At the end of the 2005 season, the Chargers would let go a quarterback they believed to have a bum shoulder and was just going to end up ...

Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Matthew Hayden in NBA
Note: Please excuse my absence, my laptop has been broken for the last week, and I haven't been able to write. I will try to make up for lost time.
