Who the hell at ESPN thought that would be a good national broadcast?

Perhaps the consideration that a) we (raiders) have a widespread fan base, and b) there are at least 25 mentally ill persons in the country that like the Chargers, may have lead to it?

Well, they do have access to cable in most of the CA correctional facilities.

Wait until they become the Chula Vista Chargers! Their number will triple because the mentally ill fans' alternate personas will continue to support them. :)

Oh, and it could have been an experimental idea to see if the NFL could do what MLB does with Wednesday Night Baseball on ESPN (i.e.: Have an early game for the east coast and then a west coast game @ 2215 ET)?

Your second idea is most likely, IMO.
