First post!!!
Thanks to who ever emailed me the link to this site at broadbandreports.com.

well I'm a redskins fan in san diego. The chargers fans are dealing with much more than the lack of talent on the roster.

for the last few years, the chargers have had a deal with the city of san diego. the deal was that all san diego charger home games would be sell outs, meaning, the city of san diego bought all unsold tickets for each game.

when the city agreed to the deal, the chargers were playoff contenders. now, some people in city hall feel that Mr. Spanos(owner of the bolts) is putting together a terrible team so that the city will allow them to move to another city(LA). The chargers have actually filed a lawsuit to get out of the contract with the city.

over the summer, they restructured the contract. now the city doesnt have to pay for tickets and the chargers may(up to vote i believe) get a new stadium.

another problem chargers fans have is that Mr. spanos feels he needs to teach the players a lesson with contract negotiations every year. this guy is turning into marge schott.

the most visible problem chargers fans have is the head coach. marty is a motivator not a football coach. he is lost when it comes down to the X's and O's of the game. when he was with the redskins, it discusted me to watch him pull an AXIOM out of his ass every interview. lets not forget the schottenheimer family reunion on the side lines.

But things are looking up for bolts fans.
they signed LT to a long term contract.
Mr. Spanos has to field a winner to put people in the seats to make money now.
and they should have a great draft next year.

they really have some solid young players. if they get a good coaching system and a couple of game breakers(a solid WR), they could be pretty good in the next couple of years.
