But it’s still a fight that happened during the Raiders-Chargers game over the weekend, and it’s still awesome. Observe the pack of Raiders fans outside of the natural habitat and producing their mating call of “F#ck The Chargers!” The grounds soon become hostile as the native creatures of that land swarm into attack position. They fight in groups, which is great for holding a guy down and mashing his face into oblivion, as depicted here. Hey, he’s from Oakland. How much of a face did he have to begin with?

Watch the whole thing, with unimpressive commentary from the guy with the camera, after the jump.

Philip Rivers threw four touchdown passes to get San Diego past the Denver Broncos last night, 35-14. Jon Gruden told me that those teams don’t like each other, so I guess it must be true. The Chargers pulled to within a game of the Kansas City Chiefs with a complete game in all three phases.

“This was the most complete game we’ve played in all three phases,” Rivers said. “We are in a lot of ways in playoff football already. You almost can’t afford a step back at this point.

“We haven’t peaked,” added Rivers, who leads the NFL with 3,177 yards passing and has a chance to break Dan Marino’s single-season record of 5,084 set in 1984. “I don’t think we’re playing at 100 percent, but we’re playing pretty good.”

–Y! Sports.

Rivers still may not have had the most impressive toss of the evening, a distinction which belongs to Chargers punter Nate Scifries, who completed a 28-yard pass on a punt fake in the first quarter, which you can watch on the next page. Jeez, I love fake punts. It’s like a game of “Madden” come to life, without a 12-year-old squawking into your headset.

Former NFL superstar Junior Seau drove his vehicle off a cliff after being charged with domestic violence over the weekend. How unusual for an athlete to service his lady first, and then get his.

Details are still coming in: Seau drove his white Cadillac Escalade off a cliff in near Carlsbad, CA, where he was released from a San Diego County jail on suspicion of domestic violence. Seau’s injuries from the crash are not known at this time.

But yeah, there’s your Toonces photoshop. Hope it was worth the wait.

Most of us remember that lawsuit in November involving San Diego Chargers defender Shawne Merriman and that one crazy Asian broad whose name escapes me. That suit was settled earlier in the year, but this episode might take a bit longer to sort out. Tequila was an onstage guest at a concert called the Gathering of the Juggalos, an event which sounds like a great place to go if one were looking to literally get the piss beaten out of oneself.

Tila gave TMZ a very detailed account of what happened, saying: “I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-0-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage.”

“But what about you? Now you have sh*t and piss all over your hands!”

“Small price to pay for the smiting of one’s enemies.”

ASYLUM POLL: How bad do you feel for Tila Tequila?

Oh, but there’s more. Read the rest of this entry »

The Jets have acquired Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie in a trade for a conditional pick in 2011. Yep, one pick. That’s so unfair that half the guys in my fantasy football league are emailing Roger Goodell to complain.

Cornerback depth was among the most pressing needs for the Jets. Although they ranked first in the N.F.L. in pass defense last season, the Jets needed a starting cornerback opposite Darrelle Revis, especially after Lito Sheppard was released. –The Fifth Down.

It’s worth noting that Cromartie hasn’t been the ideal professional during his four years in San Diego; he owes money in traffic fines and child support. He has seven children with six women in five different states and a partridge in a pear tree. No, seriously, that is one potent dude.

The Chargers have parted ways with LaDainian Tomlinson, who had a 30-year-old body and a $2 million roster bonus due next month. The five-time Pro Bowler leaves San Diego with over 16,000 all-purpose yards, all with the Bolts, and the speculation has already begun as to where he’ll end up next. But it’s not impossible that Tomlinson could return to the Chargers. The bidding for Tomlison’s services, which netted 3.3 yards per carry last season, shouldn’t be terribly high, and it might be in Tomlinson’s interests to stay.

Either way, we can certainly forget about LT as that first-round fantasy draft choice, and that’s probably how most of us would like to remember him–as a dude that did little else than simply churn out 1,400 yards and 14 TDs every year. Now that LT’s days of dominance are over, to whom should we hand his fantasy football crown? And if you say Peyton Manning, I’ll ban you from this site forever.
