(Based on how sick it would be) Wise old LeBron James is once again a free agent. He controls his destiny as any billion dollar talent should. Since he is the equivalent of an NBA stimulus package, there is wide speculation about where he could end up. I have some opinions on this. But as […]

Ghost of Chargers Future
Last night I was visited by the Ghost of Chargers Future: The Los Angeles Clippers. From the very murmur of the Spanos family considering the move to LA, the Clippers were used to bludgeon them with perspective: YOU’LL NEVER BE LA’S TEAM. And they should have listened. Now in their 34th year in Los Angeles, […]
Save Us Trevor Hoffman, You’re Our Only Hope
There is a famous quote that goes something like “They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” I forget who said it. That is how true that quote is. I don’t know Trevor Hoffman’s career stats. In a sport that prizes numbers above all else, I could […]
Week 17 (& Season) Recap: Chargers vs. Raiders
My apologies for the delay, it has been almost a week since the Chargers played their final game of the season. But that was way back in 2017 when things were so hectic and horrible. We’re now living in 2018 where the only thing the Chargers can do is suck at watching football. Brief week […]
Week 16 Recap: Chargers @ Jets
FULL DISCLOSURE: I’m a 35-year-old man who hasn’t had a day job in 5 years, AND I’m in peak vacation mode, so I didn’t wake up until the second half of this game. Other than the CTE epidemic, domestic abuse, and racist/power-hungry owners, the fact that games start at 10am PT on a Sunday is […]
Week 15 Recap: Chargers @ Chiefs
The Chargers are not in Kansas anymore. In fact they never were, despite what my favorite backup QB Cardale Jones might have thought (via twitter): “Soooooo Kansas City is in state of Missouri?….NOT Kansas. So thank you Mrs. Johnson from 4th grade geography, just lost 20 bucks. If you are reading this, I feel like […]
Week 14 Recap: Chargers vs Redskins
Welp, I’m officially nervous the the Chargers might be good. They controlled the entire game and didn’t even miss a field goal somehow. Not that the Redskins are a formidable opponent, in fact, the Redskins are a shitty team with one of the few owners as shitty as Dean Spanos. The only thing Dan Snyder […]
Week 13 Recap: Chargers vs. Browns
The Chargers beat the Browns. Whoopdy doo. It wasn’t a dominating performance. The Bolts played a solid game and I’d be more terrified about their resurgence if not for the fact that this solid game was against an 0-11 team. The same team whose only win last year was against a tanking, LA-bound Spanos-owned franchise […]
Week 12 Recap: Chargers @ Cowboys
Ezekiel Elliott has given us the gift of exposure. And this time it is not just his bare midriff like his slutty draft day suit. Zeke exposed the Cowboys offense, which looked weak and un-dynamic. He exposed the level of play in the league, which hinges on the health/availability of about three players per squad. […]
Week 11 Recap: Chargers vs. Bills
This game sucked. That’s it. Jono Zalay is a native San Diegan and co-host of the F*** The Chargers podcast, available on iTunes and all those other places. He now lives in Los Angeles where he can hate the Chargers from close proximity.
