    At the league meetings Brandon Staley called john spanos “JoJo” LOL!!! So from now on I’m using JoJo when referring to mr johnny spanos…

    when I was teaching in La Jolla back in the 90s there was a nasty rumor going around that johnny spanos had raped a girl at his HS and that dean had to pull some strings to make it all go away…and it wasn’t the first time that he’d had trouble either there was another unrelated story in the UT back in the day about another incident that I think involved car racing or some such thing where someone had been horribly injured or something like that…I’m not saying any of it is true but I never heard any such thing about AG or any other member of the tribe…so it wasn’t like someone was out to get the family…just JoJo being JoJo, LOL…

    yeah, I got zero faith that JoJo can see past his ego to learn anything from TT, say whatever you want about TT but he’s a self made man and between him and JoJo, who do you think would still have an NFL job if Dean had to sell the team tomorrow?

      As for needing a speedy WR - Carter has signed with the Broncos so the need is even greater now. Jalen Guyton may not be back so it looks like we completely lack speed.
      agree... we need 3-4 to bring tio camp with goal of keeping 2 speed guys who can also do returns.

        Maybe we can get some help from the REO Speedwagon Foundation cause being a Charger fan has been a Bizarre Adventure!

          We need to find a modern-day Lance Alworth - that would put this offense over the top!!

            I would take prime Tony Martin or Anthony Miller at this point

            Bambi would be another level though - you got that right!

            My favorite Charger WR is still Jefferson.

              This is probably the single most important element Staley has brought to the team . . . . . .

                Jalen Guyton has speed too but it isn't that good, and he's likely to not be retained.
                Yep...never found out why T-Billy has bounced around so much...the talent is there...and towards the end of his stay with us, he was already starting to run a variety of routes besides the go...

                  Just realized - JoJo is not John Boy Spanos

                  JoJo is JoJo Wooden - assistant to Telesco

                    IMO, Alworth was better than JJ but JJ was very good, probably second best. Can't forget Charlie Joiner though. But, I agree - Martin or Miller would fill the bill too.

                      That would be Odell Beckham, Jr. in his prime.

                        What? Wes Chandler gets no love? He ran like deion sanders before deion sanders, has anyone made it look more effortless, I heard bambi ran like that too, but I wasn’t around then…
