They are usually terrible and they haven't won a Cup since 1967, yet in the eyes of the team and their fans they are the only team that matters.

This Week in Betting, A to Z
by T.O. Whenham - 09/12/2007A - Adrian Peterson. 103 yards rushing and a 60-yard TD catch. Think this guy is going to be any good? If he keeps doing that, and Tavaris Jackson keeps paying basically acceptable football, then Minnesota and their solid defense could win more than expected. Of course, it would help if they could play the Falcons and the ... read more

2007 AFC West Preview
The Chargers won the West last year and finished with the best regular season record in the NFL. So, what did they do? Fired their coach of course! While I’ve never been a huge Schottenheimer fan, it’s hard to imagine him losing his job after going 14-2. Regardless, Marty is ancient history now and Norv Turner has been given the reigns.
