First off, I want to apologize for not posting anything this week. I was doing my best not to write about what everyone else is writing about. To be honest about it, the Raiders just flat out bore me. Nine straight, and it will 10 after this weekend is over. Yet the Raider Nation all [...]

A reply from Ed Hochuli

I recently sent an email to referee Ed Hochuli to represent the people of the San Diego Chargers. When I heard that he was actually responding to all the emails, I felt some kind of duty to make sure something was sent to him, that was not hate mail. I’m pretty sure he has a [...]

Building a bridge for the Bolts…

Build a bridge…AND GET OVER IT!

The countdown is on.

Today marks the day of the beginning of the longest week of the season. The days leading up to kickoff are long and drawn out. The preseason is over. The games will finally count. Let’s keep it short and sweet. Let’s do what we came to do. We’re in it to win it.
Let’s go Bolts. We believe. [...]
