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 .
There is still hope for the San Diego Chargers:
“If there is reason for optimism, it lies in both history and a closer look at where and why the Chargers have failed of late. Those things suggest their situation is not as hopeless as it may have seemed in recent weeks.
“It’s always looking out for any tweaks we can make,” Rivers said of the remedy for the offense’s current malady. “But it’s also not overreacting and just saying what we’re doing is good … Not to downplay the negatives but not to overreact and say, ‘Let’s just keep going.’ “
Rivers said that based on experience. The bad times don’t last forever. Even depleted by injury – and let’s not underestimate the effect of the losses of center Nick Hardwick and running back Danny Woodhead – an offense doesn’t just permanently lose its mojo.
Rivers remembers every NFL game he’s played with remarkable clarity. On Wednesday, he listed some bad stretches and contended some were worse than what the offense is presently enduring.
In one four-game stretch in 2010, the Chargers converted 34.1 percent of their third downs, same as they have the past four games. In winning three of the next four games after that slump, they converted at a 68.3 percent clip.”

Antonio Gates clarifies comments on Philip Rivers’ rib injury:
“After the Chargers beat the Raiders, Gates said Rivers has a “very severe rib injury.” On Monday, he tried to downplay his comments.
“I think some things I had said were taken out of context. I was just talking in terms of playing the game, just the typical soreness you have from playing in this league. I’ve been playing in this league a long time. I understand the process, the battles of what you have to put into a game, taking care of yourself physically.”
“I’m no doctor, by [any] stretch. My job is to come out here and try to help us win. As far as Philip goes, anything pertaining to him or concerning him and his physical health, that’s something maybe a doctor or a trainer or maybe himself can answer. Like I said, it was just me talking about his pure toughness, what I’ve known about him as a person.””
