Chargers is healthy

It's said that if the Chargers want ot clean their path when they are against Oakland Raiders on Sunday, they need to keep healthy all the way.
Coach Norv Turner was optimistic with the situation .he said that only 3 players not practice on Friday and at least one of them can wear his chargers jersey and play against the Raiders.
with an ankle injury,linebacker Kevin Burnett will be absent at the game.He has not practiced all the week and it's very questionable for him.The same thing happened with Defensive tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo.Tim Dobbins who really did good job last week will replace Burnett.
I like the Chargers.

Can Walter Jones write the legend?

"It is too early for a career eulogy, but the excellence of Walter is probably unparalleled at that position in the history of the game. His level of consistency, his level of excellence, is unmatched."Jim Mora said. This sweet comment was for Walter Jones .
The 35-year-old Jones went on Seattle's injured reserve list Wednesday finally.His left knee may cant bear any more tortures. Because this is the nine-time he has been there.
"The pain never did leave," Jones said, mindful of how poorly he played last Thanksgiving Day. He started with the aid of painkilling injections, then watched quarterback Matt Hasselbeck get sacked seven times by the rampaging Dallas Cowboys.The pain becomes worse from a kidney condition diagnosed when he was a rookie back in 1997.From then on , the guy almost live up with the anti-inflammatories to fight fo the pain and swelling.
"I'm not going to step on that football field again until I am comfortable in this knee," Jones said."I know I can still go out there and compete with the best of 'em."
"We are going to let him heal up, have whatever procedures our medical staff feels is necessary and then we'll evaluate early next year," Mora said. "I'll say this: Walter has done everything that is humanly possible to get back and help this football team. ... But it's just not happening."
I hope he can return again.

Chiefs’ Johnson always does something

The Kansas City Star reported on its Web site that Larry Johnson(notes) used a gay slur for the second time in as many days Monday.
A day after the Chiefs’ 37-7 home loss to the Chargers,He muttered the slur in telling reporters to get “out of here,” according to the Star, which recorded the comment.
Later,Johnson belittled rookie head coach Todd Haley on Twitter in a series of posts that also included the same gay slur.
The tweets were posted to the “Toonicon” account, an online alias the Star reported Johnson has said is his. The account includes a link to Johnson’s personal Web site. Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore said the team could not verify that is Johnson’s account. Most of the remarks are focused on the coach Haley.Johnson’s response include a three-letter gay slur. The final post read: “Make me regret it. Lmao. U don’t stop my checks. Lmao. So ‘tweet’ away.”Johnson then was sentenced to two years’ probation after pleading guilty to two counts with incidents involving two women in bars.
A judge earlier said if Johnson finished the probation period without further incidents he could remove the guilty plea.

Mike Smith

Smith, who led the Falcons to a surprising playoff berth last season and has the team off to a 3-1 start this season, tops that off by handing out books on leadership and personal growth.First,he knows how to run his team with the right guy.For example,As a head coach, he empowers different people to do things.he uses (Winston) because he has a different relationship with those players.That guy can really set a tone for how the team is going to work every day, as he’s the first guy they see when they come in on Wednesday for the special teams meeting."I know that he has a great feel for how to run the meeting. I’ll stick my head in there, but it’s his meeting. If it needs to be fire and brimstone, it’s fire and brimstone. He sets the tone." Secondly,he has a mechanism to help players deal with all the non-football issues that go with playing in this league.Such as Falcon University ,the Rookie Club and so on to refresh the players.Smith said:"Different guys learned about different situations. Maybe it was dealing with a girlfriend or dealing with an old girlfriend or dealing with a father that was out of the picture and maybe came back in. Whatever the situation, there are so many dynamics that they need direction and a place to go to find out how to deal with a problem. They need assistance and a person to bounce that off, someone who’s not necessarily a coach. It’s bouncing it off somebody who is in a
different area and that’s something that really helps them grow and ultimately help the team."

Owens meet his challenges

“I hear that he’s one of the greatest of all time, but I don’t buy it – never did,” “He drops balls. He’s not a natural catcher. He’s not a great route runner, blah, blah, blah. He’s big and strong and good with the run after the catch, if he catches it. I can give you 100 negatives. It’s just not worth it."These words come from a general manager. It seems a bad situation for Owens.whatever,In fairness,Owens has lost off his game has been made exponentially worse by some of Buffalo’s other decisions.Such as franchise traded anchor offensive tackle Jason Peters(notes) to the Philadelphia Eagles in April. One people cant make a tango.Clearly, Owens is a player with a gauntlet of concerns that make him a shaky commodity.The evaluators make such a comment on him:it’s not an issue of the walls he builds inside the locker room, but rather the
walls he runs into once he leaves it.
