Two Cents from a Bolt Fan in Donkey Land


Some have seen the following diatribe from "Super Charger Fan in Denver" but it's worth posting for ALL to see. This San Diego transplant is like few fans you will EVER see! He is hardcore....He is to fanhood, what "Air Jordan" was to the NBA: ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!
He has passion folks!

The Ancients didn't write obituaries...they only asked, did he live with PASSION? I don't know if the "Ancients" actually said that but Jeremy Piven uttered it in the film Serendipity and we think it is applicable here...especially since Piven won an Emmy last night. Passion, People! It needed to be posted now because of the timeliness that is tonight's Monday Night Battle versus th J-E-T-S. Enjoy the PASSION:

Gentlemen, Friends, and Charger fans alike:

I have chosen to wait to respond to the despicable display of zebra whistles until now.
As one of the lone dedicated Charger Fans to walk the streets and be forced to live at this elevation with no ocean, only a pond or two, I felt it necessary to honor the mighty Bolts and all fans of San Diego by attending the game along with my wife, and a buddy from San Diego.

We arrived to a parking lot full of the despicable Orange and Navy; not a minute had passed after stepping out of our vehicle when a 60 year old woman screams in our direction "Chargers lick ass", interesting comment coming from a Jackass fan in Donkey Country.
To my surprise I did see some Chargers jerseys, but most were quiet and did not represent, as they should have.

As we approached our seats among the Orange Cowboy hats we realized that we were in the minority and would have to yell for all of San Diego.
The game began and the Donkeys marched down the field to our chagrin for the first TD of the game. The cheers rang out and we sat in silence, then began to cheer as the kickoff came our way. Then came the first HOME FIELD advantage incident. The "interception" that was not, occurred. Out came the red flag as I let all know around me for sections that the ball was complete and easy on the premature celebrations. Then what do you know. The Donkey Electrical has an issue; the plug got pulled on the review camera. Tell me gentlemen, does the NFL have that little money that they cannot have a backup? What should we say, 80" Plasma for any replay necessary? Maybe an extra tent or curtain to cover them up should that be required. Why not send it upstairs (novel concept?) And then it happened, the beginning of the most irresponsible refereeing display in NFL history, live before my eyes.

It was amazing how the fans began talking to us as we were their friends with the score 3 to 21, but when Sproles took one back for 103yrds the silence was deafening, other than our screams and high fives while the voice was still there. Then the pick in the end zone, and Sproles again taking it to the house for the 63 yrd scamper and we went up 38-31. An eerie silence came over the stadium yet again.
Little did we know at this point that we were about to witness with our own eyes the worst blown call in the history of the NFL.

Our section of 3 erupted as the fumble happened and we CLEANLY recovered the ball with 1:14 left on the clock. Game over high fives around and the silence again through out the repulsive Orange and Blue.
Then the darkness came over us as the explanation of the absolute inexcusable blown dead call in the history of not only the NFL, but also all football on every level. Yes including the Super bowl halftime lingerie bowl. Everyone cheered as I yelled this game will be forever marked with an "*" as the ball went back to Denver. Then for them to be 4th and goal and convert, to only come back for a 2 point conversion, made me not only disgusted by our defensive performance, but them converting that was a total lack of respect for our defense.

This week in front of a National audience we must step up on the defensive side and destroy the Jets as we get the skunk off the boat and land our first Victory of the year. I am calling right now minimum of 2 picks tonight. One, by Cromartie and another from Hart. This is a must win as the rest of the games of this season will be, as we are unable to count on any other team to make a 50% of there field goal attempts, and present the Donkey's will their first loss. Though it has been a difficult couple of weeks. This is our coming out party tonight on National Television.

We must stand strong together in VICTORY
GO BOLTS!

It has been hard for me to find the words to describe the way I feel early in the 2008 season. My Buckeyes have been embarrassed, my Browns have buckled under their pre-season pub and my new team the Bolts are in a must win situation in week 3. They must win because they don't know how to win....yet.....Farve needs to be embarrassed and the questions need to be directed towards him and whether he still has it, not towards LT. We must win on national TV. We must win in front of our fans. We must win because if we don't, we will believe that we can't. Losing is a disease, no matter how it happens. It spreads like a cancer....the good thing is, so does winning.
