In a quite interesting move, the Chiefs didn't let 2005 pro bowl wide receiver Chris Chambers stay unemployed for long. After being put on waivers monday by the San Diego Chargers, the Chiefs have decided to claim Chambers off waivers just 24 hours after his released.
Per profootballtalk (PFT) Chris Chambers has been claimed by the Chiefs. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/11/03/chiefs-claim-chris-chambers/
Unfortunately for the Chiefs, this isn't the same Chambers that was in Miami. Nagging injuries to his ankle have severely tarnished his career, taking him from a 70 catch 1000 yard [...]

My dad's a pretty old-fashioned guy.
Strong willed, doesn't say much, doesn't express much in the ways of emotion. What you see is what you get, and sometimes, things are better left unsaid. Which is why it's such a kick to watch him on Sunday afternoons.
Few things in life excite him as much as the National Football League does.
Sure, he always tells stories about how great it felt to watch his sons being born (I, of course, either wasn't there or don't remember), how great it is to reel in a marlin from the ocean that's twice your size (again, not there), but to me, the window into his true personality can be observed for a few faint hours on Sundays and sometimes Mondays or Thursdays.

The San Diego Chargers would love to remind you that they are victims of circumstance.
The Holy Roller was Raider cheating combined with the wild, unpredictable bounce of the football.
If not for the exhaustion suffered the previous week at Miami and the sub-zero temperatures in Cincinnati for the 1982 AFC Championship Game, they'd have gone to the Super Bowl.
Finishing 2008 with an 8-8 record despite having one of the most talented rosters in football? Injuries combined with bad refereeing mixed in with some more injuries.
The truth is that these chronic underachievers have only themselves to blame for both recent and historic failures. They will shot themselves in the foot when necessary, they will experience a haunting and mysterious disappearance in their usual talent when [...]

Aside from traditional visits to division rivals Kansas City, Denver and Oakland, the San Diego Chargers will face off against the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, NFC East Champs New York Giants, AFC South winners Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.
Last season's combined record of San Diego's non-divisional 2009 away opponents is 50-30. While the Chargers also face difficult home opposition in Baltimore, Philadelphia and others, how the Chargers do away from Qualcomm Stadium will eventually dictate the overall success of their season and their opportunities for a potential playoff run.
The Chargers will get a chance to avenge two losses to the Steelers in 2008 with a Sunday Night showdown October 4th. After a bye and three consecutive divisional matchups, [...]
