Looking on the Bright Side

All we heard all week was how improved the Chargers' defense was under Ron Rivera. Yeah, sure it is.

Maybe the Bolts will now turn to Geraldo Rivera as their next defensive coordinator, after the Steelers pounded the Chargers 35-24 on Sunday in the AFC divisional playoffs at Pittsburgh.

And if Steelers rookie receiver Limas Sweed is able to hold onto a Byron Leftwich pass in garbage time, the score would have been 42-24.

Nice defense, San Diego.

But as always, we prefer to take a positive outlook here at Minor-League Town. And since there will be no football game next weekend at Qualcomm Stadium, the good news is that next Saturday's Monster Jam truck show can go on as scheduled.

If that's not something worth celebrating, we don't know what is.
