    Nick Canepa’s Report Card: Chargers miss chances in road loss to Bills (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Nick Canepa grades the Chargers following Sunday’s 24-16 loss to the Bills in Buffalo: Up 13-10 with 13:25 to play, Justin Herbert had a great chance to go up by 10. But he didn’t see a safety and was picked on the goal line. Once again, he will get the blame, but he needs his pass catchers to get open, and they’re having trouble doing that. A great opportunity wasted. Buffalo was beatable. The running game obviously was on Jim Harbaugh’s mind. Keaton Mitchell scored the first touchdown. He can

    Nick Canepa: Trading Justin Herbert would be foolish, no matter how ugly the Chargers’ start (opens the original)

    I’m not sure what a craw is, but it doesn’t matter. There is one on my person, somewhere. Do you want to know what gets stuck in mine? Idiots. So you know my craw is overflowing, stuffed. Idiots abound. They are, as Ballard Smith once called the media, like bleeping flies. It’s what Unsocial Media does. It breeds insects as aroused minks breed minks. Forget about forgiving them because they know not what they do. That was so 2,000 years ago. Anyway, there are people out there who think the NFL T

    Nick Canepa’s report card: Failing grades everywhere after Chargers’ stunning season-opening loss (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Nick Canepa grades the Chargers following Sunday’s 26-14 season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium: The Judases Judased. Justin Herbert had to start from an unexpected 7-0 hole. But once he got the ball in his hands, under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s tutelage, the train seemed to carry gravy. It didn’t. He had nothing. One of his worst starts, at home, vs. a team coming off a three-win season. Only three possessions and seven points in the first half? Not used ne

    Nick Canepa: San Diego is an NFL city; too bad city leaders left us without a stadium (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    The NFL Team That Used To Be Here — you know, the Judases — opens its season Sunday vs. Arizona in Los Angeles. The game should be here. Where it used to be. Where it belongs. Which L.A., with 12.8 million people around to disguise it as a great sports capital, is not. It’s a warm-weather destination for football fans from other places with cold-weather climes. I hate — always will hate — the Judases moving out of San Diego after more than a half-century of residency. People will get on my case

    Nick Canepa: Aaron Donald’s return makes Rams the NFL’s best team (on paper) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Sunday Game will enter its 107th season Wednesday, and, lo and behold, hooray and hallelujah, Aaron Donald once again is a Ram. So what looks like a cinch to be the best NFL team should be getting better. So much for the great defensive tackle, perhaps the best football player of this century — if he wasn’t, he was leaning at the tape — remaining cozy in retirement. Donald retired March 15, 2024, so he has missed two seasons, and of course three training camps. What we can’t know, at 35, is
