I loathe the Chargers and Norv’s an idiot.

And yes … “doo doo division” is spot on.

If there’s one thing I will always appreciate Bill Simmons for, it’s introducing the phrase “Norv Turner face.”

Stat guys hate Norv because it’s easier to do that than accept the fact that people win games, not glitzy numbers. San Diego’s talent has been overrated for the past 5 years. The people who are supposed to be their stars are often injured. Plus they play in a doo doo division.

I enjoyed the post. Normally, I enjoy “snarky Lisk” as much as anyone, then I read this:

And Norv returns for 2013.

I thought we were cool, man? Now this? I’m laughing thru the tears, or somesuch.

References to 1st round (and top 10 pick) bust TE’s always make my day.

I may be wrong but didn’t Marty Schottenheimer get canned because he couldn’t win in the playoffs? And now they keep bringing Norv back year after year?

I hope they keep winning just enough to keep him around. He’s the modern Wayne Fontes only way funnier.

I could give 2 shits about the Chargers, but this was by far the greatest team preview you’ve written Lisk. kudos.

I laughed out loud like three times. The Norv “My shit definitely does NOT stink” face is always funny as hell.

Randomly great pictures. But I’ll take it.

Kyle Brady even recorded his last 200 yard receiving season at age 31, then fell to 103 yards the next year

There were a lot gems in the post, but this tops it. One of the funniest previews the site has ever done.

Only Raider history forces me to hate a team more than I hate the Chargers.

I’ll be buried in the cold, cold ground before I accept Raider money.

Only Raider history forces me to hate a team more than I hate the Chargers. Watching Norv and Rivers fail is an annual highlight. Fuck them.

Manning + Champ + Elvis + Miller = 2 wins versus the Chargers.

I liked this post too. You sacrificed a long, wordy post for giant pictures of Norv Turners comically pock-marked visage.

Related Charger News: AJ Smith is a terrible GM.

Yes he is. And he’s also a giant asshole.

I really enjoyed this preview. Good stuff Lisk! I like Ingram as a potential Rookie DPOY.

Look for his stellar working of the game officials and decision making in close games to continue.

Oh yes, the infamous Norv-Turner look. It spawns about the same level of confidence as the Wade-Phillips look.
