“Smear the Queer”seems like grade school game we used to play called “Kill the Carrier.” It had no teams and almost no rules, the only object was to get the ball any way you could and try to run to the other side of the playground while every single other kid did their best to tackle you and beat your face into the…

Yep... 

The Chargers have a long history of getting into pissing matches with key players at exactly the wrong time. In the early 80s they refused to pay sack artist and reigning AFC defensive player of the year Fred Dean and sent him to SF in a totally shit trade.

It’s no wonder Davis got a script to stick to. I remember Chris Fowler once mentioning a hazing scandal (can’t recall which school) on college game day by saying something along the lines of “players engaging in some Lord of the Flies stuff,” as if that meant it no big deal.

Exactly about the players wanting the security of longer term deals and owners fearing having to pay updated market rates every season for their best players. When Finley floated the idea pretty much everyone fled like he’d unpinned a grenade, the union and owners couldn’t get away fast enough.

An entire generation of east coast kids like me were tormented by Horse Face’s late comebacks and Enberg’s signature “OH MY!”…

“This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. I love football. Thank you.”

I’m a Giants fan who spent much of January seriously sick before being admitted to the hospital in septic shock (only to be released on SB Sunday and almost die again from that game and halftime show,) and I remembered nearly all of the playoffs... Except the Ford penalty which I blocked out completely until reading…
