If my memory serves me, Marty had three failed attempts in the playoffs, before the Chargers fired him, now Norv has now had three failures in the post season. Norv inherited a team with tremendous talent, and has done nothing with it. Aside from the totally stupid penalties, that had to be some of the stupidest play calling in a post season game.

The Chargers have the second worst running game in the NFL, and the Jets have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, so why did they try to run in critical situations…

Even though Norv is the winningest coach in the history of the Chargers, Norv still needs to go 8 and ) to get to .500 as a head coach

The only question is, when Norv is fired who do they replace him with, Jim Zorn?

When I saw the headline Gruden to replace Kornheiser on MNF, on Fox Sports today, I knew there was a Football God and that our collective stay in Monday Night Football purgatory was officially over…. 

I have no idea how Gruden will fare, but anything has to be better then the worst ever football announcer in the history of the game.

I am not buying into the story that it was Kornholers choice, I have never ever talked to anyone that could even tolerate him, and I guess I don’t have to do the Sirius MNF sync trick, and I was getting so good at it…

I am trying to figure out who at the NFL or ESPN thought that San Francisco at Arizona would be an marquee game.  On what planet over the past few years does an NFC West match up matter to anyone, then add to that add the crack ESPN Broadcast team, and you have a recipe for making Dancing With the Stars a must see.

I remember when the NFL would make the Monday Night game schedule based on the prior year standings, but now it seems that MNF is one of those things that every team gets to do once every couple of years instead of earning it. I guess it is true parity in the NFL, making all fans suffer through a game covered by  Tony Kornheiser….

By the way Tony, the comb over isn’t working, and hasn’t been for a long time…

[PS]

I am so glad I got the Sirius working in the house again, sweet relief

Would someone at ESPN please come to their senses and get rid of that annoying looser Tony Kornheiser, he has to be the absolute worst thing to happen to football. As much as everyone hated Dennis Miller on MNF, I am sure that the Dennis Miller haters would welcome him back with open arms, after being exposed to the constant annoyance of Kornheiser.
Unfortunately my Sirius Satellite Radio in the house is broken, so I didn’t have my alternatives for audio.

So the AFC Championship game is just around the corner, and at mid season, I thought I’d be watching the Patriots and the Steelers, Colts, or the Jags. I didn’t think the Chargers lead by Norv had the ability to make it to the post season. Well Norv led the team to their first post season win since 95, against the Titans. Then it was off to Indy, to once more kicking their butts at home, and picking Manning 2 more times making it 8 INT’s on the season for the Chargers D against Manning. Pretty impressive considering he was only picked 14 times all year.
So the Chargers are not expected to win on Sunday,nor were they last week, but thats why they play the game. The Chargers have no expectations put upon them, no perfect season, just going out to play some ball, while the Patriots are playing for everything they are supposed to win, they have the pressure of needing to go undefeated.
All I have to say is 17 and 1 is a completely respectable record.

Go Chargers…
