Thank You....New England Patriots:)

"Unfortunate Circumstances Have Rendered Us Reluctant Patriots"-The Avenger Billy Bardy

We received this text and it couldn't have rang more true: these haters had to embrace their mortal enemies on this Monday night. We were glad to see that the bludgeoning at the hands of the Lightning Bolts was enough to set those Pats straight. A Bronco loss we needed and a Bronco loss we got. Despite the disdain we direct towards New England this match up was a no- brainer in another way as well. We'll call it the "retarded little hillbilly factor". Look at this clown Cutler on The Best Damn Sports Show and his comments on Phillip Rivers:



I'd say that these comments make Cutler look like a tool.....but it's his haircut that takes care of that. That good ol' boy's gonna get wrecked on December 27th. That will be the game that decides who wins the AFC West with an 8-8 record. We'll take it if we can get it.

Patriots: We were glad to kick your ass so that it could help you beat the Donkeys....anytime!

In Politics:

Declare Yourself

The Founding Fathers are revered for their intellect and foresight. They warned us against the formation of factions (political parties) as being divisive......yet we fully endorse a two party system where election dialogue is only open between those with money......influence is bought up by the millions and the media covers it lock-stock.......

During the primaries there was only one candidate who ever discussed monetary policy, banking and the Fed, the IRS, and a shift from our current foreign policy which is driving our country into the ground. Yet, now when his concerns seem to be most validated there is no recognition of his ideas and we find that the train keeps a movin' unabated.....without questions from the media or any of the major talking heads.

Why have we no questions? Why have we submitted to this tyrannical rule of the ineffectual few?

The Tortured San Diego Fan Experience...alive and well

We mentioned earlier this week that the HATE was a promotional tool to hype the game that would be not only critical to our season but would serve as a mode of vengeance for fellow San Diego Fans.

After the victory we started a new blog, one that does not give so much credit to the New England Patriots but instead tells who we are as San Diego Fans. We decided to continue posting at this address until the end of the season at which point we will go full time to our new address. In light (no pun intended) of what happened in Orchard Park, NY this morning we think that it is the perfect time to unveil the name of our new site:

THE TORTURED SAN DIEGO FAN EXPERIENCE
www.torturedsandiegofan.blogspot.com

Perfect name when you consider the continued slide of a team that was near the upper echelon of SuperBowl contenders at the beginning of this season. Such is the life of a San Diego Sports Fan. Where to begin?

That there is a kid's radio adorned with a Charger hat. In the background is a nice plasma television which is airing a commercial for Survivor. There is a break in the action from the Charger/Bills game.....we mean Steelers/Bengals. Yes the big time city of Orchard Park blew a fuse, reportedly from some balloons decorating a generator, and left the world (see: Charger & Bill fans) to scramble for alternatives. We found refuge with the Rock 105.3 team of Josh Lewin and Hank Bauer and it was a cool switch (pun intended). Although, if you take a look at my arm.......it IS the antenna! No amount of MacGuyver-ing could get it listening operationally like that of my arm simply squeezing the base of what was once the radio's antenna. Yes, my shoulder is tired. Before the live television feed returned...to ruin our day...we made some innocuous observations:

Best Radio Lines of the day:

"We think there is SOMEWHERE around 2:30 left in the quarter."--Josh Lewin

(That line was interchanged with many other pieces of time...we thought it to be funny.....never heard it mentioned during a game before today)

"That's like Billy Bardy tryin' to cover Manute Bol"-Hank Bauer

Describing the height mismatch between Bolts WR Malcolm Floyd and an obviously vertically challenged Bill CB.....all the more funny (to me) when you consider that a friend was challenged to a fight last year after the Padres/Red Sox series (game #2-the CY shutout) by a man who referred to my friend as.....Billy Bardy....on account of his height....Al, hopefully you understood the reference this time if you were listening on the radio....and you don't look like that little bastard :)

Interesting Texts During Blackout:

• Buffalo must have got hit with a lightning Bolt!
  

• How in 2008 does a fucking stadium have power issues? Is Buffalo in Russia?

• I blame George Bush for the power outage.

• ChargersaheadOOOOyea (very short lived sentiment)

• Disgusting (oh...that was at the end of the game)

Cheers Gentlemen....Where were the rest of you?

Back to the game and our requested recipe for disaster:

We suggested an egg-white omelet (i.e. scramble Trent Edwards Brain again).....mmmm......the guy carved us to pieces like Cecil the Butcher!

Win the turnover battle...mmmm....lost that badly...0-3.

We'll point to one sequence in the beginning of the fourth quarter which best describes 2008:

1st Down--15 yrd completion to Vincent Jackson
1st Down--Run
2nd Down--Run
3rd Down--Run
4th Down--Punt
...and so it goes.

We now fly to a part of the world that cannot comprehend why we play a game with our hands yet insist on calling it "FOOT"BALL. Do these sound like people who can be converted? Good move Goodell!

We have that London Debacle that awaits us and then two more trips to the EST, which obviously is an impossibility for us to win in. If the Broncos begin a free-fall we can catch 'em on December 27th and win the division at 8-8. Ahhhhh.....,the torture, that is being a San Diego Sports Fan......perhaps as a tortured group, the following should be our new blog logo:

Either this, or we can just altogether begin blogging about politics, the 2008 Vote, and how, to paraphrase Tyler Durden:

"Obama and McCain are just polishing the brass on the Titanic...it's all goin' down man."

We applaud your efforts, "to get out the vote", Ms. Alba and we concur with the sentiment: Censorship Is Un-American!.....Only You can silence yourself!.......We Enjoy the photos, they are Very tasteful!

As currently constituted.....two choices aren't much more than one.

If you're disaffected with your lack of choice then you should still vote......as a MEASURE OF PROTEST! It's the Patriotic thing to do!

Speaking of Patriotism...or The Patriot Act anyway.......watching the Chargers is like being water-boarded each Sunday......we might have to focus on another avenue of torture.....The 2008 Election....arghh...it seems like an epoch gone past since the hoopla began......

Stay Tuned!
