There's a law of the world that if it's a night of a holiday and
there's nothing to do, and it turns out that there's one football game
on that feels like a Godsend, that game will always, without
exceptions, turn out to suck.

Chargers haven't accomplished anything in 50 years. 50 years!!

Tiger Woods has just been named "Athlete of the Decade"
His chosen event? The Broad Jump.

Wrong!! The Chargers won the 1963 AFL Championship and made it to the
championship game 5 times in the 10 years of the AFL. They were led by the
greatest football coach of all time, Sid Gillman. The Chargers played such an
exciting and innovative game that the AFL succeeded in attracting and
maintaining a huge fan base and the best players. Thus the modern "Super Bowl"
era of professional football was made possible by the Chargers.
It is only fitting that the Chargers win the Super Bowl to celebrate 50 years of
greatness.

The important thing is it happened before I was born, so 45 or 50
years is inconsequential.

Like it was fitting for the Cubs to win the 2008 World Series?

They may have invented *a* West Coast offense but the renowned one is
credited to the 49ers.
Joe Curwen
Yeah. Bill Walsh.
Walsh's WCO is kind of the antithesis of Gillman's (and Al Davis's) vertical
passing attack.
On the other hand, people say that Hank Stram of the AFL West's Kansas City
Chiefs developed an early form of the WCO. He had a poor offensive line, a QB
with a mediocre arm and smallish running backs that couldn't do much between the
tackles. He added a lot of short, horizontal pass plays to get the backs out in
space and to help the QB get rid of the ball quicker. But it was Walsh who
developed this into a comprehensive offense.
