you just break my heart ….

…. CHARGERS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

I open up my heart to you — just a little bit — because you were pretty good to it last year and this is the thanks I get? THIS? This 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles? A game you were losing, THEN WINNING, with 2:25 left in the game, THEN LOSING after an attempted field goal was blocked and run back an unreasonable number of yards by some Eagle fellow for a touchdown.

Of course, moments later, you had a chance to AT LEAST tie the game, perhaps score, but, NO, you wieners, you FUMBLED THE BALL and it was recovered by one of those wretched Smeagols!

I hates them!!

And take your pick which team I mean when I say that.

How can you be so good and be so BAD, Chargers? You don’t deserve me and my foolish, screaming devotion. You’ve now lost 4 games by a total of only 12 points and my feeble heart can’t take it anymore. Are you trying to lose me to Figure Skating on Sunday afternoons? Don’t you want me anymore? You say you want my love, but I just don’t feel it. I don’t believe it anymore. All those promises. The promise of LaDainian. The promise of a stellar defense. The promise of a fearless Drew Brees and his magic mole. I feel so … alone and stupid and betrayed.

You leave me no choice but to cheat on you, find a team that will not abuse my love, not disdain my devotion, not force me to chow down mindlessly on Cheetos out of sheer angst and horror.

Hellloooo, Indianapolis and your sweet, sweet 7-0!!

  1. Deep breath, T. I’m sure they’ll play better once they move to Los Angeles… 😉

    BTW, my 13 year old is a Packers fan. He was home watching his beloved Green Bay-ians yesterday while we were watching his brother play ball. When the Pack lost on a 56 yard field goal at the gun, he lowered his shoulder to throw a frustrated shoulder block on the wall in the hallway. He put a hole in the dry wall the size of my fist.

    Deep breath. Deep breath.

  2. Fixing the hole is my job. My wife doesn’t like rookies doing construction work in the house.

    Still wondering why she expects me to do it then… 😉
