per kickoff return in four tries, breaking one for 49 yds. Julius Jones ran on us. It didn't look so spectacular but it was huge, opening up recievers for Bledsoe in the 2nd half against our already suspect pass defense. Also a huge Jammer interception was called back due to too many men on the field! Total Pop Warner penalty, keystone coppish! 1st game jitters? Unacceptable attitude for a Charger fan to take. Our schedule is a minefield, this seemed to be one of the more winnable games. Iam discouraged but hopeful. Stats say we have won 5 of our last 7 opening road games. Denver will be our opponent, they took a beating in Miami, not good. Their revamped "Cleveland Browns" defense has more holes than Def Leppard's lead singers acid washed jeans! Jake "the Bake" Plummer is not the 2nd coming. Iam confident the Bolts can beat the Ponies in their stable, "Mile High Manure". KC is going to be tough. The Faders are not a factor. This journey has just begun, the ship will be righted. Brees was fairly solid, but with no Gates to throw to he depended perhaps too heavily on McCardell. Almost predictable, a Schottenhiemer trait at times. LaDanian did ok, but he didn't have alot of touches due to the Cowboy blitzing. On to the irrelavent. To answer some of the Sportsblogger Kings questions: YES, the Bills throwback unis are too cool. I'm a fan of white helmets, like the best throwback uni of all time. The Charger baybee blues and white helmets w/bolts and the cool yellow pants with the bolt down the leg...the BEST hands down. We should petition to wear those uni's full time! On another football fashion note, the coolest uni I have seen this season was Detroit in the tight black jerseys, they were pummeled in the final preseason game when I saw these. With my Dior sense of fashion I rank thses uni's the belle of the runway so far this season. Congrats to the Lions on doing in their nemisis the Cheesehead Nation! And also too Americas Team, the Saints...way to go guys...inspiring. Irrelavent PT. II The nerd stat of the day. Being in the NWest the Seahawks game was televised. The 1st football play I saw this season was Jax's Josh Scobee kicking to...Josh Scobee of the Hawks! What are the odds of that? And Scobee one kenobi fumbled! But was called down...good luck Hawks fans, prepare to be underwhelmed again. GO CHARGERS!!!

Shared the misery, dude. For most of my life, the Pats were a disgrace.
Is Castillo juicing again? If Nancy Drew Bledsoe makes you look bad, you deserve whatever happens to you.
Love the voice, btw... I'm guessing Cutty Sark and reefer?
