Football > Politics

What else can I tell myself after Rachel Maddow just informed me my CHARGERS have donated 4x more $$$ to the Repugs than any other team in the league? That didn't just happen.

Go Bolts!

6. Not to mention they have Phillip Rivers, the embodiment of every Arrogant, Asshole Frat Boy

Edited on Fri Sep-18-09 09:43 PM by TheWatcher

That has ever walked the Earth.

That prick should be playing for The Raiders, not The Chargers. An offense like that deserves a classier act.

I do like Darren, Ladianian, and Antonio though, so it ALMOST Balances out.

You guys should have NEVER gotten rid of Drew Brees.

Ever.

7. Philip Rivers rules!

What are you talking about? People talk S*#@, he talks S*#@ back. Dude played on a ripped up knee in a subzero playoff game. Frankly after watching that I wouldn't care who (if anyone) he backs politically.

8. Oh he's very talented, but he's a complete ass.

Edited on Fri Sep-18-09 09:53 PM by TheWatcher

So we will have to agree to disagree. :)

BUT, he's not in the same league as Drew. Jesus, the guy is throwing six touchdowns a game with THE SAINTS. THE SAINTS, for God Sake.

Now what do you think he'd be doing in an offense like yours. :)

Hint: Brady wouldn't have as many Rings, that's for sure. ;)

Drew would have given you guys the Lombardi had he been given the chance. I personally would have like to have seen him stay, and Phillip go.

But that's just me.

You guys have a good squad, despite my loathing of your Quarterback, and I wish you Good Fortune this year. :hi:

13. BELIEVE Me It Is.

Edited on Sat Sep-19-09 09:38 AM by TheWatcher

I remember the Chargers of Old, and that was one of the Greatest, most underrated teams of All Time.

Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, Chuck Muncie, Charlie Joiner, Rolfe Benirshke.

We both know the only reason THAT team didn't make Joe Montana wait for his first ring was The Freezer Bowl.

Fucking Air Coryell.

The Greatest Show On Earth.

I'm sure you also remember the GREATEST Football Game ever played.

January 2nd, 1982.

AFC Divisional Playoff

San Diego 41

Miami 38 DOUBLE OT

THOSE were the days. :)

11. It is not a game, Jonathan, 'the game', itself, is therefore apolitical...
