Is LT done or just working

Well a lot is being said by LT about staying with the Charger's and the press is feeding off it. I say let's wait and see what happens in the off season. If he cuts a deal to stay, great. If they get a front line or someone to at least open a hole for, even better. I haope the Jet's game was not his last game as a Charger..

Go Bolts and good luck to the Saints this weekend.. Drew  Brees needs a ring..

Sad News at Charger Town - Hart Cut -

SAN DIEGO - The Chargers released starting strong safety Clinton Hart(notes) on Wednesday in order to sign defensive tackle Ian Scott(notes).
The Chargers need depth on the defensive line due to the loss of tackle Jamal Williams(notes), out for the season with a triceps injury.

Hart joined the Chargers in 2004 and has been a starting safety since 2007.
Scott, a seven-year veteran, joined the Chargers last September and appeared in four games. He was released at the conclusion of training camp.
In their last game, the Chargers fell behind Pittsburgh 28-0 before losing 38-28. The Chargers allowed 497 yards of offence.
Coach Norv Turner said the Chargers were carrying an extra safety and felt younger players Steve Gregory(notes) and rookie Kevin Ellison(notes) "have come along and are ready to play."
Turner wouldn't say whether Gregory, who's listed behind Hart on the depth chart, would start in Monday night's home game against AFC West leader Denver.
"We'll decide that at the end of the week," Turner said. "There's no rush right now. We're playing multiple guys there."

Home Opener - Bag day - Need to get things going

So the first tailgate party was fun, great home opening party.I hope all enjoyed the fish.. The Game was another story. But the walking wounded did try to keep it close. We will get the Fish this weekend.

I will post the Cook list later, but you all know who is cooking when, I hope.

Cool Tuna out..

Close Game but still 12-0 in the last games

Well it was a crazy game, my dog is still hiding from all my yelling... But a W is a W and the Raiders still suck.. They did have a few moments of greatness, but in the end they still can win..

So now on the the good stuff, the Home Opener is this Sunday and I will be cooking Fish.. Lots of Fish.. Tuna, Yellowtail, and a surprise fish.. I will be doing Fish Taco's so if you want to bring a side dish, the menu is somewhat Mexican Style..

I will be down there early and have things set up. Be sure you get there early because of the parking. No More Companion Zone - SUCKS.. Ace /Chargers don't have a clue.

I will have the sign up sheet for the Home Game Cook List.. So remember that the game around Thanksgiving is Sean and Mike's game. and the Last Game will be our neighbor Mike and the TriTip.. But all others are open and plan a game you want to shine at..

Cool Tuna - Jeff

Antonio Cromartie is trying to make lots of new Cromartie fans

The San Diego Chargers cornerback seems to have a two-pronged plan for creating legions of young Antonio Cromartie(notes) fans.

Step 1: Work extremely hard in this offseason to recover from the poor showing he had in 2008; and,

Step 2: Through the miracle of human reproduction, populate America with young people who share the last name “Cromartie.”

Cromartie’s original excuse for his subpar 2008 was a hip injury. In a feature by Kevin Acee in yesterday’s San Diego Union Tribune, Cromartie mixed in his seven children and five paternity suits to his excuse cocktail.

“Last year my head wasn't in there,” Cromartie said. “I was dealing with my kids and their moms. It had my mind somewhere else.”

There are a lot of directions to be pulled when you have seven kids living in five states.

Cromartie has been named in at least five paternity suits in the past two years. Wichard said all of those have been addressed.

“It's all part of the simplification process,” [Cromartie’s agent Gary] Wichard said. “Everyone will be taken care of.”

Cromartie’s just 24 years old, if you were curious.

OTL Fiesita Island

Harrison Retires

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)—Two-time Pro Bowl safety Rodney Harrison(notes) announced his retirement on Wednesday, saying he is through hitting quarterbacks after a 15-year career for the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers.

“I am done, and I am very much so at peace with that,” he said in a conference call with reporters. “Football has been good to me. I’ve worked hard; I’ve played hard. I’ve done some things that I never dreamt I could do, and now it’s time to move forward to the next phase of my life.”

Later Wednesday, NBC announced that Harrison will join its NFL studio show; he worked for the network during its Super Bowl coverage last year.

Expect Harrison’s frank speaking to continue.

“When I played I didn’t have many friends,” he said on the network’s conference call, “so I’m sure I’m not going to make friends now.”

One less thing to come back and huant us with the Pat's now.. Great career, I hope he comes back to SD for the 50th year party at the Q.

NFL Draft Day -Chargers 1st pick

The Chargers select Northern Illinois DE Larry English with the 16th pick. (Credit: Northern Illinois via Chargers.com)

Outside linebacker Larry English (6-2, 255) from Northern Illinois headlined the Chargers 2009 NFL Draft class as the two-day proceedings came to an end on Sunday afternoon. The Bolts selected a total of eight players. A two-time winner of the Vern Smith Leadership Award as the top player in the Mid-American Conference, the Chargers selected English with the 16th overall selection in the first round. He will join an already talented corps of outside linebackers that includes Shawne Merriman, Shaun Phillips, Jyles Tucker and Antwan Applewhite. With a nose for getting after the quarterback and creating havoc in the offensive backfield, English finished his Huskies career with a school record 31.5 sacks and 63 tackles for loss.
San Diego Chargers 2009 Draft Picks
Round 1 (16) Larry English OLB Northern IllinoisRound 3 (78) Louis Vasquez G Texas TechRound 4 (113) Vaughn Martin DT Western Ontario (Canada)Round 4 (133) Tyronne Green C AuburnRound 4 (134) Gartrell Johnson RB Colorado StateRound 5 (148) Brandon Hughes CB Oregon StateRound 6 (189) Kevin Ellison S Southern CaliforniaRound 7 (224) Demetrius Byrd WR Louisiana State
Without a pick in the draft’s second round, having traded it to New England in 2008 to draft running back-fullback Jacob Hester, the Chargers selected again in the third round (78), taking former Texas Tech guard Louis (Lew-is) Vasquez (6-5, 325). A consensus All-Big 12 selection as a senior, Vasquez started 35 games during his collegiate career for the Red Raiders. He’ll have no problem fitting in with San Diego’s high-powered offense as Tech featured the NCAA’s fourth-ranked offense in 2008. Vasquez will help fill the void left by right guard Mike Goff, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent this offseason.
The Chargers had a total of three picks in the fourth round, two of which were compensatory selections awarded to the team for losing Michael Turner and Drayton Florence to free agency in 2008. With the first of their fourth-rounders, the Chargers selected defensive tackle Vaughn Martin (6-4, 327) from Western Ontario (Canada) with the 113th overall selection. Martin is the first Canadian college player drafted by the Chargers since the team picked cornerback Mark Montreuil (mon-troy) from Concordia, Quebec in the seventh round of the 1995 NFL Draft. Born in Jamaica, Martin grew up in Toronto and London, Ontario. He played two seasons at Western Ontario, racking up 92 tackles, 6.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss.
The Chargers used their two compensatory selections (Nos. 133 and 134) to select center Tyronne Green (6-2, 308) from Auburn and running back Gartrell Johnson (5-11, 218) from Colorado State. A converted defensive tackle, Green lined up at both center and guard for the Tigers. Johnson, a Miami, Fla. native, had an outstanding career at CSU, rushing for 2,814 yards and 24 touchdowns in four-plus seasons for the Rams. As a senior, he went for 1,514 yards and 12 touchdowns, including a 285-yard performance in his final collegiate start in the 2008 New Mexico Bowl. A first-team All-Mountain West Conference choice in 2008, Johnson earned New Mexico Bowl Offensive Player of the Game honors for his effort in the Rams’ 40-35 win over Fresno State.
In the fifth round (148), San Diego selected cornerback Brandon Hughes (5-11, 181) from Oregon State. Hughes, who played for former Chargers head coach Mike Riley in Corvallis, was a two-time second-team All-Pac-10 choice who finished his career with 178 tackles, 27 pass breakups and three interceptions. A speech communication major at Oregon State with aspirations of becoming a writer or broadcaster, Hughes actually wrote for the school’s newspaper, The Daily Barometer, while also playing football for the Beavers.
In the sixth round (189) the Chargers might have found a steal in former Southern Cal safety Kevin Ellison (6-1, 230), a unanimous first-team All-Pac-10 choice in 2008. A team captain for the Trojans, Ellison missed five games, including the 2009 Rose Bowl against Penn State due to a knee injury. Ellison, who also garnered first-team All-Pac-10 honors as a junior in 2007, comes from a very talented athletic family. One brother, Keith, plays linebacker for the Buffalo Bills and another brother, Chris, played defensive back at BYU in the late 1990s. His cousin, Dominic Ellison played college basketball at Washington State and New Mexico. Kevin finished his career at USC with 174 tackles and 17.5 tackles for loss.
The Chargers closed out the 2009 NFL Draft with the selection of wide receiver Demetrius Byrd (6-3, 200) from LSU in the seventh round (224). Byrd had a solid career at LSU, catching 72 passes for 1,134 yards and 11 touchdowns in two seasons for the Tigers. A Miami native, Byrd had catches in 23 consecutive games to close out his college career.
