We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the San Diego Chargers.
The San Diego Chargers will have a sold out game this Sunday:
“Maybe you’ve noticed I don’t root for or against the Chargers. But I most certainly want San Diego to be a good sports town.
I loved it when being at Qualcomm Stadium for a Chargers game felt like an event, when it thundered for the lightning bolts, when the rumble in the Qualcomm Stadium stands was bettered only by the chills it gave us.
It hasn’t been that way for a while. You won’t even try to argue that if you regularly went to watch L.T. and Sproles and Cromartie and Merriman and have been to the Q lately for the mix of boos and booze, the tepid claps far more regular than incessant screams.
Hey, I’m not saying the product on the field has merited more enthusiasm or not called for derision much of the past four seasons.
But your team is a contender again.
You get Sunday Night Football. You get the powder blue uniforms.
You shelled out the money. Now lose your mind.”

Rant Sports discusses the need for Philip Rivers to step it up against Tom Brady:
“San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has become a player that most fans of the team would call the face of the franchise. He is the unquestioned leader of the team, and similarly to last year is playing some of the best ball in his career. Last week he put together two great late drives to upset the Baltimore Ravens and has bounced back from a slight lull that saw him averaging about one touchdown throw a game over the previous three games.
Now the New England Patriots come to town. With them the future Hall of Fame duo of quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick will of course be on the field. Above the normal challenges such a matchup will create for the entire team, it brings a special statistical negative Rivers would like to erase.
Since Rivers has started for the Chargers, he has played a Brady-led Patriots team five times, with two of those being playoff matchups. Rivers is 0-5 in those games. This streak dates back to 2007, and the losses have varied from close losses to total blowouts.”
