2008-01-20T16:18:22.679-05:00

I'm a Packers fan, so, of course, I want THEM to get to the big dance. But I'm more interested in seeing the Chargers in the Super Bowl than the Patriots. There's a certain "been there, done that" feeling to the Pack/Pats scenario. Different teams, I know, but I'd like to see a new Packers Super Bowl matchup. So, go SD!

2008-01-18T02:36:50.400-05:00

I'm just thinking of the ESPN front page should the Patriots lose - ESPECIALLY if it's to the Giants. Tom Brady's head down, the giant oversized picture, and:

18-1

In big white text. Over on the right and below you'll have lots of stories of the Giants blah blah blah, with one "Manning does in Brady again, this time Eli", or something to that effect.

Of course, this would've been perfect after a loss to the Jags - "16-1" would've summed up everything you ever needed there.

Wait so the most talented, exuberent, colorful, athletic, physical exciting team in the league the Chargers would be boring? Who is Vincent Jackson? He is the new Larry Fitzgerald. So you smug little jokers need to stop and think in the future when bloggin out. Don't insult us in the future.

2008-01-17T22:59:49.031-05:00

My Superbowl prediction... Chargers and the Giants... screw what all the media says. And as for the Patriot fans, it's your team and you have the right to support them and say what you will. I know almost everyone will say I'm crazy so my prediction and some may even call me retarded, but hey... I told people that the Bolts would beat the colts (even predicted the interception before the half that would have made it 14 - 10 had it not been for that holding call) Also said Giants would beat the Cowboys the week before they played...

2008-01-17T21:15:09.581-05:00

are you kidding me?????? why are the chargers not getting any respect??????? BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T WON SHIT, and when they lose, they cry!!!!!!

First of all Cutla, your reasoning is completely idiotic. So you are saying that if a team doesn't win a Super Bowl, they should not get any respect at all? So by your logic, Marino's Dolphins, Fouts' Chargers (who had legends like Joiner and Winslow) and the Bills who made it to 4 Super Bowls but lost deserve no respect at all? That is completely moronic. And you of course as a Pats fan give the Chargers shit for being upset after losing in the 06 season. Dude, are you serious? You're telling me that if the Pats had an incredible record, got beaten in their house, and then the other team started disrespecting them, their house, and their fans that they would just take it in stride? Bullshit! They had every right to be upset! Any team and any fans would be upset! And wait, what? We haven't won shit? We only went 14-2 last season and were AFC West Champs, and went 11-5 this year and were repeat AFC West Champs...how is that not winning anything? You talk a big game cuz it's so easy to jump on the Pats' bandwagon, but the fact is that before Brady came along, your team was a joke.

2008-01-17T18:44:44.303-05:00

Im really getting sick of the patriots getting all the attention. Does nobody remember how close they've come to loosing their last six games? Yeah its history and i can respect that, but give me a break. im sick of hearing how amazing they are.

2008-01-17T17:01:12.784-05:00

And, by the way, for those of you bashing Rivers for his mouth, let's not forget the the Saintly Tom Brady was the guy who caused the taunting rule to be implemented.

2008-01-17T16:53:11.173-05:00

Does ANYBODY really want to see the Pats in the Supre Bowl AGAIN???

I mean, think about it, it's like the 4th installment of a movie (Rocky IV, Rambo IV, Halloween IV). Been there, done that. It's boring. Let's see something new!!!

Is anyone going to stand up and give the New York Football Giants the credit they deserve....We'd win 6-7 games?!?!, Proving people wrong is obviously is what we do best Eli Manning is here to stay see you at Big One New England

2008-01-17T15:00:38.148-05:00

I love being the underdog! I see a little bit of Rivers in every CHARGER fan. We don't need the media. We are who we are; no one can change us. Say what you say I will always be a CHARGER fan. Why do you guys hate us? Cuz we talk too much? Last time I heard that was part of being competitive. You are a dirty liar if you say you never trash talked to your buddies while competing. What happened to bashing the real assholes like haynesworth, moss, and vick! We are who we are... I guess you guys are too- Idiots!

2008-01-17T14:11:56.299-05:00

Chargers fans are whining? This whole this is about how great a GB/NE Matchup would be and how all the chargers do is whine

I believe the classiest team in the NFL is the chargers, and im a RAIDERS fan

Rivers gets fired up. Yeah, @ that Denver game? that was mouthing off. Him telling the crowd @ Indy "i'll be back"...how is that mouthing off?

Brett Favre whined that he wouldnt come back if he didnt get good recivers, and he wouldnt help train a new QB if they drafted one

The Patriots were caught cheating, Bellicheck goes straight for the media cameras after every game, and Tom Brady dumped his PREGNANT girlfriend to go marry a supermodel. The chargers have the most players involved with their community- LT with numerous foundations such as make a wish. Shawn Merriman with his Construction Co. to help pay for and rebuild houses damaged by the fire. Lorenzo neal with Habitat for humanity- How can you talk about them this way?

All you pats fans- You're the biggest Aholes out here. You talk about how ANY team you play isnt classy and talks too much...and you are just "trying to play an innocent game"

shut the hell up and let this crap be decided on the playing field

2008-01-17T13:20:40.880-05:00

I think by far the most intriguing storyline to a GB-NE Superbowl would be the Randy Moss aquisition by NE. Favre only wanted to come back this year if the packers were willing to get him some offensive weapons. Randy Moss has proven to be one of if not THE biggest weapons in the NFL. Brett Favre was truly upset that the pack didn't land randy and I think the biggest headlines would read "Would the patriots be undefeated right now if it weren't for randy moss?, Would tom brady or brett favre be MVP if moss went to the pack?, Would the packers possibly be favored in the Superbowl?" I think that if randy moss were a packer, brady wouldn't have broken the TD record and brady would have had a much more mediocre year. I mean, I know he threw to everyone, especially welker, but without that randy moss threat, would welker really have had that good of a season?
I'm rooting for GB-NE Superbowl as a grudge match from the last time they met in the Superbowl. Maybe the pack can ruin the pats perfect season bid, even without randy moss. GO PACK GO!!!

2008-01-17T13:00:23.245-05:00

I don't see anything wrong with Rivers talking smack. Put yourself in that kind of competitive environment as a very young man on a big stage and see how you react. Everyone does it, including the Pats. Did you see how Brady "celebrated" after coming back against the Colts? He gave a congratulatory headbutt to everyone in the huddle. After the Pats came back and beat the chargers last postseason? They all did a dance at midfield. Every team does this.

It's just weird how the team that gets caught cheating is the more likeable one. Let's be fair... what the Pats got caught doing is something probably every team at least tries to do. Why don't we just hype this game for what it is? The seemingly unstoppable, undefeated Patriots vs. the spunky, underdog Chargers. That's it. If anything, it's like Golden State playing the Mavericks in the playoffs last year.

2008-01-17T12:50:59.378-05:00

are you kidding me?????? why are the chargers not getting any respect??????? BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T WON SHIT, and when they lose, they cry!!!!!! the patriots had to win 2 super bowls to get any kind of respect, in fact, after winning 3 super bowls and going undefeated, NOW they are getting the respect they deserve
