Vince Lombardi would turn 97 this Friday, yet his legend is more alive today than it has ever been! The words "icon," "legend," and "genius" are way often overused in the U.S society. All too often we hear of legends being born for playing great football. Or musicians being referred to as "genius" for writing decent music. And commonly the word "icon" replaces the word "famous."

Is Ryan Matthews the next Ladainian Tomlinson? AJ Smith, Dean Spanos and Norv Turner seem to think so. Was he worth the no.12 overall pick in the 2010 draft?

Johnson has a lot of potential, but hasn't quite lived up to the hype as of yet due to injury. A former first-round pick in 2005, Johnson was selected 16th overall by the Houston Texans. He was picked up by the Chargers last August through a trade. He played in 13 games, registering 16 ...

Yeah, Chargers safety Kevin Ellison was arrested for possession of a controlled substance in Redondo Beach, California. Yes, he posted 10,000 dollars bail. This is what the media sells as a hot story. They wont even tell you "who" in the opening title.

Paging Dean Spanos: It's time to pay Vincent Jackson!! Yeah, he is way underpaid, and he's free to go anywhere he chooses.
