Trades are over as of 2 weeks ago.  Watch the waiver wire for drops and see if you can find some good matchups for whatever's available week to week.

Sans Diego and Francisco play today at Qualcomm. The Chargers are 7-6, and the '9ers are 5-8. The teams are one game out of first place in their respective divisions.

That . . . is not good.

Love Rich Eisen trying (not very hard) to sell it that this game is worth watching to anyone other than die-hard fans. Dude, when a 5-8 team is one game out of first, that's fuck*ng awful, and you shouldn't be showing the game. This kinda shit almost makes me feel like they should adopt the seeding thing. NFC West shouldn't send a team to the playoffs this year. Sorry, fuckers - you suck!

fuck*ng Vincent Jackson.  Worthless for two weeks, so I put you on the bench, and THEN you catch three touchdowns.

Oh, and Antonio Gates didn't play.  I am so screwed.

No, the NFL is sort of like the BCS now - all AQ divisions, and the playoffs have to take a team from each one, no matter how bad they actually are.

ACC & Big East? Sure you get a bowl game! You all suck? No problem. = NFC West? Sure you send a team to the playoffs!

They ought to have lower leagues. I'll admit my ignorance of it, but my understanding is that in the UK, or perhaps all of Europe, if your team sucks they don't get to play with the big boys anymore. That would increase the sting a bit. Of course, heads would roll way more often than they do know, and of course the owners would never go for it. But that would be glorious. You win 2 games or less? You are non-competitive. Go to the 'B' league.

I believe you mean relegation. It could work in MLB. The bottom two MLB teams would be demoted to AAA at the end of the season, while the top two AAA teams would be promoted to the majors. The same would happen between AAA and AA and so on.

They would just have to blow up the whole minor league affiliation to big-league teams thing first, and make every team in the country an independent entity.  No problem!

Yeah, that's it. They should take the Panthers and make them an Arena League team.

So the Chargers were without Gates, Crayton, and Floyd yesterday. Three of their top four receivers. They kept talking about how Rivers has thrown to 17 different receivers this year, and I'm thinking yeah, little dinks and dunks, some guys who who targeted twice, whatever. But 11 of them are in double-digits for receptions, and 10 of them have scored. In contrast: New England - 12 players, 6 double-digits, 6 scored. Atlanta - 13 players, 8 double-digits, 9 scored. If the Pats had a game and Welker, Branch and Gronkowski were out, would they be worried?

I guess the whole thing is skewed because their leader from last year just came back, and maybe I'm talking myself into something, but they did look pretty good yesterday.

Recently they keep talking about what a good head coach/attractive head coaching candidate Ron Rivera is.

Guess what, fuckheads? The only reason the Chargers do so well is that Norv is a good off. coordinator and Rivera is a good def. coordinator. They should have both those guys, and then have an actual head coach. Why is it so hard for people to understand that just because someone is a good coordinator does not necessarily make them a good head coach? Cam Cameron, anyone? Turner? Wade? McDaniels? There is no end to this list. Weis? If Rivera leaves this year and is a bust at head coach I am going to be pissed.

Not everyone can do every job.

On a happier note, McNabb has been benched for Grossman. Ha ha, enjoy your firing, Shanny!
