Fantasy football players who watched LaDainian Tomlinson turn in a rare scoreless effort in their championship games last week are certainly still bitter, but things are looking up for LT owners whose leagues wrap up Sunday. They've got the odds in their favor -- surely LT won't have two straight duds in a season that has seen him score a record 31 touchdowns and lead the NFL in rushing. They also have the schedule- makers on their side, with the Chargers facing hapless Arizona in a critical game.
From news services The San Diego Chargers worked out in Tempe, Ariz., waited and wondered Thursday where and when they will play their next game.
Just past the midway point of the fantasy regular season, it's time to project and predict which players will carry teams or kill hopes the rest of the way: Ryan Mathews bounces back, surpasses 1,000 yards -- Forget last week's eight-carry, 15-yard showing. It doesn't get easier than the Chargers' schedule down the stretch for an NFL running back.
SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers are running headlong into the Murderers' Row portion of their schedule. The Chargers don't have long to savor their 45-23 victory over Eli Manning and the New York Giants on Sunday night because their next game opens a stretch in which they will face three of the four teams that made it to the conference championship games last season.
One bad thing about bye weeks in the National Football League: It can take some of the most exciting teams out of action and water down the schedule. There are 12 NFL teams with winning records after six weeks. Five of the 12 -- the Patriots 5-1 , Bills 4-2 , Bengals 4-2 , Giants 4-2 and 49ers 5-1 -- will be among the six on the sidelines this week. The Eagles and Michael Vick 2-4 also have the week off. That limits the spotlight to a few intriguing games. San Diego's visit to the New Jersey Meadowlands to face former Chargers hero LaDainian Tomlinson and the New York Jets tops the Week Seven schedule. A loss could knock the Chargers out of the AFC West lead. If the Jets don't win they would be three games in the loss column behind first-place New England in the AFC East. At...
Green Bay The opponents are known, as is the day and time of the first game of the Green Bay Packers' exhibition season. The Green Bay Packers will play home games against the San Diego Chargers and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and road games against the Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans.
Thus far in this young football season the San Diego State Aztecs have again been victims of their own misguided scheduling practices. And things don't look to get a whole lot better any time soon. While the Chargers schedule features more cream puffs than a French bakery, the San Diego State Aztecs schedule (at least so far) appears as if it was designed by the Marquis de Sade. It's an Aztec tradition. No wonder they haven't won a bowl game since the early days of the Nixon administration.
Kansas City. Larry Johnson owners can't like seeing the Ravens and Chargers on the schedule in Weeks 14 and 15. But this is L.J., and he'll get through it. Then, he'll pound Oakland in Week 16. Owners should worry about Kansas City's passing game during this stretch instead.
NEW HAVEN -- If you take a stroll down memory lane with me to the 2000 college football season -- when the University of New Haven beat up on Southern Connecticut State to the tune of 56-7, Owls coach Rich Cavanaugh was predisposed to let the natural rivalry die right there on Jess Dow Field that November night. New Haven didn't drop its football program until after the 2003 season, but Cavanaugh's words proved prophetic, as Southern dropped New Haven from its schedule in each of the Chargers' final three seasons before New Haven dropped its program. With that disassociation as the backdrop to Friday night's renewal of the football rivalry between the Owls and Chargers after a nine-year absence, the dynamics of the rivalry have changed dramatically, and for the best in the long term.
