Did you know Brett Favre is quarterback of the New York Jets now, lol.
You probably haven’t heard it more than 10,000 times on ESPN … and 20,000 times elsewhere.

So much seems to point in Favre’s favor:
He is 5-0 vs. the ChargersHe beat them in Week 3 last year in Green Bay (this happens to be Week 3)He’s almost always at his best on Monday Night Football
Well, there is another way to look at this.
The Chargers are 0-2, playing in a nationally televised night game.
The last time that happened was in 2005, when Eli Manning and the New York Giants came to town.
Manning was booed unmercifully for his disparaging comments the year before […]

Right on.
It would be shocking if any of the Pips among the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs or Oakland Raiders overtake the Chargers this season in the AFC West.
Perhaps the bigger question is whether the Chargers can begin their season with a 5-0 record … at the very least.
They’re already a 10-point favorite at home for the Sept. 7 season opener at home against Carolina, which will be without leading (and suspended) receiver Steve Smith.
Then comes a Sept. 14 contest at Denver, where the Chargers haven’t had much success over the years but did win 41-3 last season. It won’t hurt that Broncos’ leading receiver Brandon Marshall […]
