I stand by my earlier post that celebrating Norv last week was premature but give SD credit. They won and the move paid off.
That said, Phillip Rivers is still a fucking douchebag. You know how fucking awful you must be to make Shawn Merriman tolerable? And Rivers does. I'd rather watching Lights Out dances for the next twenty years than see another second of Rivers bitch-ass do anything.

Let Me Get This Straight
At this time last year, the San Diego Chargers were resting up after having a bye week, the reward for a 14-2 regular season. The New England Patriots (12-4) were coming to San Diego.
This season, the San Diego Chargers, falling to an 11-5, received no bye. Instead, they had to play in the Wild Card round, and in the process might have lost Antonio Gates for the remainder of their season. And now they head to face the 3 loss Indianapolis Colts in one of the toughest venues, the RCA Dome.
But if you listen or read the media, AJ Smith has been vindicated. They won a playoff game!!! Whoo! It was all worth it.
Shut up. They are actually in a worse position than they were last year. The real gauge for the success of this season lies in this week's game. If SD wins, the move paid off. If SD loses (which they will), the move will have been at best a push, and more actually, a negative.
All things and all playoff wins are not equal. You give me a coach who gets me HFA advantage year after year, you can take wild card winner each year. If we're both losing in the divisional round, what's the difference? At least my coach gets me an extra week off.
