Wheels Not Falling Off Thread

[Guest]

It's so frustrating that injuries are once again threatening to derail a season. How many times is this going to keep happening to us? Some of it is self inflicted for hoping that guys with injury concerns would hold up and they haven't. But some is just plain, dumb bad luck. Whatever it is, we just can't stay healthy year after year.

What does your wacky conspiracy theory have to do with Charger injuries? Or are they somehow causing our players to get hurt year after year?

Just going off this. None of the AFC West are large market teams

Well, maybe Oakland. After that we are all midmarket teams

Broncos' ownership is "big shit" in the NFL. I never liked Al Davis, but he was right about the NFL and Pat Bowlen. Shit's rigged in his team's favor. Remember when the Broncos used to get busted for totally cheating the salary cap? Instead of just negating the contracts, the Broncos were given slaps on the wrist. If there is a bigger group of cheaters in the NFL than the Patsies, it's the Donkeys. It's all fucking sketchy to me. Somebody mentioned the WWF. And, while not that pre-destined, it's still bad.

As far as who has a big market, I would think the Chiefs and Broncos both have huge markets. Chiefs share the entire Midwest with the Bears, Colts, and maybe the Rams. Rams are super new to the Midwest and the Colts are relatively new. Bears are the most popular in that region, but Chiefs are a close second. A lot of hicks don't want to be associated with a Chicago team, so the team they root for is the Chiefs. Broncos have the entire mountain time zone (not counting Arizona).
The Chargers - we're surrounded by a bunch of trailers in the desert, an ocean, the border and L.A., which had its own teams. Mexico, you would think, would support the Chargers, but it's a Cowboys/Raiders/Steelers country (well, really, it's a soccer country - but those who do like real American football aren't usually Chargers fans.)

The Raiders share the #2 media market size in the league with the 49ers, Denver is 15th, KC is 27th and San Diego is 28th.

Are the wheels falling off now?

The Chargers are just like the Terminator. No matter how many pieces you blow away, they keep coming at you, even if it's only part of an arm dragging a skull and a bit of spine. As long as the chip (Rivers) is intact, it isn't completely stopped.

LOL - I like this. Someone needs to make a Rivers/Terminator picture.

According to this Web site - http://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments..._2014_edition/ - San Diego has the smallest media market in the NFL. Kansas City's, while not one of the highest, is double the market size. Denver's media size is bigger. And Oakland's is four times our size.

Not exactly sure what that means other than I was probably wrong about KC and even Denver having a large media market.

Just don't think market size is something the game riggers care about. Don't know why, but the Donkeys have had preferential treatment since the late 90s. I know the owner, Pat Bowlen, had a lot of involvement in the business of the league back in the day.

Yes, the wheels have fallen off.
