Looks like God had a night off for the NFL’s “Golden Boy” and exploited the fact that Tebow has just been lucky, not skilled.  You can’t rush your way to QB greatness!  And with the Lions late game charge for a TD under the 2 minute warning bringing their score 28-27 against the Raiders, the AFC West is still a crapshoot.  Now let my Chargers get their game on for an almost perfect Sunday.  Ok, KC won too making them still somehow a favorite in the face of a weird 4 way tie, but I still don’t consider them a contender.  So please whoever I need to worship to, let SD take this one…

Well, yesterday. 23 again . And for my b’day, the Chargers finally came to play. Rivers was all smiles. Yeah dude, that’s what it feels like to win! Maybe you should try it more often. Guess I don’t have to burn this SD jersey after all. At least not yet…

The Broncos didn’t win last night’s game.  Sure, they had the higher score but it was really the Chargers game to lose- and that’s exactly what they did.

Maybe Turner/Rivers have a different game plan in mind than the one their fans were hoping for.  Perhaps they’ve decided to throw the season in hopes the rumors around moving to LA will disappear with the Chargers playoff hopes…  San Diego has few professional teams- in fact, the Chargers moved to SD after the 1960 season in LA.  The Padres don’t typically excite SD fans in the playoffs and the two NBA teams to ever grace SD arenas (Rockets, then Clippers) haven’t been San Diego teams since the 80′s.  I want to puke just thinking about supporting an LA football team so if the move happens, my Chargers jersey will probably burn like a Christmas tree after the new year.

I feel like a closet Chargers fan.  If Tebow handles the sinking SD defense (5 game losing streak…) like he did against the Jets last week, there’s going to be a big shakeup in the Chargers organization.  Rivers has thrown 17 interceptions and denies the rumors he’s hurt but you’d hope something is keeping him from looking like the QB he has in his career.  If they loose another game, Norv Turner should update his resume.

The Eagles are another team desperate for a win so the Pats better look to score quick and often- should be a good game to watch.

My SEMA “wtf” conversation (filled with awkward first date silences) occurred with a Performance Marketing Manager for GM.  I tell a guy that bleeds Chevy blue that all of my cars are Japanese sport compacts and he pretty much told me to talk to his hand.  I threw him enough girly charm until he at least appreciated our conversation more than the one he had earlier that morning with this guy, a dare devil that is looking for a 200mph ride behind the new Camaro on some rollerblades, probably not the kind I used to sell at Sports Authority.

So I had to look this dude up to see what nut tree incarnated such a whacko.  His website identifies his accomplishments, which I think are measured by simply not tattooing his skull into a ribbon of asphalt.

Basically, if you were to compare this guy to a car, he’d be a Nissan GTR:

0 – 100kph (0-60mph for you metric conversion challenged folk): 3.5 seconds (with VDC turned off on the GTR)

1/4 mile: 11.8 seconds

Top speed: 189mph (193mph with the GTR)

Now, I’d love to take a GTR for a ride that would shame any porn star but there is something about Mincemeat on Wheels that just doesn’t offer that same attraction.
