Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- 31-years ago today the best call by a referee in NFL history
- Oooh - sick burn
- Lefsetz has his Tom Petty play list and commentary and it's pretty damn good.
- Charging (no pun intended) for empty seats is a business model doomed to fail (and I'm still calling them the San Diego Chargers)
- I love Monopoly Guy!
- I want one of these! But is 7 MPG practical for a wilderness RV?

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
I find it hard to believe that the Founding Fathers who grew hemp did not know about the "medicinal" qualities of the female plant... I can't imagine the emotion the holder of this ticket experienced during and after the final play of Monday night's Chiefs game... Ornamental Gargoyles would be a good name for a band of ugly guys... Moving the Chargers to LA was a huge mistake... Too bad that Wrongheaded Mystical Enthusiasm is too long to use as a fantasy football team name... A buttload is an actual unit of measure. Who knew?... God bless Mitch Trubisky...

NFL Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous NFL thoughts and observations.
I'm in a few fantasy football leagues and I think I'll be hard pressed to pick a single player from the San Diego Chargers. Yes that includes LaDainian Tomlinson and Philip Rivers. My gut tells me that both players have peaked and are due for an off-year, a decline or an injury. Sorry but that's what my gut tells me. Sure Antonio Gates and Nate Kaeding might be worth a pick at TE or K but in general both players are over-rated and better values can be found elsewhere.... The same may hold true for Kansas City. It's not that I think their "talent" is due for a let-down. I just don't think much of the talent. Of course Herm Edwards is also perhaps the worst coach in the league (Norn Turner "fans" may beg to argue). Maybe take a risk on receiver Dwayne Bowe or the defense... After looking over the Oakland Raiders roster - I find myself on the verge of a no-AFC West player boycott altogether... OK - maybe if the Denver Broncos' Jay Cutler or Selvin Young are available at the right time I'll end up taking a player or two from the AFC West...

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
So the Red Sox bullpen blew the game last night against the Orioles. That's OK. The Red Sox bullpen has been great the whole season - they're allowed a stinker every once and a while... Just to add more fuel to the "take the under on Charger wins" conversation - the Football Outsiders rank the coaching staffs of all 32 NFL teams and the Chargers' staff comes in 30th out of 32 teams... After appearances in 4 games for the Red Sox - opponents are hitting .474 against Eric Gagne. They were only hitting .192 against him when he was in Texas. He has to get better... Last night the Oakland A's beat the Detroit Tigers 16-10. There were 4 NFL exhibitions last night and only one of the 4 games produced more points than the number of runs scored in the A's game...

San Diego Chargers
The Chargers went 14-2 last year which was good enough to get coach Marty Schottenheimer fired. This year they have Norv Turner at the helm. So basically they went from a head coach with a reputation for not being able to get the job done in the playoffs to a head coach with a reputation for not being able to get the job done at all.
The Cold, Hard Football Facts thinks that San Diego will repeat as champs of the AFC West. I'm not so sure.
Bodog lists the over / under for wins for San Diego at 11 wins but the Pro Football Prospectus (put together by the guys at Football Outsiders) projects the Chargers to 8.6 wins but the Broncos to 8.7 wins.
I think the San Diego offense regresses a bit under Norv Turner and I'm not sold on their defense. My guess is 10 wins which may or may not be good enough to win the AFC West. The big thing to watch is how they bounce back from a loss. There is real potential for the Chargers to go 8-8 and miss the playoffs. All it would take is one or two injuries and one questionable late game decision by Turner for the wheels to fall off the bandwagon..
