If you really want all the details of the fake game against the Seattle Seahawks, I’m sure you already have them. Bolts won 18-17, improve to 2-1 in the preseason with one to go, and it sill doesn’t matter.
When one of two scenarios happen, then I will give preseason games their proper coverage:
Scenario 1: Tickets and concessions are half off.
Scenario 2: Starters play 4 quarters.
If the powers-that-be won’t give the fans a monetary break or entertainment value, I don’t see a need to dwell on the stats of a meaningless game predominantly played by many fine athletes, some of who will [...]

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, and the entire sports blog-o-sphere, is reporting that Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman will play this season.
A torn LCL and PCL in his left knee won’t keep the defensive star on the sideline. The injury will eventually need surgery, but Merriman feels ready for the Super Bowl run.
It’s a gamble, to be sure. But every second on the field is a risk, healthy or not.
You may now exhale, Bolt fans.

Several news outlets are reporting that Shawne Merriman is considering season ending surgery for two torn ligaments in his knee.
The Pro Bowl linebacker has a few options, one being playing through the pain, which could put his career in jeopardy. He can also opt for arthroscopic surgery, a temporary solution, would could have him back in the lineup come October.
Should Shawne keep on going or shut it down for the year?
I don’t have to tell you what an impact this will have on the Bolts. They have a very capable crew, but Merriman’s absence will resonate throughout the team for the [...]

The North County Times is reporting that Shawne Merriman has ligament damage in his left knee.
Merriman played in the preseason opener and hasn’t practiced since. He had surgery in the offseason. 
Dr. James Andrews, surgeon to the athletic world, will evaluate Merriman’s knee. No word on whether he will be on the field week one.
Chargers fans, start holding your breath. Potential disaster is brewing.

The St. Louis Rams beat the San Diego Chargers 7-6 in a really stellar… wait, who am I kidding? If you can believe it, the score doesn’t even touch how pathetically unwatchable the game was. Luckily plenty of Rams fans missed it, being the lowest attendance for a homegame since they left Los Angeles.
The Bolts trotted out three starters on offense. The Rams first team without Selfish Steven Jackson, who is holding his breath until a new contract is to his liking, still have not scored a preseason touchdown… for the past three years.
While Rams running back Travis Minor rolled [...]

I like football. I like movies. Naturally, when you combine the two, I am intrigued.
As I was pondering the pros and cons of pro quarterbacks, my mind kept drifting to those who have laced ‘em up on the big screen. To that end, I thought I’d take a moment and share my Top 5 Favorite Fake Quarterbacks, in no particular order:
 
Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves) in The Replacements (2000)
When the fake NFL is plunged into a work stoppage, replacement players are sought to fill the gap. Enter Shane Falco- infamous college choke artist who spends his time as a recluse living [...]

A fake game against some guys who will be jobless come September is still fun to watch. In the preseason, you just hope to win a game or two and get out of it with little or no injuries. So far, so good.
First team versus first team, the Cowboys definitely seemed more put together than the Chargers. Dallas quarterback Tony Romo was effective and their offense seemed game ready. I can’t imagine this team has slept well since their last game.
San Diego, on the other hand, looked shaky and went three-and-out on their opening series. Rivers was put down by [...]
