Thus far his team has featured (LaDainian) Tomlinson running wild and (Drew) Brees helping lead an offense that has a 91.3 percentage rate of scoring in the Red Zone -- no wonder Schottenheimer calls that the Gold Zone...

If Owens Says They're Wrong, The San Diego Chargers Have Got To Be Right

Anger Reigns as Another Sweep Possibly Looms for the Oakland Raiders

Despite all the sorrow and angst, the Raiders could go another six years without a victory over the Chargers and the all-time series would only be at .500. One wonders why this has ever been called a rivalry...
