Chargers-Jets Analysis You Won't Find Anywhere Else


It's been a couple of hours now, and it's still hard to believe the Chargers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Jets.
But we probably should have seen this coming back in November, when Antonio Cromartie and a few other Chargers essentially conducted a rehearsal for their Super Bowl celebration party after a victory over Denver. In November.
So we're not quite as shocked as some might be over this.
But enough of that.
We have a special exclusive guest analyst with us tonight to provide Minor-League Town with his thoughts on Sunday's game, among other things. Joining us for this special event is noted aficionado of Jets gear, Kevin Arnold from "The Wonder Years."
And Sunday's Chargers loss is now especially painful for Charger fans because, if the Bolts had won, our exclusive guest analyst would have been Charger Girl Brittany R.
Oh well, sorry, Charger fans.
So now it's time to move on to our guest analyst, Kevin Arnold, who's still sporting his trademark Jets jacket as he joins us from some unnamed American suburbia.

Minor-League Town: Kevin, welcome to Minor-League Town and thanks for joining us.
Kevin Arnold:
Thanks for having me. Can I say one thing, first? ... J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!
MLT: OK, I guess we had to get that out of the way. ... Now, Charger fans are questioning Norv Turner's decision to go for an onside kick with just over 2 minutes remaining in the game. An onside kick is such a fluky play that relies on pure luck and when the opponent knows it's coming, it almost never works because they have the "hands team" in and there's so much traffic 10 yards beyond the kick. How did you see that play?
KA: Things never turn out exactly the way you planned. I know they didn't with me. Still, like my father used to say, 'Traffic's traffic, you go where life takes you' and growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers, the next you're gone, but the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a time a place, a particular fourth of July, the things that happened in that decade of war and change. I remember a house like a lot of houses, a yard like a lot of yards, on a street like a lot of other streets. I remember how hard it was growing up among people and places I loved. Most of all, I remember how hard it was to leave. And the thing is, after all these years I still look back in wonder.
MLT:
OK, thanks for that. Here's a tough question: If Winnie Cooper were to date a Charger, who might that be?
KA:
I'll say Shawne Merriman. Because Winnie has been known to make some bad decisions.
MLT: How would you deal with that, Winnie and Shawne Merriman?
KA:
All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone that makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us.
MLT: OK, compare and contrast, your brother Wayne and former Jets receiver Wayne Chrebet.
KA: One's a butthead, the other took too many shots to the head.
MLT: If you were a Charger fan, what would your thoughts be on Nate Kaeding right now?
KA:
Butthead.
MLT:
Norv Turner?
KA:
Butthead.
MLT: TV viewers will always see Kevin Arnold as a little kid wearing a Jets jacket, and not to put this interview into some weird time warp ... you're not aware of it yet since you're still a little kid, but in the future you're going to attend Stanford -- any thoughts on fellow Stanford guy, Tiger Woods?
KA:
Tiger who?
