Ok, so there I am, just generally surfing the information superhighway on a laptop in front of the tv. I leave it on, mostly for white noise. Here, I know, I make a poor life decision and leave it on espn's nfl recap show. Yes, right there, two huge mistakes -- espn and nfl. Alas I digress.
Chris Berman is a man-child of an idiot. He mentions the Ed Hoculi call from week 2, which sent the Chargers on a downward spiral in need of direction, and says that now, after several weeks it has blown over. Now that the Chargers are facing a rematch to close the season, this time in Denver, with Denver at 8-7, and the Chargers at 7-8, it is a moot point.
Nevermind the fact that it should be (at least from values we actually can accurately deduce) the 8-7 Chargers looking to hold off the 7-8 Broncos in Denver to enter the playoffs.
It is not a moot point. The Chargers now have to win on the road in a very hard road stadium in order to win the division, as opposed to maintaining the division lead, they must leapfrog.
This does not even begin to quantify the psychological effect the jarring loss had on the Chargers. A defiant struggle to the finish was handed to the loser in week 2, and in addition to feeling exhausted, the Chargers felt defeated.
They have since gotten over that, but the point is they shouldn't have had to.
Chris Berman, please think before you speak, before you even open your mouth. I find it hard to believe you're thinking while uttering phrases such as "rumbling-bumbling-stumbling" and "woop". I realize it is just a re-cap show, and thus does not have any in depth journalism of any kind, but that is no excuse for idiocy and moronitude.
