Jamal Williams, Ex-Charger – Current Donkey? Say it ain’t so…

March 9, 2010

Let me start by saying, I’ve been a huge fan of Jamal Williams through the years. One of the best nose tackles in the game, Jamal Williams has laid it all out on the line and I, like most Charger fans, appreciate everything he  has done for the Chargers and San Diego. I was saddened to see him be released.

That said… He signed with the Donkey’s and now he officially is a Donkey. NFL players always say, “no hard feelings, it’s all business – blah blah blah.” Exactly. It’s a business for players.

So this is more or less an open letter to Jamal Williams…

Fans  don’t get a paycheck, but believe me – it’s all business as well. No hard feelings Jamal, I don’t wish you any bad personally. I hope you have a healthy year and you and your family are safe and secure.

Football-wise, however, I wish you the very worst with your decision to sign with the cheap shot, garbage factory known as the Denver Broncos. I wish you good health , but a  horrible season. There were 30 other teams I wouldn’t have minded you signing with, and while I appreciate your contributions to the Bolts, may you miss every tackle, draw every penalty and suffer a winless season.

In the same way that it’s “no hard feelings” for you to jump across the division to a hated rival, it’s no hard feelings from Charger fans when they, hopefully, cheer your every disappointment while wearing the Denver Donkey colors.

Cromartie Jersey: Going Once, Going Twice…Anyone?

March 9, 2010

As seen on Chargers.com

Because I am such a loyal fan, who really does want to see this organization prosper, I am offering the Chargers  some help selling the left over Cromartie jerseys. I think they just need a little help selling, so I’ll offer the following copy suggestions free of charge.

Let’s see:

  • Antonio Cromartie official  game worn jersey; worn during the playoffs, still looks like new.
  • Antonio Cromartie’s official jersey, pay only $9.96 for each good year he had with the Chargers.
  • Hey kids, this jersey is game tested, with the ladies anyway… WARNING: Jersey does not prevent pregnancy.
  • Cromartie’s jersey is more safe than wearing full body armor, guaranteed to prevent contact for four years.
  • Cromartie’s jersey is priced right for Halloween, as long as you don’t want to go as a football player.

No need to thank me Chargers. I mean, they could use the jerseys to dress the tackling dummies, but the irony would be too thick since he was just a dummy that wouldn’t tackle. Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

Chargers Sign RB Marcus Mason, Williams Visits Denver

March 9, 2010

The Chargers claimed Marcus Mason off waivers from the Washington Redskins. Originally an undrafted free agent, who has been up and down from practice squads, Mason will face fierce competition by the time mini-camp roles around. Here’s what one Redskins fan blog says about Mason.

The Chargers will likely take at least two running backs in this years draft and with so many roster spots open, look for them to get every undrafted free agent hot shot running back lining up for a legitimate crack at making an NFL roster.

For years Jamal Williams was a defensive brick wall for opposing running backs (via Chargers.com)

In an unrelated bummer of a side note, nose tackle Jamal Williams visited the Denver Broncos recently. Will the Chargers try and bring Williams back at a lower rate? Will another team sign a 34 year old who has had a multitude of physical problems over the last few years? It would be tragic to see him in Denver, but I hope things work out for the best for a player who has given the Charger fans so much.
