Disappointing loss for the San Diego Chargers


Yesterday my home team was playing the Denver Broncos for the AFC championship. Everyone here in San Diego was really excited because it's been a long time since the Chargers were in the AFC playoffs and most San Diegans were looking for the Chargers to win. Sad to say that the Chargers ended up losing the game 24-17.  I watched the 3rd quarter and they were losing 17-0 so I changed the channel. They played very poorly and it didn't look like the Chargers that I know of. Obviously Chargers fans are not happy and will have to wait another season. I personally didn't want to get my hopes up too high because they seem to do this every year and let us Charger fans down so do you blame me for the way I feel? At work the other day, my co-worker larry and me where discussing about the upcoming playoff game with another coworker who was expecting the chargers to win but Larry and I were doubtful that San Diego could pull off such a win and I guess we were correct on this one. I'm sure a lot of people lost a lot of money on the chargers. How do you feel about the San Diego Chargers losing?

Superbowl win for the New York Giants

Yesterday when I went to work I was able to catch a quarter or two of the New England Patriots New York giants Superbowl game. I was hoping that the New England Patriots would win but was shocked when it came down to the wire and I learned that New York Giants won again. That really disappointed me a lot. I really thought the Patriots would pull this one off but you can't win a Superbowl when you keep dropping passes to your wide receivers. For New England it was too many missed opportunities and New York played much better. This was the second time that New England has lost to New York in a Superbowl contest in the last two years. I'm a San Diego chargers fan because I live in San Diego but I also grew up in Massachusetts so I have some New England history in me too. I don't know what to say about two of y favorite football teams since both of them didn't walk away winning. Oh, well. I guess we'll have to wait for the next season to come.

An Icelandic team that must spend hours practicing goal celebrations



The video above is already spreading like something involving Justin Bieber and is being described as the greatest goal celebration ever. In it, Icelandic club Stjarnan wins in extra time off a penalty kick from Halldor Orri Bjornsson, giving the team reason to unleash a performance that involves Halldor fishing for his human fish teammate Johann Laxdal ("lax" means salmon in Icelandic). Once "caught," the players lift up Laxdal for a fake picture and thus complete a perfectly executed and delightfully intricate goal celebration that probably took more than a little preparation.

While this is their best, it's not the only display of well-arranged goal celebrating from the Stjarnan boys. The same YouTube user who uploaded this clip on Monday also posted a few more of the same team.
