Bizarro Charger World



It's official....we live in Bizarro Charger World!

Like the space and time of Superman we too are living a backwards and puzzling existence.

On Seinfeld there was a "Bizarro Jerry" pitted against Jerry Seinfeld's sitcom character.... we also find ourselves being stalked by an evil alter ego. A wretched hole to be sure, this parallel place.

This reversed version of our world has, as its team, the complete opposite of what we have grown accustomed to the last two seasons.
  • The Bolts don't cause turnovers.
  • They can't control the clock.
  • They don't travel well.
  • They find new and ever interesting ways to lose games.
It is torture of the worst variety to follow this team right now (it is torture of another nature to follow the Padres).

Who is this team? They are the team that found a way to lose 10-11 for the first time in the history of the NFL. And you new that it was destined to be when the Chargers scored and left the Steelers with six minutes left on the clock...just enough time to pass the ball thirteen times underneath (give or take) into a soft zone, run the clock off, and kick the winning field goal.

Are Kaeding's stats between 40-49 yds really what CBS said they were? Don't remember exactly but it was something ridiculous like 1 for his last 9....

Technically we weren't supposed to win this game but neither was Denver supposed to beat Atlanta on the road so we're running out of chances....

Which brings us to the Almost New Award that was to be issued this week:

~MASSHOLE OF THE WEEK~

This is an award given to the person from Massachusetts who either helps our teams in some way or who just dispels any well earned beliefs the country has about people from that state.

The inaugural prize was to go to Atlanta's Matt Ryan who nearly Quarterbacked the Falcons to a victory over the visiting Broncos thus helping the Charger cause...but blew it in the end. Matt Ryan, Boston College Alum, our Almost Masshole Of The Week!!!!

Can't wait to see what transpires next in Bizarro Charger World...
