Ya weird. Lightening delay? And now players after warming up, headed back in. You’ll wonder about pulled hammys etc later..
It's delayed due to the oil slick in Huntington Beach.
I see Linsley out there. Then looked for and didn’t see Bulaga. Sure enough, he’s hurt again. Like last year. Now on IR with ongoing back problems. Packers FO once again made the right move to move on from an aging vet.

Dave Winfield in the house….best wise crack ever by George Steinbrenner after Dave once again failed in the post season….George called Dave…..Mr May.

Carl Nassib came out of the closet and no one is talking about it. Hopefully, this allows the NFL to enter the 21st century

Yep. I honestly was shocked that there were some that wanted him back. I got real tired of Bulaga not being able to finish games.
Hey, it’s not his fault his body was failing him, but he was a guy you could not count on to play a full 4 quarters. The most important quarter of a game typically is the 4th quarter and he was unavailable for way too many of those even if he started the game.

I think back to all the teams I was on through and past school and wonder how many gay guys were just miserable because they had to hide who they were. I know a couple of instances where I'm pretty sure it lead to mental health issues. We are getting better as a society.
Worked with many pre teens and teens who fit that description over the years and the majority had mental health issues.
Chargers loaded with defenders I really liked in the draft; Tillery, James. Adderly
Chargers look legit. I’d still pick the Chiefs to win that division but the Chargers are a good up and coming team.
If Jordan Love ever comes anywhere close to being as good as Justin Herbert I’d be ecstatic.
Lombardi stepped into a good position with Herbert. Many doubted his presence would be a positive for the kid in year 2. He looks legit tonight.
It's a constant cheer fest for fans; tough to tell who is the home team if you were just listening to the game. Fun note to hear that the Chargers practiced going on a silent count despite being at home.
Raiders fans travel well---mostly because their ex-spouses have restraining orders on them at home.

Funny, while I agree on Bulaga and can understand moving on from Linsley given the cost and age, I can't help but notice a certain CB who used to play (at a high level) for San Diego and who is now toiling (cheaply) for the Raiders and think of how the GB front office preferred Randall ... and Rollins ... and King.
Thought the same thing when I saw Micah Hyde intercept another pass yesterday at the safety position everyone but the front office and Dom knew he was better suited to playing than the slot CB he was misused in during his stay in GB.
Adding in the disastrous decision to pay Nick Perry after his only good season and boy the Pack's FO moves when it comes to moving on from (or paying) vets on the defensive side of the ball (hi Dean Lowry) don't look all that good.
Man. AFC is loaded...Chargers look real as Hell. Hell, Raiders are good. Hunter Renfro is a genuine football savant. Play he made on the fake punt was genius. China route is killer too.

In my experience they are not all travelers. My daughter lives in SoCal about 10 miles from SoFi stadium, I spend quite a bit of time out there. I see substantially more Raider hats , shirts and jackets than Rams, Chargers, Dodger and Angel gear. It’s not even close IMO.

There might still be some Raiders fans in SoCal from when they were the LA Raiders. And just in general, the fact that they’re a bit of a renegade organization and have a cool helmet logo attracts a certain amount of fans to them everywhere.
Lots of Raiders fans at game last night but Chargers fans were loud when Raiders had ball too. I'm glad Raiders are NOT in LA even tho' their fans still are. Remember back when COPS tv show was on the air? It seemed like every other perp was sporting Raiders gear.
