This is a great time of year to be thankful for what we have LaDainian Tomlinson Color Rush Jersey , where we have been, and what the future holds. Although the Chargers have lost their way a bit in recent years, the month of December still holds such incredible promise! This advent calendar is an attempt to hearken back to these days of December joy. Each day will bring a new advent from the Bolts’ history that makes it wonderful to be a Chargers fan.Dec. 23: The Chargers Have Failed to Kickoff...Twice!Kickoffs in football are a pretty common part of the game. I know, there’s been rumbles here and there about getting rid of them or making them safer, but until that day—they are just an ever-present part of the game. Well...almost.Kickoffs are indeed part of the game, but they aren’t necessarily a guaranteed part. We have already delved into the weird truth of the NFL free kick earlier in this Advent Calendar series, but the Chargers have also made their mark with two very rare marks in the record book: failing to kickoff—twice!OK. Sounds silly. How can this be true?Kickoff, noun:A kick that puts a ball in to play in American football and other sports.OK, now that we have re-learned what we likely all already know, we see that kickoffs are an integral part of the game. They MUST kickoff if they score a TD or field goal, and they have a choice if they score a safety. Beyond that Jatavis Brown Color Rush Jersey , they are offered a choice to kickoff to start one of two halves each game. Thus, each team in each game has at least ONE guaranteed option to have a kickoff.Thanks to Quirky Research.com, we can see exactly how rare this is.The only way a team can be on this list and not be shut out is to score a safety, to score at the end of the first or second half or, in a nearly impossible scenario, to score the game-winning points in overtime. Highlighted below, the Bengals are the only known team to never kick off in a non-shutout when the Patriots took an intentional safety in the fourth quarter.So, in a very strange set of events, the Chargers are on this very exclusive list twice. Once, in their inaugural season (in the AFL) against the Dallas Texans (Kansas City Chiefs), and again in 1987 against the Denver Broncos.Both times Rayshawn Jenkins Color Rush Jersey , the Chargers of course lost the game with a grant total of zero points. The wind is almost definitely the reason why the Chargers would take this course of action, but it is still an option that would have watercoolers buzzing the next day.What’s even stranger is that the Chargers did this once representing LA and once representing San Diego. Both were away games, which also factored into the decision making.-Jason “Whew knew!” Michaels This is a great time of year to be thankful for what we have, where we have been, and what the future holds.

Each day will bring a new advent from the Bolts’ history that makes it wonderful to be a Chargers fan.Dec. 14: The Only Team Fined for Dubious Towel UsageWhile the Pittsburgh Steelers might have their famous terrible towels, the Chargers are also deep in NFL lore for their own moisture-wicking accoutrements. These, however, don’t sell as well at the local airports. Let’s turn back the clock a bit to 2012, a year of great cinematic calamity and, of course Justin Jones Color Rush Jersey , unusual NFL action.October 12, 2012The San Diego Chargers were welcoming the Denver Broncos to Qualcomm Stadium.As things would have it, the first half of the game was pretty much one of the greatest halves of the 2012 season for the Bolts.By half time, the Chargers were up 24-0.Philip Rivers had 2TDs and 1 interception, and Peyton Manning was being bullied.The Chargers built their first-half lead after two special teams fumble recoveries and an 80-yard touchdown return by Quentin Jammer off a Peyton Manning interception. It happened to be the first score of Jammer’s career. Rivers also threw two touchdowns to Antonio Gates in the first half, giving the game a look of a complete thrashing.Then Philip Rivers proceeded to forget how to play football in the second half, and the Chargers lost 35–24. The loss tied San Diego with Denver for the AFC West lead with a 3–3 record. Rivers had a career-high six turnovers. One of his interceptions and one of his fumbles were returned by the Broncos for touchdowns. He had four interceptions, including three in the fourth quarter. It was ugly, and the Chargers were watching it all unfold in real time.Apparently, toward the end of the game, the Chargers were thinking outside the box to try and improve their throwing game.A Chargers equipment member was caught by the line judge hiding and handing out an “illegal stickum-type substance” during the game to players.The Chargers refused to hand over the towels at that time Kyzir White Color Rush Jersey , but they were later confiscated by the league after the game. Chargers head coach Norv Turner denied that the team cheated, and stated that the object was a towel with a substance that dries footballs. That was untrue, well, except for the towel part.The product was later identified as Gorilla Gold Grip Enhancer.Definitely, probably, pretty likely not the towel in question.Unless it did 4 years’ duty in the league.APAfter three weeks of investigation, the NFL released a statement on the matter:In short, the league agreed that the Chargers did not break the anti-Stickum rule (that substance has been banned since 1998), as they used a distinctly different product (for the same competitive advantage). The league also said that, after consulting with its competition committee, it had advised all clubs that the use of towels or other products containing any type of adhesive substance was prohibited on game days until further noticeSo Virgil Green Color Rush Jersey , there you have it. The Chargers are the only team in recent history to be directly fined for the direct use of towels on a game day. I think that the evidence of glue, sweat, crime, and punishment on this particular towel are enough to confirm that the Chargers have had ownership of a towel demonstrably more terrible than anything seen in Pittsburgh (excepting their current free fall in the standings, of course).-Jason “It’s only cheating if you go name brand” Michaels
