At Least There is a Draft
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Jeff Burke.
In the midst of all the turmoil that is the NFL right now I choose to stick my head in the sand and still get excited about the upcoming draft. And if the Chargers run on the field come August for pre-season football, it will be with the benefits of having the second-most picks in the first three rounds, only being outdone by the pick-hoarding Patriots. They will no doubt trade some away again ...

Tempered Expectation
Posted on 4 Mar 2011 by Jeff Burke.
When I first heard the news that the Chargers were getting Bob Sanders, my thoughts instantly were of a dynamic force in the Chargers secondary of Eric Weddle and Sanders dominating the opposition. While that is more than a possibility, and will be the case if everything continues to line up, now being 24 hours removed from the news I have come back to earth a bit. The news first is that the ...

Let’s Talk Draft Needs
Posted on 14 Feb 2011 by Jeff Burke.
Let me be honest with you, one of my biggest guilty pleasures is the NFL Draft. To say that I love it would be a drastic understatement. This time of year I eat, drink and breath draft coverage. I don't know what it is- whether it is the possiblity of snagging that sure thing in the first round like Ndamukong Suh last year, or hitting on an un-drafted player like the Packers did with corner ...

Padres Pitching
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Jeff Burke.
The Padres will only go as far as their pitching will take them. So will the Padres pitching staff be able to match their efforts from the year prior? The only reason the Padres were a team above .500 last year was in large part due to the strong and unexpected season from Mat Latos, along with the consistent outings from Garland and Richard. Although the padres used their deep bull-pen ...

Aztec’s Rebounding
Posted on 9 Feb 2011 by Jeff Burke.
Since the Aztecs received their first loss of the season at BYU, they have rebound and played quit well of late. The Aztecs have now won four straight games in conference play, including a 56-54 thriller at CSU, in a very good game against a good team. D.J. Gay made a jumper with 1.6 seconds left on the clock, which sealed the deal for the Aztecs. If the Aztecs want to go far in the NC...

A Tale of Two Half’s
Posted on 27 Jan 2011 by Jeff Burke.
The Aztecs have relied on coming out strong in the second half of their games many times this year, to either come from behind and win or put teams away down the stretch with a huge second half run. This was not the case for the number four ranked Aztecs yesterday. In the biggest game of the year, when they needed it the most and after a strong performance in the first half the boys fai...

Compelling Argument
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Jeff Burke.
With the Padres shipping off all-star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez this off-season, it brings up the question. Can the Padres offense really be more productive after loosing the best player we have seen since Tony Gwynn? So much of the Padres offensive production has come from Adrian Gonzalez over the past few years that it is scary to think how the Padres will score runs without him, or i...

Chargers @ Broncos Preview
Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
As the Chargers play their last game of the season, it will be their first meaningless game of the season. I have already heard some Chargers fan say; “We might as well loose this game and get a better draft pick.” The fact of the matter is, the team wants to play well and win every game. They are professionals and they prepare hard every week to try and win every game. A fr...

A Lost Season
Posted on 27 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
Every year the Chargers play and they don't end it with a super bowl victory, I think to myself that it was another lost opportunity and another lost season. Every year, I expect the Chargers to make the playoffs, win some playoff games, and hopefully make it to the Super Bowl. This year that will not happen as the Chargers were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday. T...

Chargers @ Bengals Preview
Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
All of us Chargers fans will most certainly have one eye on the Chargers game this week and the other eye on the Chiefs and Titans game. I am in the finals of my fantasy football league and I need another big performance from Chris Johnson this week, so we can all go ahead and Cheer for him to run all over the Chiefs. This is one of those times of year when everything is all so enjoyable....

Another Dominating Performance
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
After ripping apart the Chiefs last week, the Chargers came out and gave another dominating performance on prime time against the playoff hopeful Niners. The Chargers did not quite match the dominating stats of the Chiefs win the week before but they sure came close. At some points in the game it looked like deja vu. I think the Chargers played better against the Chiefs, while the Niners ...

Chargers VS. Niners Preview
Posted on 15 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
The Chargers and Niners are ready to get after each other on prime time Thursday night football. A game with playoff implications for both the AFC and NFC West. The loser of this game will have a very hard time making the playoffs for their respective division. I have noticed that the offense usually has a big advantage in these early week games on Thursday. So look for a lot of poin...
