The Los Angeles Chargers have done nothing but lose, every single season seemingly no matter how talented the team is, even with great NFL players like Justin Herbert and Dan Fouts, the Chargers constantly fall short. Since the Chargers were founded, they've always been like this and things have only gotten worse over the years so join me as we go back in NFL history and figure out how the Chargers became the most cursed franchise in the NFL. Anyway, if you enjoyed this video, then like and comment if you want, and you can even subscribe if you think I've earned it.
Thatsgoodsports had pushed his luck too far and now Barry McCockiner was closing in with new NFL highlights that brought other football stories NFL players shared on the Pat Mcafee show. His sword had blood dripping off it, and urinatingtree brought several types of football analysis from Mikerphone, giving a ton of NFL news to people like Brandon Staley. I remember when Dean Spanos moved the San Diego Chargers to Los Angeles and took Tom Grossi for ransom.

59:25 Another thing that should be mentioned is that while Junior Seau's death is tragic and heartbreaking, he wasn't the only one. In fact, at least *NINE* players from the 1994 Chargers team that made it to the Super Bowl have passed away via absolutely bizarre circumstances or tragically died much younger than expected. Eight of the nine players died before they would've been 45 years old. Here are all of the players who have passed away so far: • Linebacker David Griggs, who died in a single-vehicle car accident in Florida in 1995 (just five months after Super Bowl 29). He was 28 years old. • Running back Rodney Culver, in 1996 he and his wife were on a flight that crashed in the Florida Everglades and killed all 110 people aboard. He was 26 years old. • Linebacker Doug Miller, who died in 1998 because he was struck by lightning *TWICE* while camping in Colorado. He was 29 years old. • Center Curtis Whitley, who died of a drug overdose in his trailer home in 2008. He passed away just one day after his 39th birthday. • Defensive end Chris Mims, who was found dead in his apartment in 2008 and was believed to have died of cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart. He weighed 456 pounds when he died at just 38 years old. • Defensive tackle Shawn Lee, who died of cardiac arrest resulting from double pneuonia (he was also a diabetic). In 2011 he passed away at just 44 years old. • Linebacker Lewis Bush, who passed away from a heart attack in 2011. He was just 42 years old. • Linebacker Junior Seau, who committed suicide in 2012 at just 43 years old. He was the heart and soul of the Chargers throughout the 1990's and early 2000's and is probably the best player in franchise history. Most of these deaths are either linebackers or defensive linemen. Is that a coincidence? I'm not sure. • Center Courtney Hall, who passed away in 2021. There have been many chokes, collapses, and disappointments in Chargers history (seriously how did Marlon McCree fumble that ball?) but these tragedies have me 100% convinced that this team is truly cursed. God help this team.

Philip Rivers is my first cousin. I was in 8th grade in 2006, and after watching him play on a very average college team for four years before being a backup for two, we were all so excited to see them be the best team the year he became the starter. I vividly remember being sick with the flu watching that patriots game, too cold to leave my blanket while the chargers tore out my heartstrings with some really dumb football. For fourteen years it was a few highs followed by very low lows. Happy for Philip though and he's enjoying the coaching life. I love all your videos, sir, and thank you for making this.

This year I have now been a Charger fan for 50 years, the fact that I am New Mexico and back in the 70's,all I could do was watch the scores as bottom of tv as we watched the Cowboys, Got 3 brother's all Cowboy fans. My teen years Coryell became coach and I was flying high with air Coryell. Though my heart was broken , never in my wildest dream 40 -44 ,years later would I have been told that we still be seeking are first super bowl win. I guess I become pretty good at knowing when the Chargers are going to blow it. When the Chargers we're up on Jaguar's with a big lead I knew I was in for a heart break, I actually turned off the TV cause I need they were going to loose ,and I could not take the heart break. If you know football you would of know this , I played ,and I remember playing a team that we could not stop. They kept turning ball over , I played defense, though we won after game I knew that team was better , players know , With all that being said I love my team ,Though I never have watched them Play live which is a dream of mine since I was 10,(against Dallas if I had choice at home) some one help my dream come true. I can now watch them play every game. The worst way for us to loose in my opinion is when we loose cause of a coaching or a bad call by a ref.. The games that I know could go either way there tough on me ,the heartbreaks don't get any easier to take , there is no getting use to it. They actually get harder!!!! All I want is to know how it feels when your team is the SuperBowl Champs ,I always told myself I would subscribe to sports illustrated,to get the gifts ,don't know if they do that anymore. Heck I could go on for ever when talking about my team. I will know when we have that Super Bowl team when I see them , I believe there in the right path , but feel Rivers didn't get the effort they seem to be doing for Herbert.Thats is a whole another book.(story). Herbert is a God sent. Young man as great a quarterback and even a better human being.Think he will take us to the promise land!!!. Go Chargers Chargers for life fan here in New Mexico.

@LightiningHobo 7 месяцев назад

"knowing when the Chargers are going to blow it." Sometimes I feel the same way. Other times I wonder if that is some form of trauma. Maybe that feeling is not real, past experiences mold your brain and it tells you of repeating patterns. But due to trauma, you start seeing patterns where there isn't. Because history does not repeat itself, things might look similar, but it's always new. The only problem is that it can only be proven it's not just trauma if the chargers break the mold and win. And if they win, and there's no mold anymore, how do you prove there was a mold in the first place? In other words, it's all nonsense in the end and we can't forget to appreciate the fun in discoursing about nothing.

@jacobwilliams1223 7 месяцев назад

I appreciate you clarify that the Chargers in 2010 led in only yards on offense and defense. So many people run with "CHARGERS HAD THE #1 OFFENSE & DEFENSE EVER!" when talking them but those stats need context. Great video as usual.

Justin Herbert's body language reminds me so much of Marcus Mariota. He used to always walk with his head down in practice and seemed passive just like Herbert. He wasn't like that his first year or 2 it seemed to have gotten way worse as he started getting hit and injured more and more.

The Chargers , they can be good one year but then choke at the end , but they'll be bad the next year or so , the cycle repeats it's self

This video was on point, the best Chargers organization videos I've ever seen. Truly captures Chargers teams from a life long (40 years and counting) Charger fan. (But since leaving San Diego, they won't get any of my money, but I still watch them on TV and they are my team)

Excellent retrospective and commentary on a truly cursed franchise. Been a suffering fan since Fouts was under center, and you captured the highs and lows of this team very well. Chargers have mastered choking like no other team!

Keep this in mind folks. at one point the Chargers have Drew Brees, LaDanian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Junior Seau on the same team. that's a Hall of Fame list right there. but somehow they didn't accomplish anything!!!!!

@DanielAranda-ct1jj 7 месяцев назад

You were right in about the punter being the MVP of the playoff win over the Colts, To me the best game ever by a punter in NFL history by far. If you haven't watched the game I highly recommend it. He was amazing. Yes the punter was amazing!

@VerveQuest-zc4ri 7 месяцев назад

Brady made it to the Championship Game that year with wrs Doug Gabriel, Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney and a retiring Troy Brown that year. One of the worst. WRs rooms ever. Bellicheck finally relented in the off season and traded for Moss

@seanmcnally4818 7 месяцев назад

It's hard to say, but there are good arguements. The Good: 1963 AFL Champs, The Miami Steam Bath, 1994 AFC Champs The Bad: The Freezer Bowl, 14-2 one & done in 2006, Rivers playing with torn ACL, The Choke at Duval The Ugly: Ryan Leaf, Eli Manning getting drafted, Destroyed in Super Bowl XXIX I'm sure there's more, but that's all i can think of right now.

@vasiliosthomas4883 6 месяцев назад

It was so satisfying. Don't watch the NFL any longer, but if the Chargers lose, its an even sweeter Sunday.

@daveatkins3796 5 месяцев назад

@@vasiliosthomas4883 You did yourself a favor. Sports is an abusive relationship. But ditching the Chargers as fans was the equivalent of puking something up. We feel better afterwards. Now, this incompetent 3 ring uninspired circus is LA’s problem. The city of San Diego should give Dean Spanos the key to the city for freeing us from having to suffer from Chargering week in and week out. It was heroic on his end

@bobdrago69657 7 месяцев назад

Dan Fouts / Rivers QB eras, John Jefferson, Kellen Winslow Sr., LDT, Junior Seau, etc those were some great teams. Those respective teams should’ve won at least one SB, but lost big time in the playoffs and the SB they did play in. My Niners won their second SB partially thanks to the acquisition of Big Louie Kelcher, Big Hands Johnson and the incomparable sack machine, Fred Dean. Who knows with the Chargers, Some kinda curse?

@pepelucho1751 7 месяцев назад

I was at that Patriot game in '06. That single game defined what it is like to be a Charger fan. It's like having an alcoholic abusive partner. I don't trust them anymore.

No mention of the Fred Dean and John Jefferson holdouts in 1981 where both players were eventually traded. While they replaced Jefferson with the acquisition of Wes Chandler, Dean's loss was felt on defense where it was awful all season.

@ArmandoVerdugo8 7 месяцев назад

You went through what went wrong pretty good in that 2006 playoff collapse but there was another penalty that Marlon mcree had that also gave the patriots the ball back on a 4th down what would've gave us the ball back but they got a touchdown out of. Also Vincent Jackson dropped a touchdown that game and so did Malcolm floyd
