The Coach is KILLING Me!

Your I Can't Believe We Made the Playoffs at 8-8 Norv Face of the Week

Well, how about that?, originally uploaded by The Coach is Killing Me.

Just goes to show that even Norv can't keep a truly talented team down. I do feel bad for Chargers fans who now think they are Super Bowl bound -- *ahem* -- you are 8-8 and are only in the playoffs because of an epic collapse by the Broncos. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

Your Vaguely Zombie-Looking Norv Face of the Week

Man, Norval "Nutsack" Turner lives a charmed life. Keeps getting NFL jobs, could get into the playoffs at 8-8 -- I mean, this guy is a walking rabbit's foot.

Norval "Nutsack" Turner?

I want to start by saying I had nothing to do with this -- if I wanted to vandalize Norv's Wikipedia entry, I would have gone a more subtle route than changing his name to Norval "Nutsack" Turner. But it still makes me giggle. I did a screen capture above in case it has been fixed by the time you read this, and you can also look at this revision.

Even vacuous Playmates think Norv should be fired

Not sure if this makes me feel better or worse...

If Norv was your coach, you'd drink too

After the Chargers came back to beat the hapless Chiefs on Sunday, Kansas City Star columnist extraordinaire Jason Whitlock started his column this way:

The worst thing about the most embarrassing loss in the Carl Peterson era — a 22-21 miracle defeat to San Diego on Sunday — is the Chargers had no interest in winning it.

They came to Kansas City on Friday intent on partying and showing up at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon because their preflight-home itinerary required it. They kicked it at Bazooka’s, Power & Light and the Plaza before clearing their heads just in time to erase an 18-point second-half deficit and finish the Chiefs with two touchdowns in the final 73 seconds.

According to an article in the Union-Tribune, this caused a "firestorm." First, I find it hard to believe that anything surrounding the Chargers would cause a storm of any kind. No one really gets that excited about anything on this team, unless it's Rivers jawing with opposing QBs & fans. Second, if you had to travel to KC to play the sorry Chiefs in the cold and be led by the dynamo that is Norv Turner, wouldn't you try to drink yourself into oblivion? Thought so.

So, my message to Norv -- if you're not going to do your players the favor of quitting, at least let them drink & party in peace.

[And yes, any blogger writing about Jason Whitlock has to use that picture of him asleep on the couch. It's the law.]
