Wild game. With LT injured and largely ineffective (as he usually is this time of the year), most people weren't giving the Chargers much of a chance against MVP Peyton Manning and his white hot Patriots. What followed was a gritty performance by an undermanned San Diego, and an early exit for a streaking Indianapolis team that had legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. It wasn't always pretty - the only consistently good looking things about the game were Mike Scifres' punts - but the scrappy Chargers managed to overcome Tomlinson's injury thanks to the diminutive Darren Sproles and his brisk forays into the end zone. Not bad for a .500 team.I didn't spend all that money to fly home and sit in front of the tube, but damn, I've really missed football. On an unrelated note, I was initially planning on doing another semi-comprehensive top albums of the year list, but 2008 just really wasn't that good of a music year for me. I'll probably have a list up in some shape or form, but I simply don't have the time or energy right now to do blurbs for albums that I thought were merely pretty good. I'll see what I can muster.
