Should I Divorce The Chargers Now Or Wait 'Til They Leave...

Should I Punt The Chargers Now Or Wait Until I See The Taillights?

  • Yep. The suck worse than ever and Spanos is an asshole.

  • Nope. Maybe Divine Intervention will change them. Wait and see.

  • Could be worse. Could be Cleveland.

  • Salmon with steamed vegetables. Sapporo beer.

  • Other.

As a life long Cubs fan, I believe that you cheer for the team you picked in childhood forever.

However, I have never had to deal with a relocating team.

I think you are stuck with the Chargers unless they move. At that point, I would not judge you for defecting somewhere else. They already abandoned you, you owe them nothing.


I grew up as a rabid Baltimore Colts fan but dropped them like a cheating girlfriend when they skipped town.

Love to hate the Indianapolis Colts.

Very happy that the Ravens won in 2000 but it's hard when they play against the Patriots.

I've changed my mind - wait and see. Who knows, maybe Spanos will sell the team and you'll get someone who knows what the hell they're doing. Happened in NE after the Sullivan's got out (with a couple owners in-between)

If you leave now, you'll lose the victim card you could have used. Pre-empting their potential move just makes you look unfaithful. Faithfully following a losing team that is taken away from right under your feet garners more sympathy, depth, and character. ;)

Gotta do what you can and hope for the best, even if the chances they stay aren't great.
No matter what happens though, Spanos can go to hell.
Exactly. Fire a 14-2 coach and keep a guy that went 4-12 and is 1-11 in division games the past two years. I wish we could keep the Chargers and ship him to LA.

I've accepted the fact that as long as the Spanos family has anything to do with the Chargers, we are doomed. You fire a 14-2 coach to hang on to a GM that was a complete asshole and helped bring in the Norv "I can't coach my way out of a paperbag" Turner era. I told my wife that I will at least pull for her Raiders when they don't play the Chargers. We went to at least three or four games a year, but I refuse to give that family another dime of my money.

The reality is while San Diego is a great city, it isn't a great sports city.

There's talk of a class action lawsuit against Dean Spanos by Charger fans for cruel and unusual punishment.

Cleveland at least has 7 championships - including AAFC and NFL championships ...

Chargers have one AFL championship - 1960.

Yep, I can't complain. When we get knocked out of the playoffs, I can go down to Mission Beach in December with family and friends and have a picnic to celebrate another wasted year.
