He's Baaaaaaack! AGates celebrates a 1st quarter TD. Philip and all the receiving corps played well. Yeah, the Dirty Birds are down this year, but I'll take a W over Appalachian State at this point. We rolled, just like the old days of 2004, 05, and 06. Reminiscent of days gone by, days that may soon return. The jury is still out on this team. But getting hot before the playoffs lately seems to be the key to getting to and winning the big dance. It can still be done. Although NE seems an insurmountable task now, how long till they fall? If not in the regular season, a stumble in the playoffs perhaps. As unlikely as it seems, Philly proved a team with heart and throw down the middle, the Pats can be had on an off day. Like we had last year against NE, an "off" quarter, season over. it can happen to NE, like it has Indy. We can exploit it. My faith is guarded. Let's see how the next few games go. I like being hot going into the playoffs, if it happens. It is better than the pressure of upholding a long streak going into it. So...on to the game.
Philip, ever so mobile, rolls out in the newly installed Charger Wishbone offense. Ok, but he is rolling out.
Hey Chargerites, Bolt Heads, POWDS! We won a game convincingly. Going away. Never in doubt. Been awhile since you heard those words, eh? Let's get these words back in describing Charger wins. Instead of, clung to, hanging on, etc.
Norv Turner smiled today, nuff said. To smile he had to shed some lizardy cracked skin and turn the frown upside down. Norv hopefully is molting into a new coach, brimming with confidence. It was fun to see. And I throw out mad props to Da Bears. Thanks Sexy Rexy. The 4th & goal was too cool and suspenseful. Thanks for taking out the Donks. Uh, and in an interdivision showdown I'm actually gonna say, thanks Raidahs. We could have had a glut of mediocrity atop the AFC West standings. Now one improving mediocre team stands alone. And it is the Chargers. Hallelujah!
When done at appropriate times, the sack dance is cool. Although like Chad Johnson, it's tired. And don't do it when your down by three scores with little time left in the 4th quarter. Merriman rocked it yesterday, with 7 tackles. A sack that forced Ravens QB Kyle Boeller to fumble in the 2nd quarter. It produced the 2nd best result, a FG. 12-7 Bolts. The defense put on mad pressure, and many hurries. Merriman streaked across the field to stop Baltimore RB McGahee 4 yds behind the line of scrimmage. An unofficial sack. Phillips preformed well also. A huge 1/2 sack (is that a scrotum with one testicle?) with assist from Ryon Bingham rocked Qualcom. Think Cromartie had an INT reversed by a questionable flag also. Jammer made his presence known.
Hot off the press, Kevin DuBrow (L) of Quiet Riot is found dead in his Las Vegas home this morning. Here pictured with the great future Ozzy guitarist Randy Rhoades(R), who himself was decapitated in some kind of alcohol induced low flying stunt. I must admit the album "Metal Health" with the Slade remake of "Cum On Feel The Noize" brought metal to mainstream and in 1983 metal was like hip hop is now. A little dangerous, ya never knew what a metal show had in store. I know for a fact, whether he is dead or not, DuBrow was a pompous ass. He put down many in the metal world when Quiet Riot was riding the wave. Calling his band "easily the best in the world", better than Zeppelin...blah, blah, blah. Doing the "pick out the green M & M's" type shit. RIP KDB. Hope you remembered those good times when your life flashed before your eyes. But that last frame of, "Thank you and goodnight Walla Walla!" from a 1/2 empty Sizzler w/a lounge must have been painful. And those awful Rick Jamesesque hair extensions you never paid for I hear. Thanks for one great album. And a moment in time I'll never forget. Even though it kind of ended with the theater marquee sign spelling, "Puppet Show & Quiet Riot".
KC, you ready?
More news. Tragically Redskins safety Sean Taylor has died from gunshot wounds received in his Miami home during an alleged robbery. Except it seems someone had broken in and left a knife on his bed kinda like a message eight days before. The mystery deepens.
Sean leaves behind a wife and baby daughter. Too sad. RIP Bad To The Bone. The sad is when I went to bed last night ESPN was saying he was responsive and the prognosis wasn't as grim. Life is a trip, but in the end, rich or poor, famous or not, we all is gonna die.
