San Diego Super Chargers Song

I keep hearing the Chargers theme song on ESPN and in tributes and such. It's ridiculously awesome and yet catchy all at once. I think mention of it should be added to the wiki considering I'm sure most of you reading this know what song I mean.

Obviously you're referring to "Chargers Anthem" by the band P.O.D.  ;) 66.182.212.7 (talk) 04:07, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. The photographer took a lot of good pics. Just in case duplicate pictures are not created, I uploaded 4 of them — you can see them here. BlueAg09 (Talk) 03:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Rivals

How come there is no section dedicated to the Charger's rivals (Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Giants)? The Charger's/Raider's rivalry is one of the most heated rivalries in the NFL. The Colts and Patriots have become regular playoff rivals with the Chargers, and the Eli Manning incident ignited a rivalry with the Chargers and Giants. 71.10.230.146 (talk) 13:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the Chargers, Raiders, Broncos, and Chiefs altogether should be considered simply as "division rivals", however, the rivalries can and should be mentioned.

Early on, the Raiders viewed everyone as their rivals coining terms such as: "Raiders against the world". They may not likely have taken it as seriously as San Diego and it's fans. As far as the Patriots go, one could say the same of their "worldly" competitiveness. The Colts would be one of New England's biggest traditional rivals of the decade, but the same history is not as extended with the Chargers. The Patriots did eliminate the Chargers from the playoffs twice, including the AFC Championship game in 2007. There were also regular season games where there has been 2-1 edge to New England, but being that this isn't a consistent annual, it isn't considerable as any tradition that the term rivalry reflects.

However, the Indianapolis Colts have grown increasingly weary of this new San Diego team, extending back to the 2005 season. Consequentially, this was the last time Indianapolis had 13 undefeated wins, and the Chargers were visitors, spoilers, and not playoff bound that year. It is more considerable that this event may soon become a rivalry beyond 2009. It can also be argued, that this rivalry does in fact already exist to some extent for particular fans of both clubs. --Raisin212k (talk) 21:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

All teams seem to have a #1 rival in their division that stands out more than the others (Browns/Steelers, Giants/Eagles, Bills/Dolphins, Patriots/Jets, Packers/Vikings, Cowboys/Redskins). It seems that the Raiders/Chargers rivalry stands out the most in the AFC west, since both teams are vying for California bragging rights, the Raiders had that tenure in Los Angeles (city to city rivalry), and the fact that there are many native San Diegans that are Raiders fans. I think it would be noteworthy to list the divisional rivalries, with a note on the Raiders. I also agree that the Patriots and the Colts have become rivals as well. The Colts/Chargers rivalry reminds me of the Steelers/Raiders rivalry of the 70's. Ihe Miami Dolphins and the San Diego Chargers also had a rivalry in the early 1980's, when both teams were knocking each other out of playoff games. In regards to the Giants, a rivalry was established, due to the whole messy manning situation. This rivalry is mentioned by sports casters everytime the Chargers play the Giants. So a sub-section within the rivalries section can take note of the historical and newer rivalries like "The 1980's Dolphins Rivalry," "The 2000's Colts Rivalry," "The 2000's Patriots Rivalry," and "The Manning Era Giants Rivalry." Many other wiki pages for NFL teams note non-divisional rivalries, and even non-conference rivalries.68.116.166.71 (talk) 04:18, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

0-4 playoff Season

Changed: "The Chargers are the only team to start a season 0-4 and make the playoffs (1994)," to "The Chargers are the only team to start a season 0-4 and make the playoffs (1992)." They started their 1994 (Superbowl bound) season at 6-0. In 1992, they started 0-4, and made the playoffs.68.116.166.71 (talk) 03:47, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Former player

Was there ever a player with the San Diego Chargers by the name of Antonio McCoy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.25.156.42 (talk) 03:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
