Sorry for the vanity, but this victory was so sweet after so many years of truly dismal, at times heartbreaking play from the Chargers. They still need to take care of business against TB, the Browns, Indy, and KC, but it's been almost a decade since the last few games of a season mattered at all, hence the vanity. GO BOLTS!

Good. My brother called me from the rain before the game and he'll probably be calling tonight from the G-Spot. Go Chargers!

Is Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton still calling the games?

Their turn around has been amazing, going from the worst team in the league to apparent AFC West champs. They completed a 3-week 3-game sweep of their division rivals today. Not an easy task by any stretch, especially with 2 on the road. Denver is striking me as a "pretty" team that can't play well except in ideal conditions. They lose at home in a snow storm to a Northern California one week, and in wet conditions to a Southern Cal team the next. It's the Broncos who should thrive in these poor conditions.

I have a long standing love-hate relationship with the Chargers, dating back from the early 60's when they played their games in Balboa Stadium, right behind my high school.

For the past 40+ years, almost every time I let myself get seduced by the Chargers, I end up getting jerked around and broken hearted.

Maybe not this year.
They're looking rough and tumble.
Like winners.

Congratulations Chargers fans,

I'm a born and raised Donkey fan (from the John Ralston era).

All of this is fun to watch, but it won't matter latter in the season when they have to run through the Indianapolis Colts. That team is just plain scary on offense.

The Bolts should go 3 - 1 with that line-up, but Tampa Bay is surging and the KC game will be a touch-and-go affair.

Getting rid of David Boston was a smart move too. Did y'all here he got suspended for 4 games for steroid use? Of course he's out for this season already due to an injury. I'm sure the Dolphins are slapping their heads wondering what they were thinking in bringing him in.

I am a Cowboy fan, but I remember growing up watching Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow and Charlie Joiner. Boy those Chargers were fun to watch! Air Coryell. I think Dan Fouts, had he played on a consistent contender with a defense worthy of the name, might be remembered as one of the top five all time. That arm was strong!
