The Plan to Save the NFL

Posted: 27th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
As a fan of football (the NFL in general), I am growing increasingly distraught with its policies—the pay scale to be more specific. It's becoming impossible and a frustrating process to keep good players on any team. As a Charger fan I was happy to see Brandon Marshall move to Miami and out of the AFC West, however, with his huge signing, I'm pretty sure next year I will have to watch ...

The Kansas City Chiefs Are Legitimate Again

Posted: 27th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
As a diehard Charger fan, I keep a close eye on the other AFC west rival during the offseason. I have to say, my hat is off th the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason. I think the acquisition of Thomas Jones was huge. Sure, he's getting up in age, but, as a bruiser he will be productive for a few more years. With Jones, Jamal Charles, and the newly drafted Dexter ...

Raiders Get The Steal Of The Century with Jason Campbell

Posted: 27th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
Im a die hard Charger fan, and over the last 5 years I've viewed the Broncos as the team to beat. After this years draft, I have changed my mind. Wow, thats the best draft I think Ive ever seen the Raiders go through, and my hats off to you. The Broncos continue to move progressively backwards because of McDaniels. I think betting the farm on Tim Tebow was the most ...

What Is Rex Ryan Thinking?

Posted: 27th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
Alan Faneca has been released? Are you kidding me? Here is the latest in a series of questionable moves from Jets head coach Rex Ryan! It all started with the introduction of LaDainian Tomlinson, and this cancer has spread throughout the Jets organization like wildfire. Let's see, if I'm a head coach and I have the league's top rushing attack, I would try all I could to keep it intact. Ryan's response—trade ...

San Diego Chargers Begin the “California Kid” Era

Posted: 26th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
"I was ecstatic." That's what Ryan Matthews said when asked how he felt about being drafted by the Chargers. "I felt pretty sure I would be drafted by the Texans or Seahawks, so when the Chargers jumped up 16 spots to grab me I couldn't believe it," said Matthews. Honestly, neither could I, and just like Matthews, I was ecstatic and in shock. Just how good is this guy? I briefly read up ...

Vikings QB Brett Favre: The NFL’s Most Inconsiderate Man

Posted: 26th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
Is he staying or going? Alas we get to watch another Favre watch. With the combines, scouting reports, and draft all a thing of the past, we will be treated to another groundhog day by the attention seeking Favre. Dont get me wrong, I've liked Favre for years. He is charismatic, tough, and a winner. However, the last two offseasons, a word I am using to define him more often is ...

Chargers Should Make Their Move on Marshawn Lynch Right Now

Posted: 13th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
The Buffalo Bills recently reported to the NFL network and Adam Shefter that they are putting Marshawn Lynch on the trading blocks. That was kind of expected, but what wasn't expected was their asking price. They stated they would settle as low as a fifth round pick! With the Chargers blowing holes in their roster this offseason faster than a wild west marksman, we need some serious patching up. In my ...

LaDainian Tomlinson: The Chargers Strike Back

Posted: 11th April 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
LaDainian Tomlinson is at it again. Recently he went to the New York Daily news with another onslaught of criticism against the San Diego Chargers. He stated not only was the organization against him, but also, they built the team in an effort to make him fail. Wow, if I could just have a tenth of what you had in San Diego, my life would be a success! He further went on ...

San Diego Chargers: How They’ll Fill Their Holes

Posted: 27th March 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
Wow, its been an interesting offseason. We've sent a lot of Chargers heading in new directions this year. We've created some mighty big shoes to fill in this years draft. Honestly, we've presented ourselves with an akward array of needs. Not only do we need players, but we need them ready to start. There won't be much room to grow, with all of our trading and getting nobody to fill a ...
