The Bolts are giving themselves just enough rope to hang themselves and our stadium hopes. The Chargers are fucking up their most important season ever and it hasn’t even begun! After 38 years in this city, I honestly wonder if the Chargers will ever do anything right or contend for another Super Bowl in my lifetime / in this city. They were so bad last year, they got the #3 overall pick. Awesome right? Not really… If you’re a true Bolts fan, then you knew this was coming. They did it with Rivers last time they drafted in the top 5.They did it with Tomlinson who missed most of his Rookie camp in 2001.They suspended Antonio Gates for 1 game in 2005 where we lost that home opener by 4 in a home game the Chargers were favored to win and ended up missing the playoffs by 1 game that year. They did it to VJAX also which cost us the playoffs in 2011.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW STUPID THIS IS?
“On the surface, there’s little to discuss. Relying on team precedent, the Chargers remain dug in on the position that Bosa’s contract must include offset language and defer a major chunk of the signing bonus into 2017. Relying on precedent as to the top picks in the draft since 2012, Bosa’s camp wants either no offset language on the guarantee or full payment of the signing bonus in 2016.” – PFT
So the Chargers have made this BFD(Big Fucking Deal) over the offset language bullshit but Bosa has been willing to accept that IF the Chargers pay the kid all of the money he’s due instead of breaking it up in two payments separated by 9 months. This has got to be the worst fucking decision the Chargers have made since announcing their alliance with the Raiders to move out of America’s Finest City.
SPANOS FAMILY – WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? Figure it the fuck out! Stop putting on your “Bad Idea Pants” everyday and pay the kid like every other NFL team has done already you dumbasses! GAWD, you’re awful!
Can’t we all just get along! Just pay the kid so he can play football and help this team you jerks!
This is the first draft I have really liked since we got Shawne Merriman and co. There was a lot of underlying strategy to this draft from drafting Bosa’s teammate, Joshua Perry to drafting the 2015 MAC Defensive Player of the Year who was also a three time first-team All-MAC selection in order to bolster our LB depth. DEEP… finally! Let’s just hope we can make it through the pre-season healthy.
In addition to the Defensive additions, I like the fact that we brought in an NFL pedigree FB in Derek Watt who was Melvin Gordon’s teammate and lead blocker in college. Oh yeah, he’s JJ Watt’s brother and they will face each other this year. We also brought in a BIG offensive lineman in the 7th round, Donovan Clark. We also drafted the best TE in this year’s draft who didn’t drop a pass last year… that probably means he’ll drop several crucial passes for us this year if you believe in the “San Diego curse” which is essentially; “We have beautiful weather, great people, and awesome beer so our sports teams are doomed to ultimately fail because we can’t have everything and other cities are not blessed with our amenities so the fairness gods throw them a bone and let them have some trophies.” San Diegans ultimately come out on top in the long run even though we are usually heartbroken until the next wave of sunshine and swells come through.
30 Deep Line because the Craft Beer at Toyota Terrace 100 feet away has been removed for some stupid reason.
Forget the facts that the Padres lost on Opening Day again and didn’t score a run in the opening home stand of 2016. Let’s focus on what the Padres organization CAN control such as staffing concession stands and making San Diego’s AMAZING BEER readily available and flowing like the wines of Capistrano!
PETCO Park used to have an amazing Craft Beer selection available on the Toyota Terrace and one of my favorite spots to grab some sun and baseball, but they took all of the taps out for some inexplicable reason! To make matters worse, the Craft Beer stations that were open had line like this because they were staffed by one or two people. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PADRES!
1 Register Open / Line is 30 Deep (1 Guy to collect money + another to pour beer = efficiency… #SMH)
Look Padres, take your “Bad Idea Pants” off and run your ideas through the common sense analyzer please. From charging to go out on the Porch to removing the craft beer taps from Toyota Terrace, Padres front office is just making bad moves. I actually had to go to the head of security last year to have them tell my section’s security that standing and cheering was “allowed”. It’s just a real shame to see the way Petco is run because the experience could be sooo much better with some more planning and better logistics.
Charger Eric Weddle watched from the sidelines during their recent game against the Miami Dolphins at Qualcomm Stadium. — Nelvin C. Cepeda
In unsurprising news, the Chargers’ front man, Mr. Bad Idea Pants has allowed another Charger great to finish his career with another team. Just like Junior Seau, Donnie Edwards, Rodney Harrison, Drew Brees, Darren Sproles, and more… “Better to get rid of a guy a year too early than a year too late.”
What if that extra year was the Super Bowl?
Either way, Weddle is gone and the only consistent factor that made the Chargers D average is now gone. Weddle led the team in tackles for the past decade… which is NOT a good thing you realize because he is a Free Safety.
All in all the Chargers organization is rotten from the top down. If the Chargers paid someone on their staff to come up with bad ideas everyday, that person could not even compete with the amount of bad ideas coming out of the front office brain trust. He would throw up his hands and tell them that he cannot compete with the sheer volume and intensity of their bad ideas.
Hindsight is 20/20 but San Diego and everyone else outside of the Spanos family can already see the writing on the wall; The Spanos family’s legacy in San Diego is ruined forever. The Spanos family was already on thin ice with its fanbase after years of antagonizing behavior through former GM, AJ Smith. This family just cannot get out of its own way and could probably pay someone to come up with really bad ideas and not even come close to matching these boneheads!
The Chargers are known nationally for one thing in modern history… diarrheaing all over themselves on a national stage weather it be the playoffs, a game to get in to the playoffs, the AFC Championship, the Super Bowl, or the LA Stadium Sweepstakes! These freaking idots fired the two best coaches they’ve ever had and one who is a hall-of-famer in Marty Schottenheimer. I’ll give the Spanos family credit for hiring Marty… he kicked their ass so often, they decided to hire him… until they fired him after the Chargers’ best regular season in history because a player intercepted the ball and then fumbled it…. idiot. I digress.
The Spanos family’s legacy is ruined forever. Not only did they run a beloved head coach out of town and back his nemesis who drafted Larry Fucking English(Bust) and “Bust”er Davis, but they hired Norv “Sucks a Head Coach” Turner to replace him. They passed on Troy Polamalu and AG Spanos went to fucking USC with him! These guys suck just based on the fact that they whiffed on every good USC player coming out from Pete Carrol’s program because AG is goddamned alumni! He owns an NFL team but doesn’t watch his own college team play football? Maybe if John had gone to USC, we would’ve drafted Troy, or Clay, or Brian, or Justice or never mind. Spanos is synonymous with sucks!
Fast forward to 2015/16 when these fucking rim jobs announced that they are building a stadium in Carson(Nuclear Waste Dump). These jerkoffs spent millions of dollars planning to move OUR team to LA. Like I said, you couldn’t pay someone to come up with bad ideas that come out this fast and this bad. This family actually tried to bamboozle the nation in to thinking LA gives a shit about their franchise. The hubris is probably the most annoying thing about this but it all came full circle last week when NFL owners told the Chargers to go pound San Diego Beach Sand. It was the Spanos family/Chargers diarrheaing all over themselves again on a national stage for all to see. In my personal opinion, it was a thing of beauty. Think about it for a second… What message does the NFL send to the nation if they let these knuckleheads hi-jack a civic treasure from a city that loves it and has actively fought to keep it? It says, “If you don’t build a stadium; then you lose your team.” and that is not the precedent that the NFL owners wanted to set for themselves.
Again, it was clear to everyone outside of the Spanos family but these jerks still won’t talk to the city and open negotiations. The mayor called Spanos personally and didn’t even get a return call. Look assholes, Kronkeworld won’t even open until 2019. Are you going to play in the Coliseum? I go to USC games there and if you’re bailing on the Q to go there, you’re bigger idiots than this article makes you out to be. The Chargers will fail before they even move in to their new lease agreement. The only end-game I Can see for them now is to try and leverage LA somehow and sell the team to someone who actually wants to be a hero and keep them in America’s Finest City. Beyond that, the Spanos family has to eat crow and come back to the negotiating table.
These numskulls have made so many bad decisions consecutively that eat away at San Diegan’s true values, I doubt they can ever get back in the good graces of San Diego. They would have to make double the amount of good decisions than their bad ones, which is insurmountable at this point… and win multiple Super Bowls. No one has really said it this way, but this family of fucksticks is trying to steal away our goddamned football team. Fuck these people with a splintery broom handle!
This family should be forced to sell the Chargers like that racist prick was forced to sell San Diego’s other team that was stolen; The Clippers. San Diego hates that motherfucker and we didn’t even like the Clippers. The Spanos family is already not welcome in their hometown and if they keep up their bullshit, they’re not going to be welcome in the NFL. Mark my words. Stop penalizing the fans that love this team because San Diego has rotten politicians and a corrupt city hall!
Note to the Spanos Family: You will always be remembered as the ownership that tried to steal our team and take it to LA… our goddamned rivals! For that, your legacy will never recover in San Diego or NFL Chargers history books.
“You are not big time Spanos family and therefore you do not get LA!”
Before I start this article… LARRY FUCKIN’ ENGLISH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Fuck you AJ Smith & John Spanos!
Blame it on the rain, the horrible ownership decisions regarding coaches and GM’s, or the terrible business decisions made by this family more often than a broken record… heck even a broken clock is right twice a day! The Chargers’ floundering ways have now metastasized to official NFL business ruining the Spanos’ post-season like their shitty decisions have ruined the fans’ post seasons for the past decade.
It seems pretty apparent that the NFL owners were hesitant on calling it quits on a vibrant fanbase that’s been alienated and harassed by this asshole ownership after 55 years in San Diego. Dean Spanos sat idly by while Antonio Gates was benched in a home opener after a career season so AJ Smith could say he was the boss. He did the same thing after Vincent Jackson had a career year… missed the playoffs by 1 game but Vincent missed 15 that season due to a pissing contest with AJ Smith. Spanos also let AJ Smith(Lord of No Rings) run Drew Brees, Darren Sproles, Junior Seau, Rodney Harrison, John Carney, and Donnie Edwards out of town. All of whom set records, won super bowls, or did something better once out of the Spanos’ Chargers’ clutches. Great… really stoked for New Orleans and New England on their Super Bowls while SD still has none. How’d that work out for you dean? Idiot!
When you put it to paper; JESUS! The Spanos family couldn’t try to be this bad at owning a franchise. If it weren’t for Philip Rivers, this franchise would be the Jags or Browns of the West Coast… The Jags were actually better than the Bolts this year. =/ It is just astonishing that the Chargers have fucked up sooo badly in drafts and other football business. It is NOT astonishing however that people outside of the Spano’s clown-car noticed. I am going to assume that most of these NFL owners are savvy business people where their dad did not hand them the business. This leads me to conclude that most of them realize LA is too important to the NFL to let Tommy Boy aka Dean Spanos bring his bumblin’ fumblin’ circus up north.
One could even argue that the Spanos family had been planning this shittiness so San Diego wouldn’t build them a stadium here so they could eventually move up north. The problem with that theory, is that it makes the Spanos family out to be cunning and savvy combined with having foresight. So we can write that theory off. Trust me, these people aren’t breaking the brain-bank. So at the end of the day, the NFL looked at their track record of doing meaningful & important shit in a business that revolves around “execution” and the answer was, “No thanks Chargers!”. The Spanos family has an out if San Diego fumbles going forward, but this is the NFL’s version of Bye Felicia!
